Default New 15" Ultra Lightweight Wheels

Check out the "Greenlight" and the "Helium". What do you think? Which do you like? The Slate Mugen MF10 clone is nice. So are the Heliums. Neither are available yet. I e-mailed Konig and they said they would be in stores in March. I asked for the weights on both the Helium and Greenlight, but I was told they were still unavailable. Whats your opinions???

Haha, you Mugen- Spoon (err, spon as you put it!) *****! These wheels have style, even though they are a knock off of Mugen's MF8's... Which doesn't matter... Calm down...

Thanks for the pictures, what do they weight, I'm very curious.

niiiiice. hey. if its light wieght... and looks good for a good price, i dont see the problem. its like the dilemma with spoons and rotas. i'll have to see what kind of "light weight" they mean tho. i must say, the helium bronze are growing on me. looks sweet. if its light weight and strong. those are gonna be my next wheels for my solo II events.

The Helium ones seem alot like Volk CE28N's. The Heliums look nice but I'm sure they are Es Crap.

I agree with ToneyTigre I like the price depend on how "light" they are I might get them myself. The Helium bronze look just like Racing Hart CP8s

They look pretty nice. I like he Helium bronze...they look like the Racing Hart CP8's, which I like. They would be even better with a polished lip.

They are not a knock off of MF8's but a 4 bolt knock off of MF10's.

Still very funny. I just wished they came in 7" wide.

aaaaaaaaaaah you guys, quit guessing at what they look like...

THESE WHEELS ARE COSMETIC COPIES OF THE VOLK CE28N AND THE MUGEN MF10. PERIOD.

Sorry to be blunt, but sheeesh, you are throwing out names of wheels they are 'kind of like" but they are exact cosmetic copies. RIPOFFS. Except MF10's are only in 5 lug, but otherwise a direct ripoff.
Until they disclose the wiehgts who knows if they are a good value.
My Rota (konig) circuit8's are still shiny as new and withstood a lot of abuse in autox, track and daily driving all last year, so I am buying another set for my other car ('92 civic). And, I will buy the CE28N knockoffs if they are as cheap as the Rota C8 and as light... Otherwise I'll get another set of C8's and be happy.

As long as they are light, and nowhere near the astronomical prices of the "Spoons" or "Mugen", they are good in my book....it's all about what you really want...light weight and strong...style....sounds good...
