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

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A AND B PROFILE WHEELS

Posted on by Konig Gfx

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A AND B PROFILE WHEELS

Ever went to our website, check out the wheel you’re interested in, went to the wheel specs section and the size you are interested in has an “A” or “B” next to it?! (You: Yeah! What is that Konig?!) No worries, we got you! Scott (Konig Wheels, Marketing Director) does like Clarissa and explains it all! (Our over 30 years old crowd will understand that Clarissa reference) Just so you know, it has to do with the concavity or convexity of the wheel. But its much more complicated than that. And that’s why we made this video, so you can further understand what it means when purchasing a set of new wheels.
