konig troubles

iceman · 05-09-2004, 07:30 PM

I'm in love with these rims.. but for the life of me can't find anyone that has them in stock, or won't charge $100 more than MSRP (which is 229 a wheel).. unforunately I need tires bad and got my hands on another set of wheels and tires already, but just tossing these out there for everyone to see - they'd look hot on a black GA. someone get them

here's a chop that Troy did for me a little while back

also the reasons are similar but in a 7 spoke, not 5.

daaaaayum, those DO look hot!

i know

I'll never be happy until I get them but oh well

hopefully soemone else can get their hands on em

Good luck on getting your hands on them. I think nearly all those I had on my first shipment were sold even before they showed up in the warehouse. Did a quick inventory check, to find 52 of 17x7 5x114.3 on the shelf right now in Exeter, PA. Still waiting on my 18"/19" shipment though.

Nice wheels! I wonder how they'd look on a silver GA w/black trim. Anyone want to do a chop?

What size you want ?? I have 17's ready to go.

iceman · 05-10-2004, 09:40 PM

Like I said, I gave up... I was looking for the 18s though. IMO why get 17s when 18s fit and look so much better

jadog1230 · 05-10-2004, 10:34 PM

here ya go. $1199 for the wheel and tire package but the tires are only 215/35/18

^^
Call wheels next and see what the story is on troubles - for the last 5 months, they've been saying they'll "be here at the end of the month" and when they get in the price will not be that cheap

For like the third time now, I ALREADY HAVE WHEELS.... I was just tossing this out for everyone else. If it were that easy to throw "konig troubles" in google and buy them from the first site that popped up, they'd be sittin here already..

AMRAAM4 · 05-11-2004, 05:28 AM

Sethela, you should get those Troubles!!

Wallflower · 05-11-2004, 08:25 PM

If you want to get creative .....

What if I said that I show (2) 18x7.5 and (2) 18x8 in 5x114.3 in my warehouse right now? The 7.5's are on a 45mm offset, and the 8's are on a 30mm, both are 73mm bore. May need a small spacer out back for those 8's to work.

iceman · 05-11-2004, 08:27 PM

Hopefully someone will take you up on your offer... but I'm all set for now..

Thanks for the help though, much appreciated. Someone go buy them if they'll work

RAZE · 05-11-2004, 08:36 PM

Nice weights

AMRAAM4 · 05-12-2004, 04:32 AM

BLANG BLANG!!

jadog1230 · 05-12-2004, 07:35 AM

wallflower how much would you be charging for those?

Wallflower · 05-17-2004, 10:20 PM

I am a wholesaler for Konig, so I would have to put you in contact with one of my customers. Up to them on what they would charge. How far do you mind driving ?

I am out of the 18's now. But I still have the 17's. I also show a set of 19's in 30mm.

so wheels never actually come across in front of your face?

Wallflower · 05-18-2004, 04:40 PM

Technically, no. I work in a call office for the company here in Ohio. The main warehouse is in Pennsylvania. We have 2 or 3 semi trucks bring in parts to the small warehouse behind the office, then those trucks are sorted out to the customers' deliveries and put on cube vans.

I can link to the warehouse inventory anywhere, but I can't place orders. I can't sell to the general public, but I can give you a location of one of our retailers where you can, in turn, purchase from them.
