Nanglebadger Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hey chaps and chapettes...went to see about the wheels I've been thinkin of the other day (the Konig Holes), only to discover that they aint availale anymore which was a bit poo. However, i do have the possibility of purchasin these 17" Konig Troubles , i think the graphite colour will go very well with the colour of my motor, plus i really like the 5spoke look, esp when the wheels are turnin, looks real aggressive. Not 100% sure yet, gonna take a spin up wit my old man and have them put against the car sometime soon, see how they look. Just keepin ya's posted.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilal Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 They are nice dude, try to go for something rare thats what makes your car unique! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 Cheers, they're not availabe anymore at the mo or so I've been told, apparently the company that brings them from the US to england cant get them anymore, so hopefully that means not too many people will have them, plus they're pretty damn expensive which hopefully will mean not too many scabby chavs will have them.Phil.

ecksjay Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 not really a fan personally, some guy on TGTT has them on his toyota corolla thing, but its personal preference i guess.much prefer alot of items from ROTA, but it is your choice, they aint bad, just not what i'd choose.

Nanglebadger Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 Im off the rotas, by the time i got them here and wrapped them in rubber it would cost more than the Konigs, esp as im hopefully gettin a good deal on them.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ecksjay Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 14's are where its at Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Cheers for your feedback guys but yeah we all have different tastes, like I've said before im not tryin to weight save for speed or anything which is why i wana go 17s, I've 14s at the mo, useless. I liked the look of Geo's old blue one with the 17s and the 18s on SiCalns looked well too and i dont wana do the 'jap' look because everyones done it so im just optin for a tasty set that'll look tidy as hell.

Nanglebadger Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 I meant go the whole hog with the jap look thing, angled end can, rays or rays look-a-likes etc etc.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 At the end of the day, its your choice Phil mate. Dont listen to wat anyone else says, its your car do wateva you want with it. Personally i think your making a good choice with them wheels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Excellent, cheers Sparky mate.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hey Phil mate I agree with Sparky!Go with your own flow, thats the whole point of customising your car right ;bIt don't hurt to ask others opinions tho, its up 2u at the end of the day and its not about £££ either just getting the right style and size to suit you. Fair play for not wanting to go jap and also not worrying about comprimising speed for style as you want 17"s!As you know I have 15" non-jap alloys myself, altho at the time I wanted light weight or polished lip but in the end I went for something that really suited the car.It will be cool to hold them up against your car so you can get a good idea of what they will look like, end of the day take your time mate there's no rush aye, rims can be an important focal point of the car! Definitely shop around a little more if I were you unless you got your heart set on those Konig Troubles ;bGood luck with your choice mate, I'm sure they will go well with your car whichever you choose!Done a few things and getting some other things put on my car, will get pics as soon as its all done, I cancelled the apexi phil mate took too long from funky! Oh yea also need your advice on my wheels too, plz check out my topic in the photoshop section, could do with your comments Peace Out Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Cheers Joz mate, sorry to hear about your apexi, try 5400rpm on ebay man, much much cheaper. I'll check out your wheels now dude.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 cool bro, thats sound as,my prefrence on those wheels is that they are too fussy i think, so not really liking them,have you other options on different wheels? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 No man thats it, i like 5 spoke wheels and these ones are availabe now. Feel free to make any suggestions tho.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
