Staninator Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hey guys I'm looking into some Konig Runaways 17" black wheels for my civic. Are they good quality wheels if not what is recommended in this price range? Also factory offset for my wheels is 45 and the runaways are 40. Does this mean that I will have positive or negative offset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I recommend you take a look at tirerack to get an idea of pricing and styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staninator Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 I recommend you take a look at tirerack to get an idea of pricing and styles. I have already checked them out. They don't have Konig :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 How much are the runaways? OZ Ultraleggeras are very similar, and I've been thinking about getting them for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannaBstuntin Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 LOL ok those are MUCH cheaper than OZ. You gonna order a set? What color is your EM2, btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 i like that style and the color goes with pretty much everything. the offset will just make the rims look slightly deeper than your stock ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to see what everyone else's opinion was. My civic is nighthawk black, so it's pure secks ;) i like that style and the color goes with pretty much everything. the offset will just make the rims look slightly deeper than your stock ones. So the wheel will actually be in 5mm more than the ones I have on now? Will the side walls of the tire and rim go in too or just the bolt pattern? I don't think I should notice a difference...

I don't think I should notice a difference... No...that's wrong. 2 things that play a role into how "flush" a wheel sits with the fender. One is offset and the second is the width of the wheel A 45 offset on a 6" wide wheel (just a guess as to your stock width) versus a 40 offset on a 7" wide wheel....the 7"/40offset wheel will come out of the fender well 18mm farther than stock. That means that the outside of the wheel will come out more flush to the edge of the fender. That same setup will also take up an additional 8mm on the backside. Hope that makes sense. I'm honestly not sure what Pballer meant by "look deeper" as that has to do with the style of wheel more than the offset (though offset does play a role too).

Okay so this is the data page that compares the runaways to the stock rims (I had to compare it to the EX sedan because they don't have an option for the EX coupe): http://www.tiredealersites.com/konig2/defa...s&wid=28250 Also having negative offset is bad isn't it? I read it here: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoWheelOffsets.dos Will I have negative offset with this size rims meaning will it rub on my fender from turning and such?

CleanGSR Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 sry the website i looked at wasn't specific enough so i got confused. I wasn't saying you were wrong....I was saying his interpretation was wrong of thinking that the Konigs would sit in farther. I was correcting him in the fact that they will actually stick Out farther. I just wasn't sure what you meant by "look deeper" unless you were talking about the "dish" part of the rim....in which case a lower offset will cause a deeper dish usually.

I guess this is the question you are wanting answered? Well, I didn't answer it because it really makes no sense to me. You can't have negative offset. To my knowledge, a zero offset is as low as you can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
