When they do, I'll be taking them up to the local Belle Tire and getting a set of new Toyo Proxy 4's mounted on them (195/50/15)

I'm excited! They're gonna look so sexy on my woo!

195/50/15 is a good tire size to get, with the 50 of height they will look awesome.

HOLY CRAP!!! The Konig's arrived today! I ordered them YESTERDAY afternoon and they were shipped UPS ground! I literally got them Next Day!

Took them in to get the tires and mounting done on it today (got an alignment done too)... BUT... They didn't have the lug set they needed to put them on properly. So... They did mount the tires on the wheels and they do look awesome, they're just not on my car yet.

So... no wheels for me until Monday.

Quick question... does the Nubria and Lanos share the same kind of bolts? Will a Nubria lug kit work on a Lanos? (The tire shop I took them to seemed to think that is the case)

Well... at least I got the tires rotated hehe.

All the tire mechanics in there were amazed at how light the Konigs are. They all took turns picking them up and holding them at arms length with one hand. A bunch of them were saying that they were the lightest wheels they've worked with.

congrats. man!

actually that makes me feel sad about my wheels... today i lifted up Aymoon's 15" rim with 195/50/15 tire with one hand and it was light... good luck trying to lift my 14" steel wheel with 185/60/14 tire with BOTH hands.

seriousliy i am happy for you man... can't wait to see pics of your car with the new rims on.

no idea about the lug kit but the nubira setup is kinda different... it got the threaded part on the hub itself and you just remove the bolts... on the lanos you remove the bolt wit hthe treaded part and you are left with 4 jhles in the hub... i hope i explained that in a clear way.

Yeah. I know. I don't know if they really know though... They don't seem to get it.

If they don't have them on Monday, I'll be getting pretty annoyed with them. We'll see.

Maybe I should order a set myself just to make sure they can be put on.

Found a shop in town where I can pick up the tuner bolts. Hopefully I'll get the wheels mounted tonight

Can't wait to see some pics of how they look on the car.

Mounted!!! WOOT!

Here's the first pic. If you want to see it from a particular angle, let me know and I can take another

I think they look awesome!

Awesome. Purely awesome. It definately feels like it's gripping the road a lot harder. Acceleration seems smoother and quicker, braking is easier... Overall, I love them!
