Was looking at the rpf1s at 18.7lb without hubcap, with hubcap 18.9lb for $1356 shipped.

A lot of people run rpf1s so nothing unique if I were to get a set too, also they dont even look so good so I settled for Konig Milligrams at 19.8lbs including hubcap for 900 shipped. GF chimed in 400 of those 900 as a Bday gift

Have to wait a month before Konig makes em and ships em to me.

Now question for the experts with 9.5" width and 25mm offset can I expect some concavity?

am also planning to do a red stripe on the machined part.

Should of go with 10 wide 25 mm offset
They dont have any concave even with the lowest offset

to OP where are the pictures.........thinking of Rota then Xxr now this one at least it is light and with the MAT from Enkie.

I think they are a nice forged lightweight rim, as good as any Japanese rim for sure.

I know they simply extend the hub piece for the lower offsets with wide wheels, so the hub area will just look more sunken in, not the actual wheel face.

Not exactly low price but a damn nice alternative to the RFP1's. I like the enkie's but they are ugly. This wheel is as good looking as anything out there.

Haven't gotten them yet, they just cleared customs so im getting excited.. Wont mount them until its warm, but I will definitely put up pics...

This is the equivalent of the PF01, not the RPF1. Going by how the PF01 is built, its unlikely you will see much concavity at all.

How do you think these will hold up on the track?!? looking for some nice light track rims that arnt $2000 was looking at rpf1's but these look pretty sick

it's like your Konig is made to order just for you. i really want to see more evo x installed pictures.

They are made using the same MAT process Enkei uses. So for all practical purposes, they may be good enough.

i wonder if gold will look ok with GGray evo x.

 

[ak47m203]

not the actual car and wheels, just trying to see gold and gg evo x. i dont want to create a new thread just for this.

got it evo gg with gold...looks good...hhhm black or gold. i hope somebody can photoshop Konig gold.

they were .. Konigs website said there weren't any in stock, so they made them after I placed the order... I just checked, they are still not in stock, so I think they only made 4.. lol..

 

[Keshav707]

wheels came in ... pics away!

not at all concave... oh well..

unlike common belief, these are made in China..

came with a nice billet aluminum center cap and a metal valve stem..

valve cap, parent company logo maybe?

everything came safely packaged..

Discount Tire Direct also included free metal hub centric rings, anodized black..

and finally their weight, with center caps on.. 20lbs!!!

nice wheels keshav. looks like I was right about the concavity.

yeah you were ... BTW ill be in Herndon this weekend, maybe see your X on the road..

How are these "forged" if they use the same technology as the rpf1, which is a cast wheel? How strong are these things? I've never been a fan of Konig, but these thing look GOOD. Where did you order them from and how long did they take to come in?

i question too, maybe they arnt entirely cast.. got these at discount tires direct.. took 4 week for delivery..

Every wheel begins as a casting. Forging means pressure is applied after it is cast to align the molecules of the casting to the desired shape and make it more dense. There are many ways of applying this pressure in different stages and at different temperatures.

The only type of wheel that does not begin as a casting (usually spun afterwards starting with a castig blank) is a machined wheel. There it is just a billet block.

So how strong are these compared to say.... the BBS wheels on the MR?

I really like these, but I'm not sure how I feel about the "machined undercut". Also, there is just something about riding around on a Konig wheel that puts me off. IDK. At $900 they are hard to pass up.
