I just ordered a 04 MCS and I am trying to find a set of 17s for when the spring comes (I won't be taking delivery until December or January.) I have always liked Konig...and I just saw these. What do you think? They will be fitted onto a Dark Silver with black top MCS. Thanks.

very sharp

That is what I was thinking. I am not sure how it would look an any other color combo, But I think the dark silver would go so nicely with the inside of the wheel...and the polished lip would differentiate the wheel from the fender/body. I can't wait for my car to get here already!

Hey, I agree those will look SWEET on a silver MINI. And you're right, that is the only color combo they would work on! Very cool wheels IMO.

I am actually very suprised at the amount of wheels that look good on the MINI. But, with the color combo I ordered, I think it will look the best.

I hope this isn't considered hi-jacking this thread but has any
one got experience of Konig wheels. I'm also interested in
them but I have never seen any and can only get them mail
order so I don't have a clue about their quality.

Not a hijack at all.

Back in the day, I used to be into VWs and many of the people I talked to or hungout with had Konigs. All of them never had a problem with the wheels. They were fairly light (not the lightest out) but were very very strong wheels. I live in northern NJ and during the winter there are some rather large potholes to deal with and none of them ever bent a rim. Also the finish on the rims never tarnished.

Now, this is going back some 10 years or so. I have not known anyone since that have had a set fitted to their car, but I would imagine that the quality has not degraded. I personally would buy them in a heartbeat, hence the reason for my original post.

I just did a really quick photoslop job of what the wheels would look like on the color combo and I have to say that I like even more than I thought I would. Time to save up the money before the MCS gets here.

Any wheels that can survive in America will find our roughest roads a breeze. Thanks for the
advice I can feel a set of Holes getting closer provided I don't melt the plastic on holiday in
Canada.
