Default EM1 With Konig Spooled Wheels *Volks Copy Cats*

Hey everyone. I just got these new Konig wheels (that look like Volks but cost way less) put on my car and figured I would share.

15x7 +36 12.1 lbs
205/50R15









What do you guys think?

This is a technical forum, you might want to try the appearance forum instead.

My bad about the forum, I have seen other threads similar to this in this forum so I figured it was okay. If someone could move this to the proper place that would be appreciated.

From a technical stand point they have "forged" printed on them but I don't think that they are.

Thanks! The grille is stock with the H emblem removed and an Si emblem from an EP3 hatch that I glued on.

Civic's 96-00 have pretty much the same fenders/quarter panels so they should fit no problem.

thanks man, that is a georgous Si though. i have always wanted one, but we just had a baby 7 months ago. had to go for something a little more practical.

so you are not having any problems with anything rubbing when you turn the wheel?

No rubbing and that's with Ground Control top hats which allow the wheels to travel another 1.25 inches into the fenders.

i have to get mine rolling, i need to get the rack and pinion, exhaust manifold, and the upper control arms fixed. it feels like the front end is going to fall out if i hit a pothole. I am probably going to run an ebay setup until i get some money saved up for some coilovers. i ran the ebay adjustables on my 95 coupe without a problem, hope they run that great on my 98 sedan.

it is just a daily driver...forgot to mention that!

Sadly, no they're not forged. They're definitely cast.

Main stuff
Shocks - Bilstein Sport/Bilstein HD (custom tuned)
Springs - Ground Control 400/600 lbs/in

I inspected the back side of the spokes and concluded they're cast judging by the tooling marks. I would be worried if they were forged for $105 but seriously, 12.1 pounds is pretty darn good for a cast wheel though I am going to have to check for cracking.

Well man I don't have tons of money and the way I feel about wheels is this

1. Price: $100-130 *Check
2. Size: 15x7 +38-32 *Check
3. Looks: Pretty darn good in my opinion *Check
4. Weight: 12.1 lbs *Bonus

So these wheels fit the bill but I also made sure to specify that they are "fakes" in the title so as not to mislead people which is probably the reason no one has busted my ***** about it until now.

I hate replica wheels, but those are pulled of very well.
Simple, clean, and has stock centercaps huh?

The center caps they come with are these ugly cheap looking flat black caps. Stock EM1 (and all 4x100 center caps I tried don't fit) but most 5x114 center caps fit with a good push (not great but they fit).
