Konig "Imagines", I think. I like to call them "Poor Man's BBS LM". I say go for it, but photoshop them on your car before you commit. I know it helped me with my wheel choices.

All in all, I like them!

Email me a couple of pictures of your car. Profile's are best, but anything will do. I'll giveit a shot.

they are imagines. i looked at those for a while because i love the finish and thought it would look cool with a grey or pewter body. i change my mind though when i saw just how many ricers are running them. there are bunch around here with them. that is when i went porsche.

we dont have alot of ricers in Daytona Beach... there are some, but not a whole lot.

I hve not seen these rims anywhere in this area.

I think they are absolutely gorgeous!

Yes, excellent choice. The wheels I am getting are similar. Are you still inspired by that silver GL with Hockenheim's? I know I am...:silly:

The interior has been changed.
It has CF door panels & black leather racing seats
Looks really good. He has also added a full compliment of guages
It has 18" Porsche Twist wheels not too.

vujade, i haven't seen patrick on the boards lately. i didn't make it to the show, but my dad did and checked out patrick's car and talked with him a bit. he is sending me some pics from the show as well. i will send them in to be added if there any good ones. seems like patrick has made some nice upgrades. one being a 2.7l TIV.
:goodness:
my dad said there was quite a bit of c/f inside also. i already saw some pics on samba of the outside. no real changes there. no need to though. very sweet car. any other info you can share on it?

vujade

not quite sure about the seats..didnt really look at them too well, was distracted by the CF :)


Here is a photoshop of my car with these rims, thanks to NYBugman1972 (THanks)

Very cool. They look very much like my favorite wheel from Kerscher.

Are they made by the same company?
vujade

I found them for $1016 delievered to my door with 205/40/17 Kumho tires.

Yes they look alot like the kersher wheels.
I believe Konig is a german wheel? anyone know?
that may be why the similarity. (sp)?

I always liked MAS Italy Roger's http://www.maswheels.com/images/Roger300.jpg They're available in 18 thru 45 offsets and 17x7" thru 17x8.5, as well as 18"x7.5 thru 8.5

Just about the same applies to
http://www.maswheels.com/images/president300.jpg

www.maswheels.com to see the rest of their lineup.

I also like Rota Wheels. Very lightweight wheels. www.rotawheels.com Slipstream, Subzero, and Mantis are my personal favorites.

just be careful vujade. there are just a ton of aftermarket wheels that are substandard. the u.s. does not require certification like europe. they can put out just about anything they are willing to get sued for. i have heard many stories of bent rims from pot holes. i think konig has a good rep though.

I have heard bad things about TSW (The Soft Wheel). (Be carefull Trevor!)

However, if it helps any, I have heard good things about Rota, and nothing bad about Konig.
