Mitsubishi’s BEST ENGINE ever? Let’s talk about the 4G63

Posted on by Konig Gfx

The Mitsubishi 4G63 isn’t just one of the greatest engines Mitsubishi ever built — it might be the greatest 4-cylinder engine of all time. In this episode of KONIG’s Engine Anatomy, we break down the legendary turbocharged powerhouse that helped define an entire generation of performance cars.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The history and evolution of the 4G63
  • Why the engine became such a tuning icon
  • The engineering that made it so durable and powerful
  • Common weak points and limitations
  • Its rally heritage and WRC dominance
  • Why enthusiasts still respect the 4G63 today

Whether you’re an Evo fan, DSM enthusiast, rally fan, or just love legendary engines, this is one Engine Anatomy episode you don’t want to miss.

  • What a staggered setup is
  • The pros and cons of each
  • Which cars benefit from staggered wheels
  • Why some enthusiasts prefer squared setups
  • Tire rotation & maintenance considerations

The truth about WHEEL FINISHES: Don’t make a mistake you’ll regret later

Posted on by Konig Gfx

Before you buy your next set of wheels, make sure you aren’t making a mistake you might regret later. Depending on your usage, location, and personal taste, there are a few things that you need to know about Wheel Finishes.

In this episode of Behind the Wheel, we’re breaking down the real differences between Machined, Painted, and Powder Coated wheel finishes. Picking the right style is easy, but picking the wrong finish can mean chipped paint, ruined surfaces, and wasted money down the road.

What we cover:

  • The Big Three: The actual engineering differences between machined, painted, and powder-coated setups.
  • Durability: Which finish holds up best against brake dust, road debris, and daily driving?
  • Cost vs. Value: Is it worth paying a premium for a specific finish?
  • Maintenance: How to clean and protect each type to keep them looking fresh.
  • Don’t drop hard-earned cash on a new mod until you know exactly what you’re getting.

DO THIS if you want Concave Wheels on your car

Posted on by Konig Gfx

If concave looks so awesome… then why doesn’t EVERY car run them?

Deep concave wheels look incredible, but getting that aggressive look to actually fit your car takes more than just ordering the widest wheel possible. In this episode from KONIG Wheels, we break down the real factors that determine whether a concave wheel setup will work on your build.

From brake clearance and spoke design to wheel width, offset, and overall sizing, we explain why some cars can run ultra-concave wheels while others simply can’t. We also cover how wheel manufacturers design spokes around brake packages, and why choosing the wrong wheel specs can create fitment issues long before the wheel ever goes on the car.

Whether you’re building a street car, track car, or show car, understanding wheel concavity is essential before buying your next setup.

Topics Covered:

  • What makes a wheel “concave”
  • Brake clearance explained
  • Why spoke shape matters
  • Wheel width & offset considerations
  • Proper wheel sizing for your car
  • Common fitment mistakes enthusiasts make
  • Why aggressive fitment isn’t always possible

Honda S2000 vs. Mazda Miata: The Ultimate Driver’s Cars? | SHOWDOWN

Posted on by Konig Gfx

S2000 vs Miata — two of the most iconic driver’s cars ever made… but which one actually deserves the crown?

Welcome to SHOWDOWN, the series where we put legendary cars head-to-head and break down what REALLY matters to enthusiasts.

In this episode, we compare the Honda S2000 (AP1/AP2) and the Mazda Miata (NA/NB/ND) across the categories that define a true driver’s car:

  • Performance ⚡
  • Handling & steering feel 🏎️
  • Mod potential 🔧
  • Reliability & ownership 🛠️
  • Overall driving experience 🎯

The S2000 is known for its high-revving VTEC engine, razor-sharp chassis, and raw, analog feel.

The Miata? Lightweight, perfectly balanced, and arguably the purest expression of “slow car fast” ever made.

So… which one wins? Is the S2000 the ultimate precision weapon? Or does the Miata still reign as the king of driving fun? Watch to the end to see which car takes the win—and let us know in the comments which side you’re on.

“You’re On Your Own” Fitments & How to MAKE IT WORK (sort of) | #FAQ

You’re On Your Own” Fitments & How to MAKE IT WORK (sort of)


If you’re ever seen our series called “Fit Check”, you’d know that in those videos, we outline 3 different categories of fitments (“No Hassle”, “Slight Flex”, and “All the Wheel”). If you managed to make it to the end of any of those videos, first let us say “thank you”… then, you’ll probably recognize a 4th category we like to call YOYO or “You’re on your own”.

YOYO is a bonus fitment category of sorts, but really more of a disclaimer. Anything width or offset sizing exceeding this point in our recommendations, and… you got it – you’re on your own. This is because in our experience, anything exceeding this point will require suspension modifications and/or body mods like rolling fenders or even over fenders or widebody kits will be necessary.

Maybe your buddy has fit a 10.5″ wide wheel and we’re only recommending a 9.5″. That doesn’t mean 10.5″ won’t fit in any situation, it means that your buddy more than likely had to put in some work just to make it fit – which is not a situation we want YOU to have to find yourself navigating out of.

Hope this video helps understand why we recommend the fitments that we do in our videos and if YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, feel free to comment them below and we’ll be sure to get back to you!
