Is anyone running the Konig Runaway wheel on their tC? I found a set locally that I might buy, and i was just wondering if anyone has them on their tC and had pics of them? The ones I am looking at are shadow black.

Blktc had them for a minute on his car, he was epically slammed on them. I think he has pictures in his pic thread.

not trying to hate because i like them too and my friend has them on his eclipse but they are you cant give credit to konig since they got the design from Volk.

I dont need the "brand name" style wheels. I just look for something that is decent looking that isn't gonna rip me a new buthole.

46 offset??? thats a little too sunken in for me but they do look good!!!

i dont know why ppl always hate on the ones who get konig or rota wheels... they want the look of those expensive wheels like volk or work but cant afford them so they go with these instead... i can understand if they say that they are the "name brand" wheels when everyone says there not but if they dont, then why hate???? people have to understand that not everyone has money like those who got the "name brand" wheels, some of us do got a family to support, bills on top of bills and other debts to take care of that are MORE INPORTANT than those name brand wheels... *SIGH* this argument will never stop....

there is no reason to preach about this argument, it will go on because people have their opinions.

he likes the rims and that is cool. Nebster happens to HATE brands like konig, rota and will express that where ever possible. lol

THEN WHY ARE YOU EVEN MODIFYING YOUR CAR. IF YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY THEN WHY DO YOU HAVE A SCION OR A CAR OR WASTING MONEY ON MODS.

the money argument is completely bogus. If you don't have money don't spend the money on parts. If you want to put parts on your car you should save up and get quality parts. Quality > quantity.

Stop trying to justify whatever you think.

Honestly man who freakin cares? It's not your car and not your concern.

Kanchi
01-01-2010, 07:25 PM
^^good point, if you have bills and debt you shouldn't be spending more on frivolous items like car upgrades.

Quality>Quantity for sure as well. If you are only daily driving, not aggressive at it, and don't regularly hit potholes go for it. If any of those do not apply to you, save up and get a higher quality wheel, its for your safety!

OP I like the contrast, be careful out there!

I got the wheels mainly for the tires to be honest, I got them used dirt cheap. I just happen to like the style and color on my car, but $800 per wheel for the VOLKS for daily driving is just slightly insane to me.

But not gonna lie I know they're very cheap, I mean the paint and clear is flaking off of them in places and chips really easily.

Yeah they might be weaker than other wheels, but still look at the barrel of the wheel and you can see the impact that it took for whatever it hit. But if someone wants the cheaper wheels then so be it, if you want to go buy the name brand wheels then by all means go buy them.

And just for the sake of relevance, I like the look of the runaways, I've seen them on a couple of TSX's and think they would look good on the tc.

I have been reading these forums for ages; never really decided to post much. I must say though every time I see nebster post something I typically want to wanye brady him.

What made me laugh my ___ off was in this thread where he calls people disrespectful for dissing something he bought. I mean you are a joke man; for being such an egotistical prick it is just so much fun to see an entire thread of people calling out how completely full of ____ you really are. You're a joke bro and you need to stop dissing other peoples ____ in every single thread. You tell people if they can't afford ____ not to buy it and now you are crying in another thread about how you can't afford things you bought and need to sell it off. You are a total prick and you really need to shut up.

Sorry for going off the OP topic but at the same time it is ridiculous how much neb runs his mouth and makes an ___ and everyone just humors it. I've seen haters but come on.

People typically buy wheels for looks. If you tell me that the rims I like are 4000$ but that there are almost exact replicas for 800$ guess which ones I am buying? You can sit on forums and act all high and mighty about how you paid more for the 'real things' even though they both look the same on the car and both add style to the car but honestly if your a name brand whore why were you driving a scion in the first place?

I think Konigs look nice, I also like a few Rotas, and quiet a few other knock off rims.

I'll also rock a pair of racelands for the drop, you can hate on that too. In the end I'll rock racelands for 200$ you'll rock some other coils for 1000$ and both of us will probably need one replacement in a year or two. Names go so far. We both know that the price it takes to make both rims are nearly identical and you pay for the name.

Those shoes your running around in that you paid 200$ for cost $0.10 to make, you buy the name tag and they will be beat up in 2 years. Same ____ goes for your car.

Kanchi
01-07-2010, 03:47 AM
I disagree with that. Now I am not knocking racelands but i can do a heck of a lot more with my SS-Ps than the racelands are capable of, so to me its is worth the extra money to have camber adjustment, dampening adjustment, top mounts, stronger perches, edfc compatability, and the ability to have them re-built.

And yes Neb can come across as a jerk sometimes but he means well, and dosen't want to see people end up with something that could potentially be unsafe, or fail. Now that is not saying that all products don't fail eventually but I'd rather spend more on something and have it last until its due to be replaced or I'm bored with it and not have it be toast or broken before it should be due to being inferiorly made. Do a quick search about bent/broken rims 99% will be knock off brands. Again he's not being rude just to be rude, we have all just seen it happen too often, and don't want to see it happen again. /threadjack rant

OP the rims look nice, sounds like you got a good hook up can't wait to see the pics when you get them re-finnished!!!!
