I'm thinking about getting these on my silver EP. I'm going 16" but i need help on the offset! I probably dont plan on lowering my car, And i'm going with 205/55/16 Falken azenis. Anyone know what offset works? Anyone with 16's and 205's please tell me what offset your running. Thanks allot. Also, what do you guys think of the looks?

The 5Zigen FN01R-C in 17 x 7 weighs in at 16lbs. Might want to look at that as well.

I've been thinkin' about getting a set of these myself. (The Koenig holes)

They are nice lookin' wheels and are decently priced. I'm probably goin' 16"

For offset I think ours should be 38-40.

Where are you guys getting the weights for the Konigs? They are being punk-a**es and not putting it on their web site.

Be sure to look into the 17" Konig Heliums (Silver) that are 14lbs!
Also check out the Konig Greenlights.

If you are set on 16's the Rota Circuit 8's are around 14lbs, as well as the slips!

IMO black wheels dont look as good on silver, but its just an opinion.

yeah lowering the car, especially where we live is a bad idea.
we get alot of snow in the winters and on certain roads I can hear the snow scraping underneath the car and mine is stock. I don't even want to think about what would happen if it was any lower.
I like the 5zigens

You can use coilovers, there more expensive(real ones, not the sleeves) but their adjustable.

steve those wheels are tight. not to heavy i guess. arent you getting some? how much you pay?

hey does anyone think that those black racing pro n1 wheels in black or bronze would look good on a black ep?

I'm running 16x7 Enkei DM5's on ES100 205/50/16. The offset is 42 but 40 is ideal for are EP's.

Hope this helps.

i like those wheels, except the way the lip/spokes are set up, it makes them look smaller than 16's..

sounds like you didn't wait for offset advice.. hope you enjoy the ride.. the wheels look good.. that's a nice 4x4

so what's wrong with the offset :o

hey, if he already put them on his car.. then there's nothing WRONG with the offset. They fit, right?

but if he had a choice, and could have had a more aggressive offset.. say 38 or 35 or something like that, but rushed into getting a 45.. maybe he would have like to have a wider track.

unfortunately most people don't know that you can put some crazy offsets on our cars without rubbing.

I really like Konig wheels. Great weight/looks/price ratio.. but they unfortunately don't usually have much choice in the offset department which can be an issue with brake clearance if you do a big brake kit (I know.. usually not a problem for most people)

Actally, you cant see shit in the pic, but when i get a better pic it will show that i'm concerned with the wheels being too FAR out, not too narrow. The clearances for big brakes seem fine, but your right about poor offset choices.

i think the only offset available for those wheels is a 40 (is that what you got?). It may be an optical illusion with the wheels being "too far out". You should be TOTALLY fine.. remember I have 32 offset with no problems on a lowered car.

damn those look funky on the EP, something about the huge lip they have, makes them look really small.

shiny lip with dark center makes the rims looks smaller.

the offset looks VERY nice. You still shouldn't rub (the suspension tends to toe out under load, so the top of the wheels tuck into the fenders).


that's a nice 4x4;)
