Hey I have been wanting to get the Konig Unknown rims for my car and the smallest I can find them in is 17's. Does anyone know if these will fit on my car? If yes there are a couple different sizes anyone know what I should get and what size of tires should I wrap around them? If not will 16's work? Any reason why I should get 16's over 17's or vice versa?

By the way this is a daily driver that gets mostly freeway miles and college parking lot miles on it......if that matters.

 

well the main difference between 16-17" is performance vs. show

16" has more rubber for better performance
17" has thinner walls so not the best idea if you want to use it for like autox.

if i were you, i would go with 16" just cuz they can still look sexy and keep the performance.

 

Ride quality is usually the term I use. If you want to rock bigger, heavier, 17's because they look cool, great. But be prepared for a bit of a bumpy ride. 16's look damn good, and you can put more rubber on them to keep your ride comfort.

 

alright thanks guys. What demensions on the wheels and what size of tires should i get?


ahhh I cant decide which I like the most.....which one do yall like the most and are these the right sizes?

I was leaning towards the Konig Troubles but I like the Silver lip around the Montegi's as well.....since I would be happy with both I am just asking yall which you think would look the best.

The car is a 2000 silver dx hatch.....I dont have pics of the car up yet anywhere.

 

everyone always dissing the 17s.......

 

I only speak the truth

 

so what do yall think about the ones im looking at?

And what about these tires?

what do yall think?

Also for lugnuts did everyone spend like 120+ on lugnuts so they could have the locking kind? Is there somewhere I havent looked yet? It seems a bit high to me for just lug nuts. It is a good idea to get the locking ones right?

Links would be good.

 

17's on a 99 hatch.

This is before lowering

This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but, I don't like any of the wheels you posted.

IMO: if you're still on stock suspension, stick with 16s. 17s on stock suspension will give you more wheelgap than tire, and it looks lame
