New Konig Flow Formed Mesh Wheel

[Jarbear]

Actually, I need to trade my wheels with another Ampliform owner that has these in Bronze (along with 245/40/R18 MPSS or similar - got 800 miles on the tires) - lol

lol, yeah. Find someone local to you in the CA Bay Area with bronze Ampliform and low mileage tires. Possibly a white car to make the graphite trade more enticing.

Sorry I can't help you out there

Bronze with blue is always good.

I have to agree with you.

ain't that the iconic Subaru STI color? Blue with Gold / Bronze wheels?

Hecken yes. I had a neighbor back in 2013 that bought one of the first Subaru BRZs, and it was WR blue pearl. He was contacted by a few companies to use as a test bed for their products, so it had dark gold OZ wheels, wilwoods, Ohlins and a whole buncho goodies. Gold wheels, blue car, looked gooooood.

Go 245/40. Almost zero stretch. I got delrin hub rings and lug bolts/locks from ecs. Delrin rings, zero issues and no seizing.

Btw once you get them, I suggest coating them. I ceramic coated mine. Brake dust doesn’t stick, it just “pools” up and sits wherever gravity leaves it.

Apr rings, yes (note that the price is for a single ring). Definitely cheaper options BUT they fit well.

I got the ECS branded 30mm lugs bolts, and BMW wheel locks

You convinced me about the black lug bolts, lol

Which one did you get?

The one below?

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-parts/conical-seat-wheel-bolt-14x15x30mm-priced-each/c17d30-znnitt/

Are the OEM lug bolts 28mm shank length?

Maybe this?

Glad I could be of influence haha. Definitely nice meeting you and seeing your car in person.

The ones I bought were the 30mm, stock being 27mm I believe. I have had zero issues with any bottoming out. Plus I think the thickness of the Ampliforms lug holes is more than the stock (no actual data).

Cool, the Gorilla Lug Nuts that came with my wheel had a shank length of 23mm (sounds too short - lol).

I ordered the 30mm one as you recommended. Next time I remove the wheels, i'll measure how much of the shank is sticking out

17mm "sticking out" (or 2/3 inch) from the wheel pad seems to be the recommended number.

Finally Got them on!

Here are a few pics with the Konig Ampliforms. 18x8.5 w/57.1 to 66.6 Hubcentric rings - 245/40 Falken Azenis RT615K+. Ride is great and I don't rub!

^ stock height?

No - I'm on Eibach Pro Kit Springs. A .6 inch drop I believe.

What ceramic coating product did you use?
