Default Konig or Motoforge?

OK, I need help with a decision.

I have Konig 18” Imagine Wheels on my SC See below. Although they look Kick @$$ they are heavy.
I went a bought a brand new set of lightweight 17” Motoforge tuner wheels, spent $500 getting the powder-coat stripped and having them polished. Now I got them back and don’t know if I like them. I already bought Goodyear F1’s for them too. What way would you guys go? Looks like I am probably going to eBay them.

Konig definitely, the 18's will look way much better than 17's, if you wanted a liteweight rim you should of went with Rays GramLight wheels, Just saying

What do those look like? Better yet here's what I want:
Wheels that look similar to my Konig's
They need to be lightweight
Staggered would be nice
Nice wide lips
And they need to clear Supra TT brakes


Anyone know the perfect wheel that fits this?

Rays (Volk) builds the sf-winning, the GT-m, and the GT-U that all kinda fit what you are looking for... http://rayswheels.co.jp/indexe.html

or you can spend some real cash and get a set of I-forge, HRE or Fikse's

Yup get some forged rims. Hmm, Konigs look great. How heavy are they anyway? Wheel specs, offset etc? Just curious- I maybe interested if you sell them.

I don't think I'll ever vote against Konig, even though their wheels are consistently heavy and too narrow. They just look so damn cool.
