BEWARE of Konig Helium (Pic & Video) !!

[bigsky2]

I've read about this before, and I've seen the exact same photos.

Wheels are wear goods after all, so they will break no matter what. I'm not sure how these particular Konig Heliums cracked, and under what circumstances.

Repeated loads and unloads can create small cracks we cannot see, different levels of side loads depending on the vehicle, and other factors can contribute to cracks that end up like this. Most of the broken Konig stories are from people who used them for auto-x.

Konig has issued a statement before, stating that they will replace any broken or cracked wheel if it is found that they were damaged due to original defect.

I'm not terribly worried about this as horror stories usually stick out more than positive reviews when you are doing your research.
But again, I stress, wheels are WEAR GOODS. If they wanna break then they will!
