Holy crap, all of a sudden the corolla needs new wheels!

Time to go drifting to grind off my brand new 14" Kumhos...

Does anybody see exactly HOW we go about getting these wheels at this price?
Maybe I'm missing it.

PS - Konigs website sucks. I'm not even sure if they have a 15" wheel in a Neon application.

$55 for for 15" wheels, wow!!
Time to see if they make a high offset 5-lug 15x7. (I bet they don't darnit!)

(UPDATE)
here is what I found out about 5-lug 15x7's that they make

Konig Trouble:
Part no. KT575114G
15x7 40mm offset
5-114.3 bolt pattern
GRAPHITE color
weight: 17lbs

Konig Holes:
Part no. KH575114G
15x7 40mm offset
5-114.3 bolt pattern
Graphite color
Weight: 22lbs

They are a bit too heavy for my liking, but for $55 still a good deal.

Too bad a 15" wheel won't help my H5 Civic HB, or I'd be all over this.

Sam, who would still love to have someone come out w/ a good 13" wheel (other than Panasport).

Yep, saw that one, but still not as good as $55 per wheel.

Once you login to the NASA site the ordering directions are visible. It says that at the top of the page, but it took me a while to see it...

If they made the Network or Helium in 5x114.3 15x7 I would be all over this, but the two wheels they do make in that size are crap IMO.

Even at $55 a pop, I'm not seeing anything worth getting my ITA car, much less anything that would hold up to the thrashing of track use. They all look like stunna bling wheels to me.

I thought I saw some 14*6 Rage wheels at Discount Tire in that sub-60 range. Hey, they aren't exactly all the rage but if you wanted new and ITA-able at that price point ...

I did the ebay thing for a few sets of 14x6s but never could find 14x7s. Since 15x7s are open to us now, might try there.

(there are actually a ton of these GT3s out there)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...43956

I don't know squat about these but 460.00 for a set seems high considering Ebay purchase at what you are doing. I don't think I paid much more than that for my TD 14x7s new.

I actually spoke to Konig about those wheels. I mounted some azenis on a set for my friends corolla, they are quite nice. Konig said they have no estimated release date for those as of now.

Geez, at least you got an answer. I tried talking to Konig and DTD about them, they both tried as hard as they could to NOT help me

Looks like no Konigs for me...

I got 2 sets of 15x6.5 Rota Slipstreams on ebay for about 700 bux, which wasn't a bad deal on a proven rim.

I picked up a set of Networks about 3 weeks ago. I'm using them for autox only but they are 15x7 38et and 13-13.5lbs measured on a shipping scale. I'm happy with them and I've hit some pretty large potholes driving to and from the alignment shop and haven't seen any adverse effects. Oh and if you want a set of the Rewinds talk to Brian at Goodwin Racing. He's in touch with Konig almost every day for the Miata crowd about these wheels. If anyone knows anything about when they will be in the country it will be him.

How big are the 4 ea. KONIG stickers you have to put on your car. They might be in 12" tall print.
