The TPMS is pretty much the same on the Z, I am a huge nerd and checked it out. A tire pressure sensor is just that, it is not going to read the size of the wheel, its going to read the pressure of the tire. I have lots of friends with konig wheels and they dont have issues at all, been running them for a while too.

I mean I live in miami so Im sure my roads are a little better then some, but still the wheels arent bad, dont know why they have such a bad rep. Call these guys, wheelsdirectonline.com, theirs a guy named chris who has a 350z. A little bit of a talker, but knows his stuff. Thats where I got mine back in the day.

YOu know guys your car isnt that much more expensive then a genesis. The car is really not a bad car at all, and has lots of potential. So sorry to tell you, but if forged wheels cant be afforded, let the guy buy what he wants, b/c what hes looking at is not a bad company at all.

What are you talking about?

There is a huge difference between the 370z and the genesis.
I just don't understand why someone would want to put those rims on a car that deserves so much better. If anything your degrading the z by putting those things on.

So wait...if Konig isn't a "bad company at all", what the hell is?

Bottom-of-the-barrel crap like Konig is as low as you can go. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the factory Sport wheels. They look great, are aggressively-sized, forged and for chrissakes made by Rays. Swapping them out just for the sake of "having rims" is not only ghetto but the ultimate face-palm.

I'm not saying this car only deserves premier brands like HRE, Fikse, or Dymag...spending $8-10K for wheels/tires when it's all said and done is awesome if you can swing it, but it is a $35K Nissan after all. However, going with wheels catered to the broke, teenaged, entry-level "tuner" crowd is laughable.

How about a set of Volk, SSR, Advan, BBS, Gram Light, Work, or similar? If you can't afford comparable wheels to those names, why bother?

those rims are ugly... like really ugly

there are other options if forged rims cannot be bought.... let alone 3 pc rims...
go for others or used sets

get the sport package wheels in the private sale section.

nogoodname · 09-24-2009, 02:06 PM

degrading it by putting something that look like it was designed in the 70's

lemansz20 · 09-24-2009, 02:39 PM

Dude are you kidding? What do you think your driving?? You must have a ferrari emblem on your 370 I guess, b/c the genesis costs like 30k, and yours around 35k. Your car is a much better performance car yes, but when I had my 350, sorry to tell you, I knew what I was driving. I know what I paid for and thats final, I wasnt driving an m3 or cadi cts v, I was driving a nissan.

um yah, so you already answered your own argument.

like i said, konigs belong on genesis or civics or xB's... get the factory 19's in the private for sale section. much better deal.

Does price really have a lot to do with it, though? There are a ton of used E46 M3s around for under $23K, which is why they've become so attractive to 17 year-olds. Hell...there's an old, beat up looking NSX around here driven by a kid who works at Kragen which has similarly cheap, ugly wheels. I don't know if they are Konig, but all those low-end brands are the same to me...is it justified simply because he paid as much as a Civic for that car?

nogoodname · 09-24-2009, 02:47 PM

^^ not a good enough reason to put ugly mofo rims on the Z... or any car...lol

I wouldn't hesistate to put these on one of those 350z pieces of crap, it would have to be the interlagos fire color though. With burnt exhaust tips, burnt shift nob...I'd drive it.
