Dirty, try to search the company web sites to find the weight comparison. Other than that... they are very similar is design and style. Its really a matter of budget and personal preference. A lot of peeps on this site have those wheels. Also search by those topics to see if there are any complaints about those wheels.

I have the motegi's.....mr7 18's......They have treated me great for a while now.......no complaints whatsoever.......
There is a weight difference though......I believe it's 4lbs a wheel......which, Idunno, its up to you.....
(konig's are lighter)........
I LOVE the way they look though.......def. my style.....

Tantrums are 19.92 lbs and the MR7's are I believe 23-24 pounds...or something in that area. Another wheel to consider is the Tenzo AV7.

Depends on your taste. If you want silver, then tantrums only come in that. However, keep in mind that the Gunmetal MR7s chip quite easily. I should know, I have them and I am quite disappointed in the way they chip.

I forgot to add, when it comes to quality, I think the Tantrum wheel itself is of good quality and has served me well, but I've had problems with the damn center caps warping and popping off as well as the "tantrum by konig" badging falling off. I know this isn't necessarily a problem to the wheel itself, but sure is a pain in the a$$, especially when Konig won't respond to warranty issues.
