Questions about these wheels...

I'm leaning towards getting these wheels, but I was wondering if anyone has experience with Konig wheels or these in particular. I have an R56 with 17" Crown Spokes right now, but want to replace them. Here are my questions:

1. Do they work with the new TPMS?
2. Are the bolt holes the correct size?
3. Do they require hub centric rings?
4. How durable are Konig wheels?

Any help and some pics on a Mini would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You probably know that Alta sells these wheels. Adam (@Alta) has them on his R56, I believe, so he may be able to get you all the info you need.

I would suggest a PM to him, he is great on his replies and support of the questions on NAM.

Yeah I saw them on the Alta site. I will contact Adam. I was hoping to get some other opinions from people on here too. Thanks.

Yes, I posted the obvious. I went with Sportmax 16s for the winter wheels, read 'cheaper'. I like the style of the Pivat wheels, nice lip.
