GI Gi: Konig hypergrams

[Im_Zee11]

soo any updates? i feel like the thread went cold.

(i'm down for 17x8 if it still matters)

I think we still need like 5ish more buyers. Pricey part group buys take a while to to make a quota. Honestly I'm surprised we got this many this fast. The hard part is always the last few but I'm confident it will go through

I emailed Konig again on Tuesday and for the first time, they did not respond back.

I just got the go ahead from Konig to say they now have them in stock. Im impatient so I am getting a quote from Discount Tire in case the GB doesnt move quick enough for me

Just a FYI for anyone in this group buy in the US, discount tire direct can get these wheels and they're cheaper than the group buy.

Yeah that's cause the GB discount is rubbish.

spoke with Konig sales last Friday! Will have an update soon. Just recovering from a business trip.

Interested in this, would like the matte grey in the 17" size

FYI because I'm gonna let these go and get 15s, I was quoted $147 US shipped each from Discount tire. Turn around as of 2017-05-06 was 10-12 business days shipped to my door.

Wow this group buy is a bit of a disappointment...

I got quoted 155/per but that included valve stems and TPMS reset. Shipped with taxes - 697.13 from my local Discount Tire in Texas.

I wanted to use the Evos (for their; tread width, tread wear rating, and more rain compatible tread pattern), but after some of the reviews on here of them feeling 'mushy' in the side wall/during turn-in, I decided to go with the 215/40-17 RS-RRs instead, even though they are .3" narrower in tread width than the Evos.

I have them sitting in the basement waiting for the 1.2s to arrive, and going by the 'hand force side wall flex test', these side walls barely move at all even using a lot of force!

My concern is the treadwear and daily driver compatibility of the rs-rr. I still havent ordered the tires yet since I have to confirm the wheels are still available.

I'm in for the 16x8. Btw do not buy the 595 Evo's unless you want to get rid of the sharp turn in feeling. After putting them on boy did the steering loosen up.

Arrival has happened

You're quite a bit further north and east than I am (assuming ON is Ontario), but it only took 4 business days to get them to Texas from Cali.

SWEET!!

The ONLY thing aesthetically I don't like about those wheels (and yes, it is MINUTIA!) are the 'lightening' holes cast into the hub plate, but even if you don't like those, they will not stand out once mounted to the hub anyway.

I am almost glad they are not currently offered in black, since I would then be even more tempted to sell my 1.2s, and purchase these.
