Default Need opinion on this Wheel

Need honest, straight forward opinion please.

My bro in law just bought KONIG UNKNOWNS for his 97 Chrysler Sebring last week. Well

unfortunately the car's transmission has DIED...second time!!!

He wants to sell his rims plus tires. I always thought KONIG was for little pocket rockets i.e CIVICS, RSX''s etc......They are 19"......I am thinking about them "maybe" for my 2GS and maybe (biting my lip) for my 3GS. I have not seen the rims in person. Tell me what you guys think.... be brutal if you want

I would save my money and get something that is going to fit better and look classier. These wheels are probably going to be very poor widths and offsets for you GS, giving them the "sunken" in look. Buy something that will fill out the fenders more, these will just look... cheap on the GS.

Konig is a manufacturer that makes low quality, knock off wheels. The best looking Konigs are the Imagines, which look like a crappy version of the Work Rezax. Those wheels look like an original design by Konig. They ought to stick with knocking off other manufacturer's designs...

Don't buy those, or any Konigs for that matter. Like sc400texas says, you won't find those in a good-fitting offset (most knock off wheel manufacturers have limited offset options), and it won't look good.

^ What they said...save your money and stick with the stocks for now, they look 10x better than the Konigs.

thanx peeps.

As always I can always count on CL for pointing me in the right direction

I was already leaning toward NOT getting the rims but now i am certain. I was just trying to help my bro in law out.

Thanks guys.
