10.5lbs Konig Wheels

[Nutzoids]

So in my endless search for the perfect wheels for my car I came Across the Konig Minuz... Made a Phone call to Konig to ask about Weight...

Yep 10.5 pounds!

I also called Discounttire.com and was told they are $95 a wheel!

I have seen Forged Wheels for twice the price at 10 pounds even!

Great Wheel, Great Weight, Great Reputation

Konig Minuz!

:evil:

link? price?

Nicely done Stever! A great choice! They're knockoffs of the same wheels Thomas is using AFAIK. You thinking that gunmetal color?

[eTiMaGo]

looks good! yeah, similar design to mine, but more "square" in a way, I guess.

What size are you going for?

Flat Black Probably... Weight is the most Important aspect for me!

I know... Thomas I told you before I wanted your wheels... After all you do have the Sexxiest Yaris in the World!

I will be going for 15"... Again... Weight is very important to me!

Yo Nutz, you have incredibly good taste! :thumbup: I got the flat black Minuz also! Yes, there are incredibly light, and I could not be much happier with them.

I bought mine from buywheelstoday.com for $89 apiece, but I think DTD offers free shipping, so prolly a wash.

Why is weight so important...are you auto-x'ing or something?

No it's just my daily driver...

I feel that this cars Greatest asset is the fact that it only weighs 2200 or so Pounds...

Installing things like a Stereo with Amps... and Front/Rear Strut bar... and a Turbo kit... with all that piping... will add weight to the car...

Removing as much weight as I can where I can... Back seat, Spare tire, Wheels, and a new battery should counteract all that added weight...

My buddy works for a Toyota Dealership... and before I bought the car we both took one out to race down 309...

Well I know I'm a better driver, I have won plenty of races with him... but this time he won... he had the Auto, I had the 5spd...

He weighs 140lbs... I weighted 220lbs

Now I weigh 200... I have been trying to lose weight since I bought the car... And It's actually working!

:evil:

Good plan. Colin Chapman (founder of Lotus) said "Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere."

[Kaotic Lazagna]

wow, now those are the rims i'm going to get when i get the money.

[lostmind]

Now, how much difference does a couple lbs at the tires make? Compared to lightened pulleys/driveshaft etc?

Anyone got a good link for a newb maybe that'd explain it in detail? I've googled but only get bits n pieces.

http://victorylibrary.com/mopar/sprung-c.htm in another thread on the same page! Brilliant!

[lostmind]

Bah, that link isn't too informative either.

I run a set of the original Racing Harts in 17x7 +38. They weigh 12.8lbs each!

fully forged, color is called Winning Gold. I may consider selling them if anyone is interested, looking at some 13" wheels :biggrin:

looking at some 13" wheels :biggrin:

Hee! I talked to a guy at an auto-x with a nicely done older Scirocco a couple weeks ago. He had 13x8s with some Hoosier's (A3S something?) on there, OMG it stuck like a shadow :biggrin:
