Hmm, well I googled Konig GTR and they almost look like them but the Konig's have multiple bolt pattern's so I'm guessing this are a knock-off?

Considering it's a smaller wheel, they might not have made it with a multi-hole pattern.

Can't really say if they made knock off of a konig wheel.

I think your right, all the 15" I've seen do not have multi lugs. So are this pretty common rims? Does anyone have any info on them(year they were made, etc)?

I think Konig GTR = knock-off of R32 GTR and GTS wheels. So I'd think this style is pretty common.

No, not that I can see. I just stripped them down since the coating on them was shitty as hell and all I see are those stamps I posted.

I would have to guess that Konig went to multi-lug on the wheels to simplify product line and make it cheaper to produce the same volume. These are probably an earlier version of the Konig GTR that were not uni-lug.

Here are pictures of the Konig GTR with the 4-lug holes and those extra tiny holes in between, not the 8hole uni-lugs they make now.

Yeah I saw those pics when I googled Konig GTR, even if they are Konig I think they are dank regardless.


Oh BTW Opossum Jenkins it does say Japan on the inside on one of the spokes
