Re: identify wheels?

cant complain, i only paid 100 for the rims themselves
do you know of any other similar lightweight rims?
im actually running them on a 93 miata, i got these from my friend who keeps breaking his hondas , he blew one up racing me
il admit though, i loved his d16 he had, it was apparently built good

konig heliums are similar looking and cost around 100 each or less. they have em in silver, black, and bronze. and each rim is around 11 lbs. alot of miata guys use em cause they are light and cheap
