Default to good to be true? 17x7 14.2lbs $145each

ive been looking for lighter rims then stock for when i go to the track this year and i came across these. they are only 7" wide (was looking for 7.5"-8") but they are very light

Konig Daylite
17" x 7"
40mm offset
14.2lbs





does anyone know anything about these?
would the lower weight of these rims out weigh the fact that they are only 7" wide?

No it isn't too good to be true. They are Konigs. You get what you pay for.

$310 is a far cry from $150.


I would say just get the konigs but if your tracking them you ARE going to need something stronger and unfortunately you can't trust a cheap wheel when your hard on them.

Heres what I would get if I was you. Cheaper than the OZ's, and just as reliable. Though probably about a pound heavier a piece.

The RPF1's look much better than stock in person. Same basic design, MUCH better overall appeal.

They are good looking in person, and, along with the NT03+M, are very popular with the track-day crowd.
