New wheel opinions

[mzrmatt]

I am thinking about some new wheels for the GA and wanted some opinions
Here a some choices
#1 MB Motoring Rev - 18X8 5-115 40mm

^ or the same wheel in chrome
#2 Fondmetal 9x - 18X8 5-115 38mm

#3 Konig Holes - 18X7.5 5-114.3 45mm


I really like the look of Konig 5 0's but they no longer make them
Someone reccomend some choices.
Thanks

I like Wheel #2(bottom) , because is has a cleaner look to it.

Added another wheel

[papiogagt]

i would check out hp racing's shadow. they are similar to #2 but a little cleaner..

[mzrmatt]

Thanks papio, I like the look of those hp racing wheels, very similar to what I was looking for. By the way my car is white. What do you think the konig holes in graphite would look like on a white car?
Here is a pic:

I think it might be too much

[Kdawg207]

Nice!

[mzrmatt]

After doing some searching I don't think the Konigs would fit, they have a 45mm offset. Would this cause any problems? What about the other wheels, would they fit?

[02PONtiac!]

I like the 4th option. It might be to much for a white car though. #3 is sweet!!

[mzrmatt]

I think my final choice will be the Konigs in silver (if they will fit) or #2. Man, it is hard tho pick out wheels, so many different choices

I am pretty sure the wheel will not fit properly with that offset(45mm).

[mzrmatt]

DAMN!!! That wheel was my favorite one too.
oh well, I'll just find something similar.

When I was deciding on which wheels to get I didn't have a whole lot of money, so my decision was a little easier. I like the 5- "twin spoke" look like the Konigs pictured above. I'd go with the Konigs in silver, IMO black wouldn't look right on a white car.

I had Chrometechs, but would never get chrome wheels again as they get dirty too easily.

I think I am going to go with #2. Ift the Konigs fit I would be on

them in a second, but I am afraid they won't. Would 225/40/18's

be the tire size I need for 18X8 5-115 38mm rims? And would I

need hubrings even though they are 5x115?

I think #2 is a good choice.I am not an expert my any means when it comes to wheels and tires,but I am pretty sure that is the right tire you need and you will not need hub rings with that wheel since that is the stock bolt pattern.

[papiogagt]

if i were you on an 8" rim, i would go with a 235 series tire.. ir eally wish i would have, with the 225, i have absolutely no rim protection..

[mzrmatt]

Thanks for the info. I was trying to decide between 225 and 235 will probably go with the 235. I am going to order these wheels in 3 or 4 weeks. I can't wait.....

Then comes the lowering springs

I have seen the Konig Five-Os online for sale still, last time I saw them they were $154 a piece for 17x8's.

I have searched all over and can not find them.
Do you remember where you saw them at?

This is a different one, I will try and find the ones that are $154 a piece. But they are the 4th rim down.
