They have multiple lines and most of them ARE Pepboys BS, overweight crappy wheels but they have some for entry level racing (Daylite and Feather mainly)

If I was doing hardcore track racing (note track, not autocross) I wouldnt want Konigs but these should hold up well.

They make these in black with thin yellow stripe, gold and green
A few of the Konig wheels, such as the Milligram, are made by Enkei using there MAT technology. All of the Konig wheels are manufactured in very high quality, modern factories, that hold very high standards.

I didnt know about that the Enkei partnership. I was not worried about them being poor quality. Enough people driving them on cars for years, no problems.

I just usually avoided Konig in the past due to being hideously ugly usually. These are respectable though nothing special.

they look good on your car, but I'm not a fan of the brand. Everyone I know that had Konigs cracked them when DDing. That's 4 people, and one of those 4 cracked two of them weeks apart hittng some pothole.

That might sound doom and gloomy but my story IS anecdotal and 4 people and 5 cracked rims is a small sample size. Maybe just a bad batch or what have you. But I wont touch em with a 10 foot pole.

I'm sorry but without any kind of evidence I feel that is not fair to Konig's potential customers.

I know MANY people that have had them over the years and NEVER an issue with anything like that. A few years ago I had a set that the clear coat chipped, and they replaced them no questions asked.

I have a 16 inch set as my winters for the Santa Fe and they seem extremely well built. Every company has good and bad models.

Wish they made those in simple silver or graphite. Gold works with WRB lucky for you!

It would work on the darker blue too. Blue, white, black or red would work well with gold.

Dont plan on drop. Stock springs needed for stock autocross class. If I want to go further, I need ~$6k-7k to an STX build

Too bad those Konigs aren't stock legal (SCCA), otherwise it's a nice lightweight option. What wheels are you planning to run for autocross?
