Discount Tire Direct has them in 4x100. The 16" size is $143 & I never bothered to price tires since I already have a set of 205/50/16 tires. They also have free shipping, so to me it's a good deal. I have had a few sets of 17" wheels & with a 40 or 45 sidewall I feel like the ride is too rough so I wanted to drop to a 16" wheel so I could get a bigger sidewall on the tires & make it a bit more comfortable. I have no plans to change the stock suspension so this is my best shot at getting bigger than stock wheels & still having a somewhat comfortable ride. That's what I was going for with this style, I wanted something that is a 50/50 mix between aftermarket & a somewhat factory look. Something basic.
Does anyone know if Konig makes or made a wheel that is identical to that TSW wheel? I saw a hatchback Civic 1 day that had 16" wheels on it that looked identical to those wheels but they had Konig centercaps. I have no clue if they were Konig wheels or if the dude just put Konig centercaps on the wheels. Just curious.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah Konig does make one that looks similar, it's the C7 series model 187. It comes in 14x6, 15x6.5, 16x7, and 17x7. The spokes look a little bit narrower though.

My every day wheels are 16's (Niche Shocking Shocks for 666, my fellow Niche user [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]) and it is nice that potholes are just a mild concern instead of a reason to panic[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
