I'm thinking about upgrading stock to Konig Helium wheels. 15x6.5, 10.6 pounds each. I'm not looking for bling, but for a light inexpensive wheel to help with acceleration, performance, etc. Still debating the upgrade and what to upgrade to.



Thanks.

Not bad, if you like those you might also like the Rota Circuit-8s

word, hit up rishie at autornd.com they sell rota. Lighter and cheaper and avialable in a variety of colors. what size?

Texodore

What's tempting is some website that seems to be selling the Konig's for $82.

I'd almost rather go with the C8's since more people have experience with them, even though the Konig is lighter. I've got someone local selling the C8's for $100 (www.urbanimport.com), and that's the lowest I've seen on those (although I have to pay 7% tax, which makes it equal). This will be for daily driving, and the only Konig Helium users are Miata and RSX weirdos.

I'm just getting 15s if I get anything.

Decisions...

ive never heard of them, are you sure they are reputable? I'd hate to see someone get ripped off.

Texodore

I'll do some research and if I get them I'll let folks know what the deal is. Thanks.

I had Heliums on My 01 Civic Si i loved them. One of the best wheels i have had. And i have had a lot of wheels! They balenced out nice and weight is no factor. I SAY GET THEM

looks good
nice volk copies. only thing i don't like about it is the offset is too high.

Hey texodore, I agree with BOXMAN. GET EM' I just ordered my set from the same place I believe. I am soooo excited. I don't know about you, but I know I wanted a lightweight performer that was not real flashy. I also seem to see lot's of ROTA or DRAG wheels on boxes and thought these would be different. I say GET EM' and good luck with them.

I got mine (flat black) from DRFlickner here and installed them on 2/24. I like 'em.

I had a set of the 17" Heliums on my 200sx and I loved them. They were lightweight and affordable. Konig is a very reputable company, so you won't go wrong with your purchase. . I'm looking into getting a set of the 15's in bronze myself. Here is a pic of them on my nissan.

a friend of mine had them on his SE-R and when he totaled that he sold them to another friend of mine who has them on her Integra.

I'm running them on my box in Bronze. Check my profile, There is a good pic.

been through alot of rims, I have the bronze 15s with 205/50/15's on my 2002 civic.. love them cuz they are inexpensive and light. I haven't had any problems yet... hit a few downtown LA potholes... no bends or cracks.

I got a set in silver and they look great. Found a shop I paid $409 installed.
