z ya Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 I just got a new MSA flyer and I noticed that they are offering some Konig Imagine wheels now that fit the Z's without adaptors. They are 17x7. Is anyone running these yet? They want 289 for them and I know that is at least double what Konig probablly sells them for????????

Guest zfan Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Go to Tire Rack.com my friend found them for 149.00 each. You just have to pay for shipping as well! Im thinking of buying a set. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 I dont know where you found them on www.tirerack.com but I can't find them. What kind of car does your friend have??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaime240z Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 If they do have them at tire-rack, then you should be able to get them from your local America's Tire Co. Their prices are pretty good compared to mail order and you don't have to pay shipping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inZane 240 Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 RON's car these are 18 inchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickwon Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Wow, were any mods needed to be done to fit those on or did you just bolt them up? They look great! Sweet choice! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z ya Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 Looks good, I think he has adaptors though. I looked on tire racks web site and it shows no 17x7 in a Z offset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 adaptors for sure, big ones. rons putting some good power through them with no worries and no flares.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z ya Posted November 14, 2002 Author Share Posted November 14, 2002 Anyone have pics of these wheels on their car?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaime240z Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 I'm pretty sure you will need adapters to get those wheels bolted on to a Z. You will pay less for the wheels through America's Tire , etc. but the adapters will cost you an extra $200 or so. I got a set from Ross @ modern-motorsports.com for $225 to my door. ( Good service, too ) Jaime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greimann Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Originally posted by z ya:Well I e mailed Konig and they said they make no such animal! Do you think MSA is selling these wheels with adaptors?? Kinda weird?? Motorsport probably has a special agreement with Koenig to produce unique specification wheels, and have exclusive rights as a distributor. No other distribution channel like Tire Rack or America's Tire will have access to that product. And since it is so special, Koenig customer service may not know about them. The low volume and exclusive rights drive up the cost. You are better off financially with Honda spec wheels and adapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tickwon Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 So, if you get adaptors won't the wheel stick more? How does that work? I've heard of this, but never heard of anymore saying what kine wheels or offset the use. Well, I've hear of people using Hondas wheels...is that offset perfect when using an adaptor? Thanks.

Cody 82 ZXT Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Take a look here and you'll find the info you need about adapters. It's Ross's site and has info and the products you need to fit Honda rims on our cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 the MSA rims are nice, but a bit high priced. However they will bolt right on. I suggest Centerlines. I got a set "Scorpion" 17x8 with 40 series BF Goodrich Schorchers at Discount Tires for 1600.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 you guys got it all wrong. the second i got my catalog months ago i called them about their rims. they use about a 1.5" spacer i think 35mm is what they said. so it's easier to order the spacers from Ross Corrigan and finding some cheap honda wheels. the konigs don't bolt up to our 1st gen Z. sorry to burst the bubble guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleek Z Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Guys, Hold tght for a few days and I will publish some new photos taken this weekend of a radical 280Z based convertible project being buit in Northern California destined to be setup with 18" Konig wheels made with 4 bolt stud pattern, ready to bolt up to 240Z, 4 bolt spindles equipped with 4 wheel , Z32 4 piston brake and rotor setup at the base of coil overs. The customizer already has purchased the 4 lug, 18" Konigs with mounted tires and it is my understanding that has test fitted them up under stock front fenders and modified rear fenders. My one shot of the Konig wheel will show it positioned outboard and to the rear of 240Z already running a 17" wheel, in an attempt to give everyone here some kind of comparison between the two while I wait for an opportunity to photograph project with 18" wheels actually fitted to project car later on. Photos of structural reinforcements and body mods, custom brake and suspension mods, ZZ4 V8 engine and wheels will appear soon in my Featured Z Car Projects section ps, I invited Dan Juday to accompany me up to the photo shoot and you can bet he will have some impressions of his own to share about what he saw there after I get the photos published.

Nismo280zEd Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 If you could enlighten us as to where your project car customer bought the rims w/ the proper offset, i think we would all apreciate it. Thanx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
