Very nice, can’t wait to see more of these on cars. I’m really interested in the fitments people will run and clearance on the TTRS brakes.

Awesome, what fitment are you going with on the wheels. I did quite a bit of back and forth with Konig on Wheels with TT-RS brakes so I might be able to help you out and save you some headaches.

Went with the 18x8.5 et45. The brakes won’t come along until the end of summer or so though. Did you have fitment issues? I’m also going to be getting a set of lightweight wheels for the track so the calipers will need to clear both sets of wheels. Gonna be a headache I can already tell lol

Well I went in hoping that mine would clear but knowing there was a good chance they wouldn't. The hardest parts was no one I get hold of had the actual CAD template for the TTRS. So I sent as much info as I had to them, and used the best CADs I could find of similar BBKs. But then those CAD files were locked versions so they couldn't overlay them and had to do their best guess. Konig told me my wheels would most likely need 3-4mm to clear and that the inner barrel wouldn't be an issue because with many 18s that is an issue, it is that tight. I test fit with a 4mm and they cleared, ended up buying the 42DD conversion 5mm spacers since the hub on the Konig is 66.56 and we need 57.1. I had the tier shop static balance the wheels so the weights didn't hit the caliper because they did on one of my other sets of wheels.
My wheels are 18x9 et45 Rennforms w/ 5mm they clear.

Mine should be in and on next week.
I will measure between the PP Caliper and the inside of the wheel for ya.

18x8.5 Grey Ampliforms came in! They have a nice subtle metallic flake to them which looks amazing. I’m pretty sure my scale is off though so take the 19.3lbs with a grain of salt, I believe they are lighter. Heading now to have them installed

Nice color combo! I do wish Konig would offer some of these wheels in a basic silver or hyperblack though. They are cheap enough I might just powdercoat though.
