New 16x8 Wheel Incoming - Konig Dekagram

[M-Sport fan]

Just put my Dekagrams on last night, wrapped in BFG Sport Comp 2's 205/50 with stock suspension. I love it so far, I wish the temps would warm up so I can really push them, but so far the car feels much lighter on it's feet, and it's nice to get the winter tires off finally!

NICE!

Let us HOPE that you did not take off the winter setup too soon (given the screwiness of the weather lately, here on the east coast)!!

Eh I'm good with stock suspension. I daily this car, my weekend car is a modified 370z that has swift springs...I love them but I don't want to worry about scraping over speed bumps.

Finally got ‘em mounted up. Won’t quit pissing rain tho - so these are the best pics I’ve got. Still got the damn lube on the tires.... thanks for the attention to detail Costco....

Is anyone planning on powder coating a different color? I feel these would look great in their matte grey finish. Details just get lost in the matte black

for anyone curious the tires are 205/45/16. I had to dig to page 23 of this thread to find that info.

Anyone posting photos in the future please include tire size, thanks.

I'll definitely be going somewhere in the silver/grey spectrum as I have a TB, and black on black is a crime.

I saw these in person yesterday and the pictures dont do it justice. These tires are meaty as hell and the wheels look awesome.

Wonder if that tire size scrapes on 1” drop

I'd say yes

Called Konig a couple of days ago. They said if there was another color it would be bronze in the dekagrams.

Dekagrams in bronze?!?! I might have to cancel my order and get them in bronze

No guarantees on if or when tho!

They said it was entirely based on how well the current ones sell / demand. So buy lots!

Thats not a problem. There is a real shortage on these wheels.

 

[XanRules]

ugh, I didn't think I was gonna like black wheels but the stockers are really growing on me and those look fantastic.

 

[FiSTerTheGrouch]

Well I put in an order with performance, I don't mind waiting. These are sexy.

Yep - indeed 205/45/16. Almost wish I went with the 225's - as those R888's look fantastic. But I'm probably better off with the 205's when I do the suspension.

You think 225 would’ve fit?

Specs on the R888r posted above:
225/45ZR16 Rolling Diameter 23.9" Section Width 8.9 Tread Width 8

Specs on the BFG Comp 2s:
205/45ZR16 Rolling Diameter 23.2" Section Width 8.1 Tread Width 8"

They don't make the Comp 2's in a 225/45/16 - so I'd of had to go with a different tire. I got a pretty good deal on those - so I'm happy.

The Toyo R1Rs are a street tire, and the price isn't too bad - but have the same tread width as the Comp 2's (which are very wide for a 205 tire)
225/45ZR16 Rolling Diameter 23.9" Section Width 9 Tread Width 8

The Dunlop Direzza's gain a half inch of tread width while still staying at 23.9"
225/45ZR16 Rolling Diameter 23.9" Section Width 8.9 Tread Width 8.5

But either of those option would have been a few almost double what I spent on the Comp 2's.

What about the comp 2s in 205/50/16 pattern? I have seen couple of peeps using that size.
