Konig Wheels

I found a set of 18" Konig Hotswaps that I think I'm going to order soon...any thoughts - pros or cons about them?

Dont get them I had them and wont buy them again! The inserts are held on with 3m tape. The screws that also hold them down easily strip out. Ever time you need to rotate your tires you have to redo the 3m tape, for what they are its not worth it to me!

Yeah its a real pain in the butt. There is 5 per wheel so 20 different inserts that you need to retape each time you rotate them!

There is nothing wrong with the rims its just all the bs you have to go through to rotate tires ever 6-10k miles!

I know you got the enkeis already but just wanted to point out that the 3m tape doesn't have to be replced. Yes you need them at first but after you remove them to rotate your tires you can keep em on and even tho they're not sticky anymore , it keeps the inserts on. The inserts fit in nice and snug. The 3m tape goes on the sides.

I've gotten alot of compliments here on how I redid mine with the red pinstripe
