Yup, a very nice two piece design. I bought a set over two years ago and have yet to use them. Nice to know I have them when I do get some new wheels.

I still haven't done anything about lugs. I can get by with my current lug bolts for a while. Heck, I haven't even unpacked the wheels, other than a quick inspection and test fitting one on the car. Kinda sad, when you consider that I have a set of RT615's in another room, just waiting for wheels..... And a set of RA1's, and A6's (225/45-15).
I guess I'm one of the rare few who have two sets of 15x7 wheels for this oddball bolt pattern. Nice "problem" to have.

I ordered my Konigs last week and they shipped out. So no backorder as far as I can tell. Thanks for the heads up on the special BTW. Ive been looking for some 15x7's and these are classic wheels for our cars.

NP. I got mine 6 days after ordering. I checked Konig's website, and they had both colors in Cali, and 40 more Graphite on order.
Which finish did you order?

Just a heads up guys, Discount tire has extended the $50 off on 4 wheels thru the end of June. This was originally set to expire at the end of April, then was extended till the end of May, and now thru June.
They also show to have the Graphite rewinds in stock at one of their warehouses. The Silver are still listed as special order.
$346 shipped is a darned good deal on new wheels.
Lets keep the sales high enough to prevent Konig from dropping them form the line up.

Yes they do.

I guess all the complaints people have voiced about the lack of new 4x110 wheels was just idle bitching.

I jumped at this chance. Maybe others dont have coin to spend? I dunno, but they'll be sorry later.

I just didn't care for the look of the rewinds or I definitely would have gone the direct bolt on route. I put on a set of Acura TL wheels with some wheel adapters and couldn't be happier.

Dude! These have sold out. *Twice* Konig is making a killing and realizing just how big the market demand is.

Sold out twice. Huh. Well, glad I placed my order early enough to get them. No doubt, I did place the order *before* I posted anything about the deal....

I haven't yet installed the wheels, but they do have some RT615's on them, and will see action this weekend. After this weekend, they will once again be sitting my bedroom, waiting for next month's divisional event. Between events, I'll stick with my 15x7 Ronals and Kumho SPT's for daily driving.

The $50 off is still in effect.
I ran these wheels with RT615's for the divisional autox last weekend. Here's a pic from the event.

Car looks great with those wheels. Reapint the trim around your windshield and the car will look fantastic in pictures.

Thanks.
Actually, I need to repaint the whole car. It was apparently painted by the lowest bidder. It looked good when I got it, but time hasn't been kind to it.
It's probably going to get a full refinish soon, as well as a 13B transplant.
I still prefer the Ronal's over the Konig's. Perhaps it's just because the Ronal's have been on the car since I bought it over 4 years ago, and they just seem to be natural to me.
Seriously, I think it's due to the black centers going better with the red, than the dark gray. Then again, ~25 years ago, I prefered the look of old school mags over the Crager SS wheels that were all the rage at the time. I guess I just like to show my individuality......
The Konig Rewinds work great, and would be a welcome addition to most cars sporting the stock wheels, but I just bought these for autox wheels.
