Team Dynamics or Konig

alrite, im in sort of a debacle...

should i either get the Team dynamic pro race 1.2's
or
should i get the Konig Feather

both would be 17X7. The Konigs are lighter and cost slightly less, and are already direct TPMS compliant. The pro race 1.2s are being modified according to team dynamics and will be ready later on this month or early next year so they say.

Anyone have any reason why i should go with one over the other? Also, if you have pix of these wheels on your MINI, it would be awesome if you could post them here. Thanks!


btw, id either get the black or anthracite... i cant really tell the difference.

both are quality wheels. i ran konigs before the TDPR1's i have now.
konigs are sorta considered to be a cheaper wheel overall. price/quality/finish/offset options...

i personally find konigs to be just fine, i ran a few track events and more than 6 autox's on them with no dents or cracks. i had the heliums, they were often mistaken for volk ce28s but i didnt get them to pretend to be a better wheel. i got them because they fit my budget and looked good to me.

the tdpr1's i got... 3 autox's and im the second owner, no dents or cracks.

hmm thanks for the info... based on the price it looks like id go for the Konigs since i am on a budget and any savings is a big plus...

why did you end up going for the TDpr1's?


i wish they'd redo the PR1's to accept the direct TPMS but no luck... id be all over those for sure as i think they look better than the 1.2's.

switched when i damaged 2 of the konigs in an accident. i know that sounds contrary to my testimonial to them being sturdy but the accident was a serious curbing to the wheels. im not sure what rims would have survived my little incident with the curb.

and as far as the TDPR1's... a friend was selling them at the right time for the right price

My vote is black, I've had them on order for over 2 months now, the first ones that came in were only 12mm holes, the R56 needs the 14mm so make sure you specify that when ordering.
Here is a link to a yellow R56 with them: http://altaminiperformance.com/galleries/show/10

Also, FugitiveAI has them on his car, check his gallery
