Konig Feather...

Is anyone using Konig Feather 17" on a daily driver? Or are they strictly for track use?

There are more pics in my gallery. They kind of suck (the pics), but they give you a good idea of the Feathers. I am running the 17" Feathers with 205/45 Kumho tires. The handling is 1million times better than the stock wheels and RFs.

I'm so ready to pull the trigger on konig feathers. I got a quote today for $737.80 out the door cost, which includes new 16" konig feathers and installation (moving my runflats and TPMS from my current rims to the feathers). Does that sound about right?

That sounds like a good deal to me... I got my wheels from Alta for $132 per wheel minus a 10% discount. I will just get the tires locally so they can swap out the TPMS modules from my run flats....
I'm hoping it'll be next week.... hoping... hoping.....

Did anyone buy these from discount tire direct? I want to get a set of 17s for my R56 but am hesitant because ive heard the lug holes are sometimes 12mm and not the 14 needed for the R56.

Those wheels are dirt cheap and definitely better quality than some of the Rotas out there...
