Question for the rim experts....

What is your opinion of Konig rims?

I do not know if they are quality, but I have seen several designs that I like.

Thoughts...

I was reading that the we'd sport SA 55M scratches easy and that the caps don't come with the wheels. Im sorry but any wheel will scratch, easily.

konig kilogram and milligram both use MAT process (officially licensed by enkei, but made in china i believe). cant speak for the quality of the wheels, but good to know that they are trying.

Some were known to crack. We have a cracked one from the race car sitting in the garage.

Many wheels don't come with caps.
