O.K., anyway...Thinking about getting these Konig wheels. How do you all think they look with Torch Red? Looking at 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear with Nitto 555 255/45 and 285/40 respectively. Thx...

I think they look great. Are you getting them online or from a local dealer? I have been wanting to get a set of rims myself and have been looking at alot online but Id really prefer to see them in person. Anyone suggest a franchise or dealer with a store? Ive been to NAPA and a few other auro parts places and they dont have squat. Im in Maine so it is hard enough to buy anything other than lobster and farm animals ![Wink](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
P.S. Nice touch with the Mustang logo on the fender. Goes well with the car

I came really close to ordering those wheels. I had posted a pick awhile back of them and people seemed to like them. Luckily my first choice of the Ford Racing 18" Fanblades showed up on TireRack, so I got those instead. I say Go for it!

If I get them it will be through DiscountTireDirect.com. They also have the Nittos and will mount and balance them before shipping. But a bunch of on-line retailers carry Konig wheels.[/quote]
We have a few discount tires here locally. I will take a ride by and see what they have in the showroom. I forgot all about them. Thanks for the inof

Those look sweet. Before you order from Discount Tire, see if you can get them over here. They are made in Germany. The Recaro Tuning Weekend starts tomorrow at Hockenheim and I saw on the flyer that several vendors are going to be there. You may get a good price straight from the factory.

One of my Fanblades got damaged on a curb. A lady was driving right down the middle of the street and I moved over as much as I could until I freaking hit the curb.
Soooo, now I have my winter rims which is why I'm shopping for new wheels. Not bad, classy wheels year round.
