Default Konig Lace & Michelon Pilots

So it's about that time to change out the rims and tires on my IS350 and I wanted to get everyone's opinion.

I was wondering what you guys thought about the Konig Lace


I currently have my car lowered about 1" total overall on Eibach springs and was thinking about getting the rims in 18's. 18x8 with a 45 offset and 35 offset for front and rears.

I'm getting these wrapped in Michelon Pilot Sports.

Overall, I'm getting the package for $1500 for the rims/tires/lugnuts and installation. Is this a good deal?

Overall my goal is to be able to rotate the tires so I won't be running a staggered setup. Is this a bad idea?

Thanks for your opinions!

I was thinking about getting them on my 250, but I was quoted $1200 with everything you listed... could just be locations though -- ended up not getting them (wasn't a huge fan after seeing them in person)

I don't like Konig, just an opinion.

Konig's are mediocre, but if you like them that's fine. If you want the same size wheel all around, I don't think that'll damage your car.

I'm actually pretty new with wheels and everything. Would there be another brand that has decent quality that you guys would prefer?

especially if you only get 18x8" which is what i did for my audi. the stock pics are pretty deceiving if you're going for the lip. once i got the wheels and realized that i'd just keep em for winter, i painted them silver which helps a lot, but not much
