Thoughts and Fitment? or the second rim which is a konig afterburner. My Z is blue with flat black front and rear valence. I will attach a pick of a random blue z and a crappy paint comparison too.


Bolt Pattern : 5X114.3

Yes I will be. I have another interested buyer as well that had a wtb post up. I would still need to purchase and receive the new rims first before selling these.

The front offset in my opinion will look very aggressive and the rear wont be that aggressive or enough to match...
So if you want them to look similar for fitment i would run a 20mm spacer for that rear... If you get these.

Also i would make sure the weight of them isnt too bad. I know Konig are not known for lightweight wheels.

Just my thoughts hope that helps bro! Good luck!

Fronts will poke out (unless you have a camber kit and increase camber) and rears will be sunk in by a lot.

that's of course unless it's a typo and meant to be +22 on front's and +12 on rears..

I personally think the stock rays look better, I understand the wanting to make it your own though. I'm getting ready to have my rays powder coated matte black. My opinion is if you're going to swap your rims out make sure they're better than what you take off.

If you're going to change rims it would be better to upgrade, not downgrade just for the sake of change.
