Konig - Zero

What's the skinny on the Konig - Zeros? Looking at the 17x7s on the Alta website & I must say they look pretty good. Thinking of upgrading my stock 17" crown spokes.

Anyone have any experience with the Zeros?

Konig-Zeros

Thanks -

Nice design. I'm not a fan of the time attack look (black with red piping) or the multi hole. But otherwise, a very clean looking wheel.

I'm a newb to wheel upgrades, what would be the issue with the multi hole layout? Is it structural?

I just think it's ugly. Haha.

I think it's usually done to make a wheel fit more fitments. Example, one wheel with 8 holes can fit 4x100 and 4x114.3. Saves money for the wheelmaker.

Ah, gotcha.

BTW, think of the red piping as a "Corellian Blood Stripe".

I also don't like the multi lug holes. On the flip side however, when you go to sell them you have a larger buying audience.
