so i'm thinking of buying rims i want to know what people think i want the hot swaps black with red inserts i have a vic red balt or should i go with the unknowns??? plus some guy wants to buy my rims and tires for 800 bucks so i'll have almost all the cash i need

 

hot swap

 

I would go with the unknowns but look around and youll find some better. EVERYONE has konigs. Dont get me wrong, they are nice rims its just they are not very original at all. just my 2 cents.

 

Neither....imo

 

if you're going to go with one of those two hot swaps ...

unknowns are ugly and way too over done... IMO you can find something nicer for cheaper though.. especially when you got 800

 

Lots have the unknowns and the hot swaps weigh toooooooooooo much (like 50lbs a pop before tires)

 

I'm not a personal fan of either, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the Unknowns. Yeah the Unknowns are played but, but they look better IMO and the Hot Swaps will end up being just as played out after they've been out longer.

I say shop around, but if you do get either of those wheels, that's still cool. Anythings better than rollin stock.

 

hot swap thats what i have and i'm waitning for my red inserts.Here is a pic

 

how about some american racing wheels?

fyi: my buddy had some konig toxins on his car. a very small pothole that most of us wouldn't even avoid claimed 2 of them. i dont think konigs are very strong.

 

no they dont, i just got mine and the shipping for two rims is 60lbs so they weight around 30 lbs apiece

 

what color hot swaps did you get and how much did they run ya

 

If you must go with the Konigs get Hotswaps. However i paid $800 for mine

 

money is not a problem and i've never been a fan of konigs but the hot swaps are sick at least i think so

 

the unknowns are so played out, and i think they're ugly as hell... the hot swaps aren't that bad... i still haven't found a rim that i would spend money on though, for the damn price of rims i don't see what the big deal is.

 

since u have seen unknowns and hotswaps on a cobalt id do some konig troubles on there and get them in black with chrome lip if possible

just for ***** and giggles see what these would look like on a balt

 

troubles are ugly

 

my pic is a couple of post up. but they are the gloss black with chrome inserts, but i have the red inserts on back order. I paid like 750 from discounttiredirect.com They had the best price on them and free shipping. And the red inserts cost me 120

 

i got the black hot swaps on my g5 with the red inserts and i love the look of it, i'll try to get some pics up in a couple days

 

konig, official rim of 9 out of 10 tuner cars!

 

neither at all cause eveybody already has the unknowns and the hotswaps will be next...

 

look at falkens.. i particularly like alot of what they have.. and not too many people have them well cept me of course

 

i'd go with neither of them. every other cobalt i see have konig wheels. not sure if you care about performance at all but konig wheels are heavy as ****.

 

Not all

 

that's true but those are not one of his choices. all but 3 models of their wheels are extremely heavy.

 

heres a pic of wat the hot swaps wit the red inserts look like photoshoped on my vic red cobalt
