Maybe not overly tested as RPF1s but wouldn't say they are unproven. Konig sponsors quite a few track only cars with their wheels. Did a quick search for 350z and Hypergrams.

Yup, but the original note above made it sound like Konig itself just got into the game. Hey, wait, why I defendin'?!? Don't take it so personally bealljk! Hahahahaha!

Hypergrams
18x10.5 +25 square
275/35 Federal 595RS-RR square (easily as wide as typical 285)
-2 deg front
-1.5 rear
dropped 1" front, .25" rear
sitting nose up on steep driveway, so front/rear ride height is little skewed.

I can add more pictures later today if anyone needs a reference.
Installed them about a 2 months ago and have around 1000 miles driven on them.
Ugh, that would be the setup I'd get too. I thought I decided I was happy with my stock 5 spokes but that setup looks so good.

Little known- if you notice the DST logo (Dynamic Spinning Tech) on the wheel, it is also part of Advanti Racing. Advanti, Advan, Konig, Enkei, OZ, several other brands all subcontract YHI International manufacturing for many (but not all) of their wheels. Sometimes you will see cross logos across different brands.
