What kind of wheels are these?

These were on my '05 MCS when I bought them and I'm curious what kind they are.

I know they are 17" rims... but that's about it right now.

Any advice on tracking this down, other than taking them off, as I don't currently have the car and won't for a few days...

Now that... that looks like we may have a winner...

Even has the same cast marks near the valve stem!

Thank you sir! Now to gather some info on them. Feels like they need the adapters to fit the car better. Got a little bit of a shake above 90...

yeah... the center is a little different than mine.

Back on the search, unless they may be different years... that's a possibility.

They may be discontinued, silver Konig Feather, 17x7 or 17x7.5 about 45 offset.

Take a wheel off and see if any manufactorer's name is on the inside of the wheel hub. There are usually size markings like JJ17x7 or 17x7.5 42 to 45.


The current Konig Feather in Silver (only 8 spoke) has only 4x100 pattern, 17x7"


The current Konig Feather with multiple holes drilled in hub center is for 5 bolt pattern and only comes in gold but it looks like your wheel.


Here is a Silver Konig Feather in 5 bolt pattern, I don't think it is current.

I remember seeing a set of Enkei wheels similar to those...but that was a number of years ago and I couldn't tell you the model name.
