WTB: 18x8 Konig Afterburners (black)
So I've been searching for these lately and found out they are now discontinued (figures, once I get my tax return back and ready to buy them that this happens). If I do manage to find them they are well over $300 a piece. Discounttiredirect.com use to have them, but of course since they are discontinued they said they won't be getting anymore in. If ANYONE knows of a place that has these (hopefully around the same price that DTD.com sold them for, $210) PLEASE let me know! I will also buy them used. I have become so obsessed with these wheels and must have them!! lol
Thanks
Thanks

Yes, but they are $240.95 a piece, which I don't mind paying, but when I email most sites that still have them listed to make sure they are available they usually say they are no longer in stock.
EDIT: $1,105.44 for a set of 18x8 (with shipping)... yikes, and that doesn't include tires. lol

Check there, you might find something worthwhile, haven't checked in a while. They're closing out some wheels and I thought I saw afterburners in there.

Yes but no 18x8 5x100. Figures. :? lol
EDIT: Could I get away with 18X7.5 5x114.3 ET45 or 19X8 5x114.3 ET30?? I only have TRD lowering springs, all other suspension is stock except my rear sway but that won't matter.

Hey Sheena..
This is Lorrie, I don't know if you remember me.
I was looking for those same rims and I contacted Konig and they said they have been discontinued for a while and you pretty much can't find them anywhere anymore.
I found some other rims called Ti that have the titanium lip. They of course have been discontinued as well but you can still find some sets on ebay for a decent price. I got a set of Ti17 directly from the company on ebay for $420 shipped. The only downfall is they are matte black not glossy. I am probably going to have them painted glossy.

If you want the 5 or 7 spoke you can probably get a set for around $700ish
Good luck!

You can only get them from Ti because they only have a few sets left, and they have them listed on ebay for $455 shipped but if you make an offer you might be able to get them for $420 like I did. They also had gun metal and bronze colors as well. If you have any questions, they were very friendly and would be happy to help you. I can give you their direct email and phone # if you are not comfortable buying on ebay.

I'm kinda liking these, and they seem glossy. The Ti7's aren't bad either but i would probably black-out the center cap to make them look better (YES I'm THAT picky lol) But they don't have the size I need listed, atleast on eBay. (And I'm an eBayaholic so I'll buy whatever from there lol)

Those are nice. I would have rather had Ti 5 or 7's but they are no longer in stock. The only ones the manufacture had were the Ti17's. IMO I wanted the Konigs too but I settled atleast to have these then nothing at all.

Ok so the Ti7's do not come any bigger than 17" (and I must have 18" lol). The only Ti5's that come in 5x100 only come in 18x8.5 with a 50mm offset! Will that even fit? I'm lowered on TRD springs and that will prob rub like crazy I would think.
