Konig "BRITE-LITE", 16x7, 40mm Alloy Wheels Reviewed by: Jack PhillipsĪpplicable to: '90 - '97 '99-'05 1.6 liter 1.8 liter There was a question in my mind about the other wheels, but none Through the wheels should not have been an issue, but I do not regret getting Surprise since they were less than the others I considered. Since "Junior" was down with a bent wheel until these came. Ordered the wheels with 205/50x15 Toyo Proxes 4 mountedĪnd balanced, hubcentric rings and narrow lugs. Through the wheel, then I saw the Heliums on cars at Goodwin's site and thought, Was looking at Enkei and Kosei wheels but unsure of the look and open space Wheels, so get your brakes and rotors looking nice. Look nice, relatively lightweight, nice finish. Don't worry, the FWD rims look great on the Miata. The RWD are extreme offsets and very deep dished, but don't apply. The Miata takes the FWD spokes (confusing, huh). To avoid some confusion that I discovered on web sites, Konig lists Rewinds for FWD and RWD. It seems the Konig Rewinds were made for the Miata's classic looks. I was worried about whether the polished lip would be deep enough, but it's perfect, and accents the silver spokes beautifully. The casting is very clean and the silver paint is deep and flawless. I'm very pleased with the look of these wheels.much better in person than images on the web. I selected the Konigs based on a great deal that I got. All have a similar 8 spoke appearance, and even though I loved the look of the Rotas, the Konig and Chaparrals seemed to be higher rated. I had narrowed it down to Chaparrals, Rota RBs or the Rewinds. I was looking for a classic style wheel that offered a polished lip.

If a wheel safely has the ability to flex more before ever reaching a breaking point that will increase reliability and longevity of a wheel. So let’s get back to the benefit that we started talking about earlier. Severe impact and the stress impacts over time can push the metal to a breaking point. However, any wheel, regardless of whether it’s an aftermarket wheel or the original factory wheel, has a breaking point. Konig places every wheel design through a very strict testing standard and build each design to load ratings which are in excess of what is needed for that design’s target vehicles. We only build wheels to the highest quality. While that may be a humorous line its incredibly true. So you might be asking why would it be more beneficial that a Flow Formed Wheel can flex more before it could ever reach that point? Well, its important when we talk about wheels that everyone should acknowledge that wheels are metal not magic. One wheel was a conventional cast constructed wheel and the other is developed using Flow Forming Technology.Įlongation is essentially the amount of flex that an object can have before it would reach a breaking point. These are based off of wheels similar in styling, size, width and other specification. The numbers used are approximate and only for general comparison. Below are some visual charts for you to see the drastic benefits as it relates to elongation and tensile strength vs a regular cast wheel. Konig has been producing Flow Formed wheels since 2010 and is always improving on the process and efficiency to improve the end product. Interested in seeing more Flow Formed Wheels?
