I've said it before and I'll say it again, all round the konigs are better rims, they are stronger, lighter, better finish, and a better brand name... not just my thoughts we used to sell both of them and now we only carry Konig... that alone tells you something. Hope that helps.

Good Luck

I plan on getting the Konig Tantrums. I think they weigh about 3-4lbs. less than the Mr-7.

I have Motegi MR7 17x7 white wheels, and they are very very strong and have an excellent finish in my experience. They are very heavy too, but they've held up perfectly for like almost 20K miles of driving on hard roads, no dents and only 2 scratches from mother f**king PepBoys I think. If you arent racing I'd reccomend them for looks.

Btw, I'm selling mine, check out the thread in Marketplace

I have the Tantrums, I looked at both the Mr7's & the tantrums before I bought. I went with the tantrums for a couple of reasons, first off they are lighter by 3-4lbs, second the Tantrums only have the 4-lug holes while the Mr-7's have universal holes so there's like 9 lug holes or something. i think a wheel looks nicer without the extra lug holes. and lastly I prefer the Konig Name over Motegi.

For those of you that have the Konig... What size tires are you using. Im planning on getting these wheels but every package that I see comes with 205/40/17 and I want to get 215/45/17. Which one do you guys think is better?
