Wheel Directory: Konig Daylight 17x7.0 +40
Will get more later. Wheels are cheap at $134 each from Discount Tire. So light too. Track setup, wearing 215/45/17 Hankook R-S3 at 22lbs each. Havent had them on a scale, JUST picked them up but I've seen the Konigs weighed at 14.6lbs so ~37lb at each corner estimated

I like! Not sure what the stock offset is...38? What effect does the 40 have?
Are these actually 7" wide or are they 7.5"?

7" wide.
Stock is +48 offset. Doesnt seem to be any issue. Just moves the wheels 8mm closer to the suspension. Going to do alignment tonight and hope -1.5 degrees on camber wont be an issue with the +40

Moves 8mm AWAY (out) from suspension. Would be real nice if you could take one off and weight it for sure. Tires should be 22lbs..

Really? I thought lower offset sunk into the car... That's why my 16x8s on my Mazda were soo far out to the edge, +50 offset on an 8" wide wheel

Nope. Lower (positive) offset= mating surface is closer to the center of the barrel = barrel moves outward relative to the hub.

It seems brighter in person. It was overcast when I took the photo. Will take more another time with more sun, it's plenty bright.

Those look great! How's konigs track history for wheel quality? I always thought they were the kinda brand you'd see at pep boys. Also, where are they made? I think I'd like a set of these on my car but kinda wish they in other colors. I found gold and green haha

Konigs are used for autocross a bit, due to light and cheap but they are not the highest quality in the world. I just cant find anyone with 17x7 5x100 forged wheels in anything close to a reasonable price. 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

Hmm sounds like they may not be too worry-free in a daily driving application. Hardly helps that most PA roads are pretty crummy.

They hold up for DD as I've seen tons of cheapos around on cars around here for years.
