Got a free set 17" Konig Unknowns. What would you do?

Got these free off of a 2007 POS G5 coupe that just got traded in. Side swiped body damage blah blah. Does have GMPP intake/exhaust though, both new from 2007 so they are worn and no real way to put a stock on it for the exhaust, and the intake is a SAI model so its no worth to me over my K&N.



Does have Konig Unknowns 17" new shitty Nankang tires (good upgrade because i need tires now) all rims probably havent been cleaned in 6 months, and the front passanger wheels is curbed to all hell!


Anyways he traded the car in for a base V6 auto challenger...... and has stock wheels too. So i am going to see if i can make something of the curb rash and use them because of good tires.

But how do i make these wheels look good? Scratch that not good, but how do I make them look like im not every other home boy that just rolled out of Pep Boys, I think they are the most low priced played out rims out there. Im thinking leave the polished lip, make it shine and then plastidip all the spokes. Might look good.


Ill update tomorrow when im 100% sure im taking them.

Coincidence?

I can get these wheels free, but I think they are the most played out Town Fair Tire special wheels ever, is there something i can do (plastidip?) to make them look good/different?

i think im going to spray the spokes, the lip may look nice if i polish it but that whole 2 tone idea and especially the spokes extending out in the middle......eeek wouldnt catch me paying for these.

Konig makes some ugly wheels!

Couple of my buddys ones got a 95 3kGT all redone non turbo though, cammed with ported heads, and the other has a 2004 Honda S2000 both got Konig Hot Swap rims 17" YUCK!
