Stock steelies are around 16lbs.
Konig Feathers (15x6.5) are 11.9lbs.

Thanks Lil Abner for answering that one!
I was busy watching the Niners suck.

The bronze are great! I was all set on black, but hesitated when i saw the bronze, but glad I stuck with black. Tinted the windows yesterday, badges are back on and painted black (will post pictures once it stops raining for two minutes). They're great wheels, I love them.

Awesome! Am actual improvement in unsprung weight--all while still using stock rubber, while still being affordable and symmetrical!

BRB...saving for a bronze set of Konig Feathers...

Can't wait. I love pictures.

Is there a way I can circumvent the TPMS without hacking up my wiring harness? Can I install the TPMS's on these Konigs?

So you want something like these?

Yes, TPMS will fit and is simple to change over.

Where have you been all my life?! Yes! Light-looking, symmetrical, simple, elegant, sporty...and in a bronzed finish too?!

Thank you a thousand times!

Please tell me these just bolt and and use the stock rubber?

But NOT symmetrical! Have you read this thread, my friend?

Those are my friend's rims. I'm not sure which Axis rims those are, but after a little Google search, I think they're the Axis Maglite. I'm sure you can use the stock rubber on those (if your car came with 15's).

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-24-2012, 03:00 AM

Here are a couple more pics of my friend's LB

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-24-2012, 03:04 AM

Here's the problem, I can't find them new anywhere online now. I'm not sure if they are discontinued, but I'm sure if they are, Axis probably has a revised version of it for sale. lol

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-24-2012, 03:08 AM

Scratch that, I don't see any 4-spoke wheels in their line up. Best bet is either CL or find another 4-spoke wheel. How about the Rota Auto-X (in 15x6.5, 4x100, +40 offset)

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-24-2012, 03:11 AM

OOPS, my bad again, those Axis rims may also be the Racer X model.

33OH · 01-24-2012, 07:59 AM

Axis Maglites are discontinued but are pretty common to find used.

Also, Work Equip 01 or Work Equip 01 replica's are pretty similar.

If you ask Jeff @ Micro Image he can locate similar wheels for you and beat anyone else's advertised price.

33OH · 01-24-2012, 08:06 AM

Also, Rota Auto X are similar too, but a split 4 spoke.

The Maglites don't have a lip, the Racer X has a little lip on it. That's the main difference between the two.

CanIHazYarisHatch? · 01-24-2012, 11:59 AM

A lot of good choices here.

A shame those Axis rims were discontinued, they were perfect for me. I won't risk used rims on my car, however.

33OH · 01-24-2012, 12:17 PM

I'd recommend emailing a link to this thread to Jeff at Micro Image -- sales.microimage@gmail.com -- he knows his wheels and will help you find exactly what you are looking for. There may be a brand new version of a similar Axis-style wheel that he can get for you.

He was helping me look for wheels a little while back and was extremely helpful.

I will do just that, thanks!
