Konig Rewinds 4x110 (Special deal)

[Rogue_Wulff]

Just thought I'd throw this out for the rest of the old schoolers.
Discount tire direct has these wheels listed for $99 each, shipped. Thru the end of May, they are also offering a $50 "Instant rebate" on all orders containing 4 wheels. You can order a set, and have them on your door about 2 weeks later, for ~$346 (plus tax where applicable and/or accessories).
I just ordered a set to use for race tires, so I can keep my Ronal's for street use.

Since these are not listed by application, they have to be searched for by size.
Here's a direct link:

*NOTE, if they don't show up, search by size and specify the 15" and 4-110 option. Special order only, at this time. Hence the 2 week wait for delivery.

Holy amazing deals Batman!!! If I wasn't so happy with what I've got, I'd be jumping all over this. Thanks for the info RW....

NP man. Yes, it was an amazing deal. I was almost committed to buying a set of RT615's for dual use, but when I saw that I could get these for about the same price, I decided to switch gears. Especially since I have a set of RT615's that are still usable stacked in the corner, along with a set of 225/45-15 Hoosier A6's. Both are close to being done, but have a few events left. The A6's sealed the deal for me. They were given to me over the weekend.

And, just 'cause I can, a gratuitous pic of the new wheels....

And the car they are going on. The current 15x7 Ronals will be used for normal driving.

Thanks for the heads up ;) I just made John by 4 with a set of Rt615's for his. Now I have to finagle his old 14" 4-spoke aftermarket wheels to use as my race wheels.

[PercentSevenC]

It's too bad more sizes aren't available. But I guess we 4x110 guys have to take what we can get.

[Rogue_Wulff]

Yeah. These aren't exactly what I really wanted, but they were available and affordable.
They're destined to be race wheels, so looks aren't as important as functionality. Besides, they will let me keep tamer street tires for daily driving, and more agressive rubber for competition driving.

[Rogue_Wulff]

Thanks for the heads up ;) I just made John by 4 with a set of Rt615's for his. Now I have to finagle his old 14" 4-spoke aftermarket wheels to use as my race wheels.

I am seriously debating calling my salesman back, and adding a set of RT615's to my order. I still have time to do so, and get in on the free mount/balance, since the wheels had to be special ordered.
I have a set that have a little life left, but a new set would be so much sweeter.......

[Rogue_Wulff]

I ordered these on May 5, and was told they would arrive in 2 weeks, around May 18-19. I got the tracking info email, and it shows they will be here Monday May 11. I can't complain about the service, since this was a special order item.
Great service, in my opinion. Less than 7 days to recieve a special ordered set of wheels, for an FB, and under $350 shipped. Heck, I couldn't even find used wheels for that price......


Don't ask for pics when I get them on, I don't even own a camera, much less a digital camera. I may be able to get some pics taken at the next autox though (May 17). If so, I'll post some of those.

[P71]

They're sold out for upwards of 2 months! They called John back and canceled his order :( He did get a $50 coupon so when they come back he can get them at the same price.

I did find out that Konig B-Bombs come in 4x110 and they are *much* better looking on an FB than Rewinds IMO. We may try to get those instead...

[Rogue_Wulff]

WOW, back ordered already? I was told they had plenty available when I called in to check availability. In fact, I was told that both the silver and graphite versions were stockpiled in the warehouse.
The "B-Bombs" I saw in 4x110 were 0 offset, which will stick out about an inch compared to the Rewind's +20 offset. My current 15x7's are +15, so I know I can easily clear the +20, since I also have coilover front.
I liked the looks of the b-bomb better, but as low as my car sits, I was afraid I might have fender rub issues.
I wish Konig offered the C-Sharp in the same size/offset/bolt pattern as the Rewind.

[P71]

Yep, and we called the day after you posted this. Apparently Konig underestimated how much demand there is for 4x110 wheels.

