Posted on by Konig Gfx

Bigger wheels may look great, but they aren’t always the best option for performance. In this video, we break down the real advantages of choosing a smaller wheel diameter—and why it can make a noticeable difference in how your car drives.

We cover:

• Less unsprung mass and how reducing weight improves responsiveness and suspension performance

• Better handling feel through more direct and communicative steering • Faster acceleration thanks to reduced rotational mass

• Improved ride quality with more sidewall for real-world roads Whether you’re into autocross, track days, or simply want your daily driver to feel more refined, this video explains the performance science behind wheel sizing and why smaller wheels are often the smarter choice.

Konig Neoform | Flow Formed

Posted on by Matt Rodriguez

The Konig Neoform is a 5-spoke flow formed wheel with motorsports inspired origins. Flow forming technology is a manufacturing process that results in a lighter weight and more durable wheel. Available in 17, 18, and 19 inch diameter. Widths range from 8-10.5. Although there is no 4-lug pattern option, the Neoform is available in 5 different 5-lug bolt patterns including: 5×100, 5×108, 5×112, 5×114.3, and 5×120. The Neoform is available in A & B profiles. The A profile is a more straight face with more brake caliper clearance. The B profile is more concave with a more aggressive look. B profile is only available in the wider widths.

The Neoform is currently only offered in a Matte Grey finish. We get asked, why only one color? When creating a new wheel we receive many samples in different finishes. The Matte Grey on the Neoform was no compromise, the grey highlights the details in each spoke and allows the lines to look the sharpest. Other finishes on this particular wheel would wash away some of the more flattering details.

Understanding Wheel Specs

Posted on by Matt Rodriguez

No problem, check out this video below to help understand some basic wheel specs, terms, and other jargon.

 

4 Lug, Small Sizes Available

Posted on by Matt Rodriguez

There was a time when 17″ wheels were considered a bigger size. It seems like OEM wheels are getting larger and larger. As the average wheel size goes up, it makes it harder to find new designs for smaller wheels. We are proud to be making new wheels in both 4-lug patterns and smaller diameter sizing. If you love an old ride and want to keep it looking fresh and new, you don’t have to settle for the used third party market. Our friend John has Heliograms in Titanium Metallic in 15×8 4×100 ET36 on his 1998 EK Civic giving this car a refreshing new look.
