Default Konig Unknown Lovers - A rival.

Those of you that love the Unknown wheels... but didn't want them b/c "everyone has them" ... there may be another alternative that doesn't look EXACTLY like them, but a similar design:

http://www.hd-inc.com/06SPINOUTBK.htm



The Poison series from Hi Performance Designs - the Spinout. Don't mind the red and blue ones, but the gunmetal and black look pretty good.

(no, i'm not advertising for these guys, just saying... with everyone complaining about how so many people have the Unknowns... well... now there's something else)

Well the biggest difference is no polished lip. But there are some other subtle things too.

Heh... and that's why I posted them.

And sorry Munch... no 20s for tCs. But you already have your Unknowns anyways.

I'm kinda getting tired of people saying that everybody has the unknowns. News flash people. EVERYBODY HAS A TC!!! The reason why alotta people have Konig Unknowns is because they look good. Isn't that the same reason alotta people have tC's? If something is good, whether it be a wheel or a car, people are going to get them.

No matter what you get, somebody else is gonna get it (unless its just plain ugly). I've only seen like maybe 10 people on SL with the Unknowns. 10 outta however many thousand tC owners in the US. WOW! thats a pretty big percentage isn't it? Now I can go around sayin everybody has them. I might as well say that Volks are played out (because everybody and their mother's has them)

And there's the Blue Car factor.

Meaning, once you buy a Blue Car (or whatever color), you suddenly start seeing Blue Cars everywhere--it seems like everyone and their mother is buying one.

It's partially a psychological trip, just because you have something or like some thing, it seems to show up everywhere.

I thought the same thing about my iPod. I bought an iPod Nano, and suddenly EVERYONE seemed to have them. My classmates, people on the street, my neighbor.

You tend to notice things more if you have one.

thats my point exactly. No matter what you get, somebody else will get it too. If nobody else does, it probably means it ugly. Who cares if "everyone" has the Unknowns? It just means they have good taste.

Someone will always care. That's actually why I posted this. So those people that say "everyone has the unknowns" and won't buy them b/c of that - might consider these and stfu about the "everyone has the unknowns."

I definitely don't consider the Konig's "cheap" ... and I don't know who those people are, but they deserve a pimp slap for thinking such. They may not be $500/wheel, but that doesn't mean they're crap either.

I'd love a set of the Konig Crosshairs or the Freefall. But they're not "cheap" enough for me to afford them yet.