I like the look of the B-Bombs and measured out that they would fit with Z-car flares oh so nicely... ;)

[Rogue_Wulff]

UPS showed up a little bit ago. These wheels look even better than I thought they would.
6 days to recieve a special order is pretty darn good, considering I was quoted 2 weeks.
DTD has certainly earned more of my business in the future. This was my 3rd time ordering from them, and the service has always been great.

[Rogue_Wulff]

Anyone considering ordering these wheels should be advised, the stock lug bolts will NOT work. The hole the lugs go into is extremely recessed, and too small diameter for most sockets or lug wrenches to fit inside.
The best plan would be screw in studs, and lug nuts with no larger than a 19mm (3/4") hex.

Even if you could get the stock lugs to work, their pressed on head make them very undesirable, even on the stock wheels.

My Ronal wheels came with 17mm hex head lug bolts, so they can be used, but the depth of the lug holes makes them very difficult to get started into the hubs.
I'll likely switch to screw in studs and nuts in the near future, just to make installation of these Konig's easier.

[orion84gsl]

McGards spline drive lugs are pretty small in diameter and the tool included with has an outside diameter the same as the widest point of the lug. Not sure of the actual diameter. Wish I had the money for these. I'm dying to get a new set of wheels.

[Rogue_Wulff]

I've considered the spline drive lugs. They also have another nice feature, the conical seat is seperate from the rest of the lug, allowing it to spin. This lets the seating surface of the wheel get less wear.

[orion84gsl]

Yup, a very nice two piece design. I bought a set over two years ago and have yet to use them. Nice to know I have them when I do get some new wheels.

[Rogue_Wulff]

I still haven't done anything about lugs. I can get by with my current lug bolts for a while. Heck, I haven't even unpacked the wheels, other than a quick inspection and test fitting one on the car. Kinda sad, when you consider that I have a set of RT615's in another room, just waiting for wheels..... And a set of RA1's, and A6's (225/45-15).
I guess I'm one of the rare few who have two sets of 15x7 wheels for this oddball bolt pattern. Nice "problem" to have.

[rx7carl]

I ordered my Konigs last week and they shipped out. So no backorder as far as I can tell. Thanks for the heads up on the special BTW. Ive been looking for some 15x7's and these are classic wheels for our cars. :icon_tup:

[Rogue_Wulff]

NP. I got mine 6 days after ordering. I checked Konig's website, and they had both colors in Cali, and 40 more Graphite on order.
Which finish did you order?

[rx7carl]

The graphite.

[Rogue_Wulff]

Just a heads up guys, Discount tire has extended the $50 off on 4 wheels thru the end of June. This was originally set to expire at the end of April, then was extended till the end of May, and now thru June.
They also show to have the Graphite rewinds in stock at one of their warehouses. The Silver are still listed as special order.
$346 shipped is a darned good deal on new wheels.
Lets keep the sales high enough to prevent Konig from dropping them form the line up.

[rx7carl]

Mine showed up last thurs. They look sweet.

[Rogue_Wulff]

They look sweet.
Yes they do.

I guess all the complaints people have voiced about the lack of new 4x110 wheels was just idle bitching. :cuss:

[rx7carl]

I jumped at this chance. Maybe others dont have coin to spend? I dunno, but they'll be sorry later.

[Twilightoptics]

I just didn't care for the look of the rewinds or I definitely would have gone the direct bolt on route. I put on a set of Acura TL wheels with some wheel adapters and couldn't be happier.

[P71]

Yes they do.

I guess all the complaints people have voiced about the lack of new 4x110 wheels was just idle bitching. :cuss:

Dude! These have sold out. *Twice* Konig is making a killing and realizing just how big the market demand is.

[Rogue_Wulff]

Sold out twice. Huh. Well, glad I placed my order early enough to get them. No doubt, I did place the order *before* I posted anything about the deal....

I haven't yet installed the wheels, but they do have some RT615's on them, and will see action this weekend. After this weekend, they will once again be sitting my bedroom, waiting for next month's divisional event. Between events, I'll stick with my 15x7 Ronals and Kumho SPT's for daily driving.

