Default Konig Monsoons- Are these a replica?

I was wondering if the konig monsoons are a knockoff wheel of some sort. I got a set for free today. (buddy totalled his delsol) and i am thinking about putting them on my EK, but refinishing them first. Anyone have any pics with this wheel on their car? I have seen this wheel a million times but dont know what it it will look good or not

i am going to re polish the lip, not use the centercap. and powdercoat the inner wheel either bronze or something crazy. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

Volk knockoffs.

AV3's. Seems like every show car in the late 90's had these for a period.

Looks weird in 15"-16" form. The design only looks good on a bigger rim. Some guy here used to have some 17" AV3s on his Si coupe and that **** looked hard.

they'd look fake w/ a broze 'inner' and silver lip...

does bronze = jdm or something!?!? maybe i missed the memo. /rant

i used to love the konig monsoons when i had my first car. didnt find out they were Volk AV3s until some years later. hehe.
