lol @ Rota knock-off wheel joke. Join the bandwagon and bash the brand even though they make a decent wheel. Also, FYI, I no longer have Rota wheels.

Back on topic, I didn't bash Konig. I stated the truth. They made a lightweight and inexpensive wheel at the expense of using a cheap metal. The Helium has both good and bad aspects about it. I'd get two sets if I were you though. One for daily and one for performance driving.

You are the one on the bashing wheels bandwagon.

I'm not bashing Konigs or Rotas. I have owned more than 2 sets of both brands. I bent one of the pair of Rotas on a 2 inch unmarked graded area on the road. I was doing 65+. Nothing is indestructable. My Rotas were great, I never had an issue with them. Konigs are not made of cheap metal no more than Rotas are.

I could say the same ignorant crap about your slipstreams. They were light, just as light as Heliums. They must be made of crappy metal then right????

Konigs are no better than Rotas. Rotas are fine. Konigs are fine. The all pass the same certification tests. Get over it. BTW there was a batch of 17 inch Rota Attacks for Subarus that broke about 5 years ago. Probably 20-30 people had spokes crack or rip the spokes out of the wheel. Shit happens, it is a mass produced part.
