Yah we were going to snag a set of the OZ Rally Lancer wheels until we decided to go with Konigs. Anything besides those replusive stockers...we are running 15x7 with 205/50/15s

Not the Konig Diva's I hope - I bought a set 2 months ago and have had nothing but problems. My replacement wheel should arrive tomorrow. (Should have arrived yesterday, actually)

What are the specs of your rims (Konigs _name_, offset, weight) and where did you buy them?
Thanks,
Arseny

The WEIGHT of my wheels? Sorry, don't know that,lol. They are the Septors with +40 offset.
-
wheel weights are a big factor in handling performance, every 1 lb. per wheel/tire affects acceleration as much as 7 lbs. on the car.
the trick is to get a better looking wheel that is lighter than the stock setup. many aftermarket wheels are heavier than the originals, thereby slowing the car down/affecting the car's handling.

This is what I'm trying to do, I'm trying to find 16" wheels which will be lighter than stock 15" (or even 14")
-
Most ever wheel i found that are lighten racing wheels are 14 or 15 inch. The wheels i have with tire are about 19 pounds per.
-
There is that fine balance between tire size and weight..
So what size are your wheels? 19lbs with tire is great I think..
I was hoping to find something like 16-18lbs just for rim (15 or 16").
-
tires typically weigh 17-22 lbs, as for light 16's, i secured a set of 16x7 rota circuit 8's in sports bronze - 15 lbs per wheel.
combined with the nitto neogen in 205/45-16, I'm looking at a 33 lb wheel/tire combo. That's good for a 16.

Where did you got those rims from?

Mine are 17x7 wheels. If you want big wheels look for ones that have the least amount of metal to make up the rim design.
