ordered the konig feathers - Toyota Yaris Forums

tekmoe · 01-08-2007, 06:50 PM

bit the bullet and finally ordered some rims. i've been going back and forth on the konig heliums and the drag rims. drag has several different styles that i really like but i think 17 is overkill as well as the weight that comes with it. i started reading more about the heliums and discovered the feathers. they look really nice. i ordered the exact model in the picture below. can't wait to get them to go with my new trd springs and struts!!!

Great choice!

I think they should look even better than the heliums on the Yaris.

Post photos when you get them on.

Same rims I'll be buying once Uncle Sam pays up. Pics please!

bigsky2 · 01-08-2007, 07:33 PM

I look forward to seeing these as well.

yea I really like the feathers!

bigsky2 · 01-08-2007, 07:47 PM

Hey guys..

Taking a closer look at that picture, does it not look like the Konig Helium?

I thought the Konig Feathers came in a single 4 bolt application so that there would be only 4 lug holes?

Those look great.

yes, i noticed that too...the 15"'s have 4. i guess it doesn't really matter if it has all those lug holes...but i have to agree that 4 is definitely a cleaner look. i hope my 16"'s have 4 instead of 9.

i found a picture of another member here on the forum whose blue yaris hb has the 16" konig feathers in gold. unfortunately they do have 9 holes. ah well, the rims are still sick. :)

dngz · 01-08-2007, 09:49 PM

205/50/15 is about the same diameter as the stock tires.

wow, 40 is kind of a low profile isn't it? is the road noise pretty loud? i can't decide if i should go with 205/50 or 205/45? i'm leaning towards 205/45.
