New 16x8 Wheel Incoming - Konig Dekagram

[FiSTerMr]

I'm with you I hate mud flaps it looks like crap imo lol but to each their own. I believe I'd find other ways around the problem like ram said if there even is one. I've been running 15x8 pro race 1.2s in warm weather since 2016 and they stick out slightly more than these and I have no flaps and no issues

That is a relief, I will tempt fate and go flapLESS

The rear overhang of the bumper is nominal. The only way a rock would fling up and hit the bumper is if you had all-wheel drive and was spinning the tires on gravel. Otherwise, the rocks will just spit straight out the back nowhere near the bumper.

The sides of the rear bumper and a bit of the quarter panel looks to be a bit vulnerable with the lower offset. I think I'm gonna have a shop by me put a couple of strips of ppf in the immediate area.
I actually have a small roll of 3m film lying around, but I don't trust my application skills. It looks a lot easier than it actually is.

Woohoooo!

Ordered wed night, at my door friday afternoon!

Weighed 2 wheels on my crap bathroom scale, 14.6#

 

[FiSTerMr]

OEM wheel says 23.6#
There is a wheel weight on it, but it's a small one.

FYI:
The konig center cap logo stick on plate is exactly 49mm.
Gonna see if I can find something on ebay to replace it with.

The cap is stick on? Mine was bolted on. Or you mean the logo is a sticker om the bolt-on center cap?

The second part, lol. I was at a loss for words trying to describe it.

yup, saw that, but i believe those are 56mm and will be too big. I was hoping for an ST one, but they are also 56mm

the one you see pictured is not 56mm, it's 46mm which was originally made for a set of Rota Slipstreams I had. I just wanted to see what it would look like. I could have them made in 49mm, but not really interested.

Interesting. I thought your original post was a photoshop mock up. How would you get them made?
These are what I was thinking...

oh and I would stay away from overlays. Overlays are typically designed to go over smooth surfaces, but you should be aware that the Konig emblems that came with the wheels are not completely smooth. Go have a look and you'll notice the letters protrude a bit. This causes issues with overlays and overlays are typically too thin to be used solo without solid backing. The Konig center cap has a hole in the middle so it's not solid without the decal.

I was hoping to use something in place of the Konig emblems, rather than on top of them.
To be honest, the konig emblems are nice and subtle. I actually like them, I'm just accustomed to seeing oem caps on wheels.

I will most likely not go through the hassle.

Same here, I'll update later when I'm ready to display my OE ST logo Konig cap.

With emblems you can replace the Konig one, with overlays they need something solid underneath.

Decided on the mcgard splinedrive lug nuts.

*They are listed in the lug nut thread

They have the floating seat (2 piece) design, which won't dig into the wheel and torques down far more accurately.

Looks nice.

If I ever swap out to Dekagrams for a summer setup, they are getting those tires on them!

Love these wheels. They're exactly what I was looking for.
