[SergMSP]

Hey All, looking for opinions...
I'm about to purchase 17" Konig Sideways, check em out:

So i was debating whether I should put em on as is, or have them powdercoated
the same spicy orange as my MSP? (uhm)

those don't look good in orange. that offset may be a tad low, too.

Yea i was questioning that myself...do i need to look into spacers or something? offset should be what? 45?

No don't paint them...as far as offset I think you may be ok with the sedan. According to Rishie the hatch should have at least a +42 offset and the sedan can run smaller due to more clearance room in the rear fenders.

[Tengo]

I was just looking at these rims myself... I'd stick with the black on it but the powdercoating idea is not bad for a Spicy Orange, just not with those wheels

yea man, these rims look sick the way they come...also i got quotes for doing the custom powdercoating job and its 125 a wheel!! what size you gonna get them in? im gettin 17's for 680$ and just plan on using stock tires, 215-45-17...ill post pics when/if i get em...

you won't want to go wider than 205 tires if your offset is only +40mm

unless you don't mind having the fenders rolled if you rub

I say dont coat them with the spicy.....it'll look awful. Justlook at the VW Beatles with the paint matching wheels.
