Super cheap deal on 15" & 17" Konig wheels
NASA is pleased to announce another amazing Member Benefit courtesy of Konig Wheels. This new program will allow NASA members to purchase any Konig 15-inch wheel for $55 and any Konig 17-inch wheel for $75. Members will have to provide verification of their membership status to Konig and also run four Konig stickers provided with the wheels on their cars, but this is a small price to pay for such a killer deal.
“This deal is simply unbeatable and will give all of our members a shot at some excellent wheels for a tiny amount of cash”, said Chris Cobetto, NASA’s Mid-Atlantic Director and architect of the deal. “We’re very happy to provide this program for NASA members and we’re looking forward to seeing grids full of Konig-shod cars in 2005”, added Ernie Manansala, Jr. from Konig.

dont they make the kolorz? which are like 11 lbs a wheel?not to mention helium,hurry, holes,next , network and rewing
Kolors =15x7/17x7 15x7 = 15lbs 17x7 =17.3 lbs
helium =15x6.5/17x7 15x6.5 = 10.8 lbs 17x7= 19.8 lbs
hurry=15x6.5 15x6.5 =16 lbs
holes=15x6.5/16x7/17x7 15x6.5= 13.8lbs 16x7=16.0 lbs 17x7=17.8 lbs
next=15x7/17x7 15x7 = 8.88 lbs 17x7 =18.7 lbs
network=15x7 15x7 = 17.1 lbs
Rewind 15x7 15x7= 13.3 lbs
A little searching can do wonders.
Those are the nicest and lightest rims konig makes.

Rep Power: 320 Honestly they could have picked a better manufacture that had lighter 15x7s available, but oh well.
These are what im looking for to throw on the miata...
Rota RB 13x8(14 lbs)...for the vintage panasport look, & a hell of a wide rim.
Good luck finding any though, they are very hard to find.
Edit...
They barely fit over the 1.8 Miata rotors.

Rep Power: 382 SevenCyrus, think about it... With 15X7's Vs 15X6.5... thats an extra 2" of contact patch. (.5 per wheel) You are absolutly better off with a 15X7, even if its a little Heavier.

Rep Power: 0 plus, u can fit a bigger tire on a 15x7 vs a 15x6.5 if u want even more of a contact patch. I think the best u can do for a 15x6.5 is 205's, ( without TOOO much bubble or a huge sidewall) ,where with 15x7's ive seen someone run a 225, which is a hugeeee tire.

SevenCyrus, I'd run pink wheels if they were wide enough and light enought... but then I'm sick like that.
(why do you think i have slipstreams for my race wheels? not exactly the best looking wheel out there)

Rep Power: 0 15x7's with 225's. That's insane!!! I've got 15x8's with 225's on and a hair of sidewall bubble. I can't imagine taking an inch off my rims with the same tires.

Rep Power: 0 pretty much the wider the rim the better, but its super rare to find anything bigger than 15x7. 15x8, is sweet, sounds like something a volkswagen would use. is ur car lowered? casue i would think they would almost hit fender.

Rep Power: 0 Don't hit the fender yet and I'm only dropping it about an inch so I should not be getting any rub when I do. I have had them on for daily driver right now to learn the tires but I will be taking them off soon to save for race days.
