Yay just got the first set of Konig Next 7x17 with Toyo P4's (215/40's) put on 2 days ago. The wheels are only 15.5 lbs and they ride MUCH better than the darn S-lites with those darn runflats!
better pics later

Can you guys keep posting in this thread? It's a great reference thread but many of the pics from early on are long gone. :smile:

Yeah! CENTERLINE RPM's! They are awesomely strong, 14.2 lbs. for 17"x7" and the 'Black Pearl" color is a great match to my dark silver!

That black with the black wheels is NICE!

Has anyone seen these? I know they're knock-offs, but they look nice, and are fairly cheap. What would be a good alternative to this look for that kind of money?

Pricy too! Geez. Like $300 per wheel from what I can find so far. I'm liking the S7 as well.

Sorry, somehow I missed your question...yes, they are CP8-Rs. They are a little pricy but I can't find another wheel cheaper or more expensive that are lighter...12.4 pounds

The wheels are FLIK Wasp 18 x 7.5 in anthracite. I made the center caps with OEM MINI wheel decals. I'm running H-Sports springs, RDR control arms, and Yokohama Parada 215/35-18.

>>i really like these wheels, car looks great too, for a lowly MC anyways

"Lowly"?

Totally uncalled for- if I wanted to start a flame war there are plenty of remarks one could offer up about the almighty "S" - But why bother with that?

To me they are just two versions of the same great car- some people prefer naturally aspirated engines- go figure. To each his own.

Thanks for the compliment on the wheels though

-S

I figured you were't serious- it was just an odd comment to make.

Sorry if I'm a little defensive - seems like the MC gets picked on a bit sometimes.

-No worries
