I'm confused, you say beside the obvious, then you say this!

Picture a circle with 4 equally spaced dots and then one with 5. The two don't look the same do they? That's why the 4 won't fit on your 5.

I had a set of Konigs on a past Honda and was not impressed with them at all. They had one of those "center caps" that cover the lug nuts and 1 of the 4 would not even screw in, brand new. 2 of the other 3 fell off while driving. This was like 6-7 years ago. This was at a time when 19"s were going for $2,000 w/o tires (for KONIGS!).

Konig refused to do anything about it other than ship me 2 new center caps, at my cost!!! That said, I would never put Konig's on a Z. Period.

Your car though, do as you please.

Call Wheeldude directly if you're unsure about the offsets. He will point you to the right direction. It's not worth saving $200 then end up with wheels that don't fit or have horrible offset.
