Hi..Does anyone have the Konig imagines and what do you think of them and does anyone have any pictures on an MCS with them.......
Any and all comments about these wheels would be greatly appreciated..They look classier than the R90's, lighter and not so 'busy'..Anyone agree...CHEERS

 

flangi,

I just purchased a set of 17x7 Konig Imagine's yesterday which I'm picking up today. I will have them mounted next Wednesday and will post some pics after. I've been running the 17" wheels ever since I purchased the car and still have fairly new Yokohama's I wanted to re-use. I spoke with a MCS owner who had the 18" Imagine's but was concerned with his comments about ride and the fact that he had already bent one of the wheels when hitting a pothole. I found them on E-Bay for just over $500 for a new set. My MCS is lowered with H-Sport springs and the offset calculator showed no issues using the 40MM offset on the 17" Imagine.

Good Luck, Jason

 

flangi,

Are you looking at the 17" or 18" Konig Imagine?

17"....Appreciate your feedback..Are they not made as well as the R90's ?

 

Did they have anymore for $500..That's a good deal !!

 

flangi,

I think you will find a wide variety of quality among aftermarket wheels. BBS, who manufacturers the wheels for MINI, has always been at the top of their league. I don't think that paying hundreds less for wheels constitutes poor craftsmanship but I do believe there are some cheap wheel manufacturers out there. I think you will be pleased with the Konig Imagines. As far as R90 clones go this is probably your best bet. I also looked at the HP Racing EVO wheel but this required a stud conversion and I wanted to keep my options open for swapping winter/summer sets. I've included the website link to the company I purchased by wheels from so you can see if they will have any other Imagines available.

i think design wise, the Flik mesh wheels are close to the R90's

not sure if Flik wheels are powercoated or just spray enamel.
