I really like the look of those rims as well...in fact I've been looking at buying a set of Konig Tantrums which almost look identical.

So, my question is, are there any differences in price or quality between the Konig or the Motegi wheels? In my searches I've seen very little price differences (all about $137/wheel). Any reason to pick one manufacturer over the other?

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what's the best deal you can find on those rims?

Thanks for any info....

Is that $88 each american? Almost every performance shop in the toronto area have carried these rims for a few years now. A couple of summers ago it seemed like everybody had a set of them cause they were the biggest rims at the cheapest price. They were then and still are now available for like $90cdn each at most tire and performance shops.

I have 205/40/17 Bridgestone Potenzas 950RE tires on my rims, which appear to be the exact same rims you just got.

P.S. You might want to think twice before you go putting dropzone coilovers on you're car bud. There is a reason they are like 1/5 the price of GroundControl...and it's not just the name.
