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.

They are part of Icon Helmet'ss "rimz" line.

(In other words...no idea...but if i were you...don't get em wet and don't feed tham after midnight)

Wow. The pic of the wheel is actual size.

So are the wheels pitted around the bead area?

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.

Yes they are pitting too.

How can I tell what the OEM offset is?

I would have them wire brush it and hit it with bead sealer. Should stop the leak. It will make it a bitch to break the bead when it is time for new tires, but that really isn't your problem is it?

I had a set on my Prelude for a few years. They were pretty nice. Easy to get center caps for also because they're a pretty common brand.

That works great on steal rims but not so good on chrome.

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