Yeah, the Minuz are like them. They have the parallel spokes you like but are in all black.

Daylites finally came in and got them mounted yesterday. Will try to get pics of them tonight. The yellow stripe is smaller than in the pics from Konig, and is a dead on match for the Mellow Yellow paint.

 

Looking forward to the show-n-tell.

What size wheels did you get?

 

i have a set daylites on the way. black and yeller.

 

i had konig k's on my old gti they where good and durable

 

I've lusted after some Konig Rewinds for years now. Some day!!!

 

Ditto

 

get those pics up corn holer

 

Here they are 17" Daylite in the Black w/Yellow









And yes I know it has wheel well gap, I will be taking care of that shortly.

 

Wow... the yellow doesn't appear to be exactly the same, but you're right in that the line is a lot thinner than it looks on König's site. The yellows compliment really well. I like 'em!



I actually have a JustaCooper, but these come in 15"s, too, so I wouldn't have to worry about knowing absolutely nothing about changing wheels on a car. Lol. Did you get them locally, or did you order them?

 

i cant see the pics there not showing on my puter . can some one help get them up some how?

 

I ordered them from Discount tire. took about 11 weeks to get here. The yellow on the car of the closeup is bad. too much sunlight. We put the rim right up to the car before mounting tires and the yellow is extremely close. Main thing is it doesn't clash. I was worried it was going to be some bright lemon color.

 

If you are on a computer that blocks websites like myspace you probably can't see them because that's where they are linked from.

I can't see certain pics on here while I'm at work.

 

Discount Tire... check. *jots down on wish list* :lol

I know my neighbor two doors down works at a tire/wheel shop. Hell, he's got big fancy rims on every one of his vehicles, including the trailer he pulls his boat on. I should see where he works/what kind of discounts he gets.

 

Im actually looking into Konigs myself! I can't decide between Unknowns and Furthers. Im probably going to have them powder coated either way...

 

sweet, just the rims i'm searching for. can you post a pic of them? also the weight on them too if you know? i'm running konig heliums in 205/45/16 and they do just fine on the street. good durable not-so-expensive rims. i have the bronze and there was a point that brake fluid was leaking out and the paint was still good and staying on.

 

I've got a set of Konig Zeros getting ready to go on my CR Clubman. They are great looking wheels. Problem is Konig forgot to ship me a set of lug bolts with them. Caution: At least with the Konig Zero's, the factory lug bolts DO NOT FIT. Others in the wheels forum have also mentioned some fit problems with Konigs. Some of had to drill the holes out or ship them back.

I bought them through Alta Mini and they are currently trying to get me a set sent ovenight. My dealer tried to put them on at delivery and had them mounted and balanced with the stock tires before they noticed... So my car sits waiting for shoe laces. I'll let you know how they look when I pick her up.

Tuner lug bolts are very hard to find for our cars. They use a rare 14/1.25 pitch. You'll need to confirm fit before you order or mount them.

if anyone has pics of the konig runaway in black on a mini could you post them please

 

That is a sweet looking ride you got there.

 

I just used a stud kit with tuner lugs to put my Zeros on

 

What size are your Konig's and Goodyears? I had the Eagle F1s and loved them on my Audi TT and would like to switch to them after the Dunlops run through. My Konig wheels are 17x7s and the stock tire size is 205/45/17. I didn't think the F1s were available in that size. Do the 215s fit?

Jon W.

 

I have the new F1 allseasons with the carbonfiber sidewalls in the stock size. the konigs that I have are 17x7. I believe the 215s do also fit.

 

Thanks for posting this information I was not aware of this.

 

You can also get a set of conversion studs from Texas Speedwerks that are 14x1.25 where they thread into the hub, and then neck down to 12x1.5 so you can use a wider variety of wheels. The studs are more expensive than having the wheels drilled, but you only have to buy them once, whereas you might end up spending more money if you have several sets of aftermarket wheels drilled.

I also like the TSW conversion studs because they make it a lot quicker/easier to swap between my autocross wheels and street wheels. Rather than having to hold the wheel in place on the hub while you align the holes in the wheel with the holes in the hub, you just slide the wheel onto the studs and everything lines right up.

 

Very true. I found this out when the Konig Furthers I ordered were not able to be mounted. I got them from http://www.discounttire.com/. They have actual locations called American Tire and that is where I had them installed. Anyway, the day the wheels came in it was discovered that my 2008 Cooper S lug bolt size was different. Long story short, they really worked to find a solution (including calling the local MINI dealershhip) to get me some lug bolts. They ended up ordering some spline lug bolts in 14/1.25 and a few days later they came in. They fit perfectly.

Here are some pics I took with my phone. More later...
