Default 13 or 14x8 wheels from KONIG help

Does anybody on this board know anything about these wheels other than what is stated on their website catalog? I simply want to know if this will on a Honda Civic. I emailed them twice and waited a week but with no answers yet.

Damn, that sucks. Any other alternatives other than the Panasports? The wheels will be used for autox and at the track so the VPD's are out.

The nice lady at the konig dealer informed me today that "Honda enthusiasts are generally not interested in anything smaller than a 15" wheel, so there are currently no plans to offer this in a 4x100 high offset fitment."

Great.

Contact Bill Baker Motorsports Director for BBS @ 770 967-9574. They will build you any kind of wheel you want.

What about cost on those BBSs?

Cost is a factor. If it wasn't I'd have already ordered Volks.

No they don't give them away but if you have fitment requirements you pay what is asked, too get the parts you want.

Wonder how safe it would be to redrill those to 4x100? Looks like there might be enough material.

so the VPD's are out.
I was about to order the "tom slicks" from a group buy but i was told by the groupbuy organizer that they are not meant to be used other than drag racing and Solo 2. I'd imagine they will take a beating on a road course, hitting bumps or curbs at 3 digit speeds. I dont feel safe thinking that the wheels might be flexing.

Not a great idea for the type of loads a road race car sees, IMO.

Or you could run billet spacer/adapters.
The 13" lenso's probably arent that bad - IM Geretol, he's been using them for autocross pretty well.

I use the VPDs for autocorssing but I wouldn't be so eager to use them on a road course. I have heard of people using them at track days but I have never seen it myself, nor do I feel like trying it.

Actually, I use what I can get cheap, and then bitch about it...

I looked at those Konigs about 5 months ago, made the phone call, and I think I was almost screaming at them for being stupid by the end of the call. Oh well.
