BEWARE of Konig Helium (Pic & Video) !!
I don't want to start a debate, but I just want to warn your seriously about the Konig Helium wheels. Even if you don't drive you car heavily or do race, the Konig Helium are VERRRRRY easy to broke even with no "low-profile" tires. They may be VERY dangerous! I've always loved these wheels, but this is before watching that video and looking at this picture!
The main problem of the Konig Helium is the material used to build the wheel. Because they want to do a very cheap priced and very light weight wheels, they don't use light high-quality alloys because it's too much expensive. They just design a wheels with a very thin design and use some LOW DENSITY alloys who it light, but break as easy as glass! Here's the picture to begin, let's notice this is not a low-profile tire... : ![]() Here's the video : http://photoshow.comcast.net/watch/A...12ca2f41436652 Unfortunately, there's PLENTY of horror story about the Konig Helium all over the web...
