Buy some Konig Rewinds. Nobody will know the difference nor care.

It's like I'm really playing NFS Underground 2 again!

Nah, it's not the same without those concaves.

Rota Rbs or Rota RB-Rs are a nice alternative as well, fwiw. Im running a set of the rbrs on my z and love em

Wtf I never knew Rota has a...similar style of these. Hmmm, I might consider that for my FC but in Magnesium. Why yes yes bedee gud.

Do it, do it now.

+1

Rotas are fine on the street, but if you touge frequently I'd go w/the Konig's btw

Dare I ask why, without delving into illegal activity discussion?

Nothing illegal at all Rota's are cheap because they use the cheapest manufacturing method (gravity casting) instead of forged (BBS, Volks, etc.). Konig actually uses Enkei's MAT (Most Advanced Technology ) on some of their wheels http://konigusa.net/nodisplay/mat-technology-wheel-process/. It's also called flow-forming, a compromise between gravity casting & forging in both strength & cost. Though to be fair, I'm not sure if the Konig Rewind is made using MAT technology...lol

I applaud you for coming through on this. You have impressed me.

Never knew a lot about rims but... interesting. I can now say I learned something new today

Cast wheels really just don't have the strength for the track, period. I've seen tons of wheels bent by curbing that shouldn't have had any issues.

Monoblock for life.

Thanks Tessou! This IS the technical section right? You'll like what we're doing at Project Hyperion & LSL Motorsports!

With ya there! Flow-formed wheels aren't bad either for those that don't want to shell out $$$ for Volks/BBSs.

Awesome Wufei. Definitely got me into looking in-depth on more quality wheels than mentioned above.

Track time? Meme images? AGREES WITH ME? I like this guy already!

Yeah, Volks are a pretty penny, even being the third owner of my CE28N-TAs, I still paid more than any other set of new wheels I had my eye on. Totally worth it though.
