Never have I read a thread with so much fail in it. Punctuate, capitalize, space, jesus h christ. To answer the question at hand, that silver Z that had the wheels in question on it, did not look bad, does that mean I'd rock 'em? No, it doesn't, which is why I'm rolling factory 18's until I can afford some wheels that'll matter. But, in all honesty man, it's your car, do what you want with it, and don't take any of these negative responses seriously.

Konig may be cheap ugly sh|t wheels but at least they blatantly copy high end wheels. You cant get lower than Rotas in my book.

Come on guys, we dont drive Corollas.
haha this thread is full of FAIL. Starting with Konigs then 180$ BALLIN, this guys first post saying Konigs>Rota and then this post. Lol u think ur a baller bc u have used Volks?

I'm willing to bet that 99% of rota failure is due to operator error, most wheels before being mass produced have to go through a slew of tests to ensure durability and quality, there's no way that a wheel would separate from it's hub under normal driving conditions, for what they are, and no i'm not saying I'd rock rotas on a Z, they are a low priced, somewhat decent entry level wheel for those of us that're ballin' on a budget, hell, for the longest time I rolled painted hubcaps on my integra, rice I know, but at least I left the LED washer nozzles off the car.

I'll take the more lighter "poser" wheels any day over boat anchor "konig" wheels.

lol, im a baller because I have new volks, got the stolen, then bought another set of brand new volks 3 weeks later. If you think i'm somehow better than you are because I have certain wheels on my car then sure, i guess i'm better than you.

Guess thats what happens when you make stupid assumtions on a car forum. Oh well. Just more fail on this thread I guess.

I don't know much about the Konig brand, but I think the deep lip on the Lace looks pretty good. The 'Netz' is OK too, but most of the Konig wheels DO look like BBS'...

Konig wheels on a Z are like wearing a $1000 suit with $15 Walmart shoes.

I would imagine Nissan puts more resources into the design and manufacturing of their wheels than Konig, if you get Konigs IMO you are going backwards and putting crappier wheels on than what you have. If you aren't going to put some real quality into the Z then save your money and don't do anything at all.

The same can be said about most wheel manufacturers. If your car comes with stock forged Rays, then why downgrade to anything else? Its like seeing a EVO or STi/STI on rotas even though they come on BBS'. Just doesn't make sense to anyone with half a brain.

^ +1...I think if you're going that route you should stick with the stock wheels for now. But besides quality and name, the offsets for konig cant possibly be anywhere near decent for a z. You would def. have to run spacers.
