nice rims on tires get 215/40/17 that will be good even 205/ 40 will do the job

I like both kinds but if I had to choose I would go with the motegi. I'm sure it looks really tight on your black car (from what I saw in the Members Rides)

The Motegis will be really heavy. With tire expect 45lbs.
don't know about konigs..but they lok nice.
I like less spokes it sloks cleaner but makes the rear brake drum look like it should not
be there, so You will probably have to get the Motegi's Oh yeah don't forget a rear camber kit.
THEY WILL KINK IN!

Hmmm.... I was wondering how long it would take to knock off the Wed's Sport SA90s. Anyways, f*** the motegis, get the real ones. They're not that expensive.
