Nice.. I like Konigs alot. I will be putting Heliums on my GS soon as well. Nice and light weight too. Good choice man. Have you checked here for them? Sometimes Goodwin has some good prices.

Just because they are 'new' doesn't mean they look fresh.

Regardless, I don't like rims without center caps. Look cheap.

They look nice for the price, how much do the 15's weight? I hope they come with centrecaps though.

If you really like them though i say go for it, i bet they'll look pretty good on your car.

Dunno how much those would weigh in the 15 size.. but the Konig Heliums I want are only 11.4 lbs each in the 15" size and can be found for as low as $79 a rim.. available in silver, bronze and black (though the black costs $10 more usually)

the wheels are pretty light but arent much wider. the price is very low too and they dont look bad. pretty good bang for the buck.

I'd bet you can get center caps for them... I know the older Konigs you couldn't or they would have a lug ring, but no center cap. Surely the newer ones have them. They look nice, but without a center cap I think I mught rethink. my .02
