Konig Wheels

Rider · 01-27-2010, 01:35 PM

Do any of you guys know anything about Konig wheels? Apparently my OEM wheels on my Maxima need replacing. The paint/clear coat is flaking off around the tire bead and the bead is not seating properly so air is slowly leaking out. The guy at the shop recommended some Konig Zero In wheels. I know these are pretty inexpensive wheels but remember this is a 13yo car so I don't want to spend a lot of money on wheels. Just wondering what you car guys think.

Konig Zero In:

Wow. The pic of the wheel is actual size.

They've been one of the biggest brands for years. Nothing wrong with them.

I would price-check on Tire Rack though.

Also make sure the "offset" measurement is close to yours, otherwise they will stick out or stick in too much.

So are the wheels pitted around the bead area?

How can I tell what the OEM offset is?

Say, I can't really see that pic. Can you make it a little bigger?

Homeslice · 01-27-2010, 01:59 PM

Offset is usually stamped on the wheel, it'll say something like "35mm" or "50mm"

If not, just call Tirerack they can look it up.

I didn't want to bother you with old man glasses to go along with your old man shoes.
