They look good with your setup. I wonder if they just bought the molds (or redesigned molds) for the TR-Motorsports MT1 wheels. Almost the same style, weights and sizes. It was a tirerack only brand that just never did too well and it was built using the Enkei MAT process as well. Everyonce in a while you could get the 18x10+25 wheels for $199.

From what I've read (not confirmed) Enkei produces their wheels

The thin-spoke no-lip wheel has always been popular for motor sports. Reminds me of the Weds Sport SA-70.

feathers are not for use on these cars, they are designed primarily with FWD cars in mind

Nicest looking set of Konig's I've seen....ever. Cool they are made by Enkei with the MAT process, definitely a step up from a standard cast wheel.

If you search around they are about $100 cheaper each than RPF1's but 2 pounds heavier. I probably would have bought them for track wheels if i saw them a couple months ago.

I'm probably still going to buy Enkei's for the Juke, but this is a good value for sure. I like that some of these companies are starting to offer some better quality wheels in their lineup. I saw TSW is even offering a forged monoblock wheel.

PS posted pics over in the Juke thread.

That's not entirely true that it's not a forged wheel. The wheel is cast in a way that the barrel still needs to be roll forged. So technically like VOLK the barrel is forged and the center is cast but it's a one piece wheel. It's even painted on the wheel rim no matter how ghey that might be.

So I talked to Konig and Jetpilot is right and there process is called FRT (forged Rim Technology). Also Enkie does not make this wheel for them Konig makes the wheel themselves.

agree with some of the others... that is by far the BEST Konig I've seen and the first Konig that made me think "If I ever need a inexpensive wheel solution, that might be it" although I'm not a fan of the extensive lettering on the inner lip.
