i personally like them just for the fact that you can change it up when you want, I'll probably get the black background ones this summer unless I find some other nice ones, by the way, how much were these? I couldn't find prices anywhere

The one thing that worries me about those inserts it that I think they will be prone to coming loose and falling off. There are a lot of vibrations in a wheel and those look like they are only held on by one small bolt. Make sure you check them lots to keep them tight!

unless they have connections w/ konig i call bs, no offence,.... plus they dont come n whte

as far as peoplke steeling them i agree... if konig was smart they will need a key or something to take it off... these would be my show rims, only driven on to shows and meets and it would allow me to fix my FF7's


just got off the phone.... other than if u have connections, they will not be avalable for another month and a half

Bio, I apologize the rims I was talking about were not the same.They are similar in style
and I was talking about the colors of the "interchangable spokes" not the rim color.
Sorry if I sounded negative in my comments toward the wheels.

not really a fan of showy wheels. I'm looking at either get some 17"x8" Motegi Trak-Lites in flat black or some Rota subzero's or Torque's in white, in 18"x8".....but for now I love my stockers.