[Rogue_Wulff]

The $50 off is still in effect.
I ran these wheels with RT615's for the divisional autox last weekend. Here's a pic from the event.

[orion84gsl]

Car looks great with those wheels. Reapint the trim around your windshield and the car will look fantastic in pictures.

[Rogue_Wulff]

Thanks.
Actually, I need to repaint the whole car. It was apparently painted by the lowest bidder. It looked good when I got it, but time hasn't been kind to it.
It's probably going to get a full refinish soon, as well as a 13B transplant.
I still prefer the Ronal's over the Konig's. Perhaps it's just because the Ronal's have been on the car since I bought it over 4 years ago, and they just seem to be natural to me.
Seriously, I think it's due to the black centers going better with the red, than the dark gray. Then again, ~25 years ago, I prefered the look of old school mags over the Crager SS wheels that were all the rage at the time. I guess I just like to show my individuality......
The Konig Rewinds work great, and would be a welcome addition to most cars sporting the stock wheels, but I just bought these for autox wheels.

[sikest1]

don't like them but they aren't that bad. I just wish I didn't wreck the Kosei K1's 4x110 that I had only one barely survived(straight but scratched up)

[Onlyonthurs]

I have had these konig rewinds on my FB since last March....damn I LOVE THEM! no issues with them what so ever. Damn good wheel and my FB looks sexy to boot :)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b398/Onlyonthurs/SANY4536.jpg

and i added a little flare to the caps :)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b398/Onlyonthurs/Rx7Sunday5.jpg

[Rogue_Wulff]

LOL. OOT, your car was part of the reason I went ahead and bought these wheels. I do have a white '83 GSL, and my boy really wants it.

BTW, DTD is once again running the $50 off special, AND they list these wheels as in stock at 2 of their warehouses.
I might wind up having to order another set.........

[Rogue_Wulff]

Bumping this thread to again say the deal is still being offered.
Under $350 shipped for new 15x7 4x110 wheels is a bargain. Currently show to be in stock at 2 of their warehouses, so no waiting!
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?bp=4-110&pc=45469&counter=1&wd=15&rw=7

BTW, DTD is also giving an $80 rebate on RT-615's. 205/50-15 $81 each, shipped. After rebate, $61 each = cheapest tire they sell in this size. Kinda like a buy 3, get one free....

[junkyard racer]

Vulcan tire has the rt-615's for $71 a pop at a 205-50-15, and when you order 4 you get $30 off...($254 total)and in GRM on page 116 of feb's magazine they are also offering free totes when you order 4 RT-615. So basically for $10 more than DTD, you are getting 4 tire totes.

DTD shipping is free.

[drive_4_thrills]

so Iam getting ready to place an order on DTD to get some konig B Bomb 15x7.5 at 0 offset. how bad is the offset for my 84 rx7 gsl-se? if i need flares would they be okay for a month? and im thinking about 205-50-15 tires. Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks :001_005:

[orion84gsl]

With that offset you'll probably be sticking out from the fender quite a bit. I say test fit them first then decide if flares are necessary.

[otterbob]

I finally sprung for a set of the Konigs after using up the last bit of tread on my x wheels. So now it's down to tires. I know 205-50's have +/- the same rolling diameter as the stock tires thereby keeping the speedometer fairly accurate but if the speedo was not a consideration, what is the max tire size usable with the Konigs that will operate in the stock wheel wells without rubbing at full steering lock and suspension deflection? Any thoughts?

[Rogue_Wulff]

Bumping this back to the top.
The $50 off on a set of 4 is still going on, so they're only $350/set shipped....http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/searchWheelsByVehicleAndSize.do?bp=&yr=1983&wd=15&rw=&vid=000555

[ChaserAero]

Ran these on my old 240s for awhile. They have seen 6 different cars and still holds the original paint I put on them.

[t_g_farrell]

I guess its inflation. He posted that last year in December.
