the rims are pretty good but black on black im not a huge fan of. id say go for some gunmetal rims. thats my opinion though.

I like those rims, what are they? But yeah, I'm not a fan of black + black either. Get bronze or gunmetal on black.

Prelude_2_NV · 02-06-2002, 11:43 AM

these are the new konig traffiks.

well i'm going to the wheel shop to see what they look like in person

I just got those in white on my red 4g... BTW, what size are you getting? I went with 15", but they should look good in any size. Id say go to the shop and stick them in front of your stock tires. Then stand from a little distance and try to visualize how they will look.

It shouldnt rub, how much are you lowered?

actually Jordan, i really don't know.

i'm guessin around 3".

when the car is on level ground, i have slight tire tuck in da front and the back has a little bit more.

i'll try to get better pics up when my film is developed

damn... I am not even sure if i want to lower my car 1.5" since my WW RS lip scrapes with my car at stock height.

Prelude_2_NV · 02-06-2002, 10:26 PM

a few days ago a friend of mine wanted to see what my car would look like with a front lip

i forgot what the lip was called but it was so low that is was literally 1-2 inches off tha ground!

looks like my lude will be kit free

Body shop improperly installing/WW RS lip falling off...

I like those style rims. Looks just like the Advans or Mugen rims.
Don't get black on black. get gunmetal.

I like those rims alot. I would go with white though. They would look awsome on your car in white. IMO white and black go good together, not black and black.

I was going to get the Konig Traffiks, but then I called Konig and asked how much they weighed (17x7)... the guy on the phone said 26lbs per wheel. Forget that, they may look sweet, but they will be slowing you down. I bought a set of OZ Superleggera's instead. Good Luck...

Yeah... I didnt realize until after the fact that my 15" konigs weihg 20lbs. That alot, but I still like the way they look. And they were cheaper than everything else so after my accident it was those or stock (same price, those still shave a couple lbs).

Prelude_2_NV · 02-07-2002, 07:26 PM

oh for real??

damn 26 lbs is heavy!

looks like i need another option.
