New 16x8 Wheel Incoming - Konig Dekagram

[M-Sport fan]

I'm running 17x8 +40 with 215/40s with -2.5deg camber from bolts so the top of the tire is tipped in relative to the strut..., tons of room!

My sti can't fit a business card lol

I am running 215/40-17 RS-RRs (7.7" tread width, {might even be 8" wide with the 8" wheel }) on ET42 17x8 TDs, yes, albeit on full (even springs) factory suspension with only -1.0* camber, but there is PLENTY of room there,

YES PLZ!!!

Saw this on one of Konigs IG picture from SEMA this year. I know a lot of you are looking for a 16x8 Wheel so I have good news for you:

Konig should also offer these in a 16x7 for the autocrossers who either cannot get the way too limited production RPF1s from recalcitrant Enkei, or who, like me, are just not all that enamored of their aesthetics in any size.

I think enough 16x7 options out there. Screw them guys we need 8s lol.

TRUE, as I cannot stand the SCCA's ridiculous, draconian (pretty much indefensible) wheel rules anyway!

I’m 100% in on these. I was about to throw in the towel on a simple solution for an 8” wheel myself for the spring and just get some 16x7s. Glad to see this! I’ll put a deposit down whenever if this comes to fruition.

sign me up, damn

Wow, I'm actually happy I haven't bought wheels yet

HOPEFULLY, this will NOT be a very limited, bespoke, one run deal, and WILL become a REGULAR, continuous, production and stocking item for Konig, unlike other manufacturers who insist on so and so many pre-orders, and then NO other runs after that initial one.

I DID already buy wheels, and must buy a set of narrower winter/rally working wheels/tires for my next set of rolling stock, but would like to get these eventually as a great looking, lighter setup with a 225/45 tire on them.

I'd wonder when the release date will be released? That would determine when a group buy would be released

Think on their website it said planning for a March release

 

[Plainrt]

Dang. Hopefully soon enough before autocross starts back up.

I really hope these wheels come to reality. Advanti gave me false hope with their 16x7.5 Racing storms last year. We all have to just spam their customer service email with requests for 16x8 in a 4x108 bolt pattern.

Here is a comparison to the stock setup:
205/40/17 on 7in rim VS 215/40/16 on 8in rim

Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 4.7mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 20.7mm more than before.

Looks like a winner to me. Now to choose between these and the Hypergrams.....

So who wants to contact them about a group buy? If a down payment is needed idc, I'm in

 

[TougeMiata]

I'll email them today.

Damn! these are going to be my next new wheels. already in the GB for the 16x7 Enkei RPF1.
I suppose that I'll be selling those wheels in the Spring to put these babies on in the Summer
