If you have scrolled around our website and seen “A” or “B” next to our sizes you probably wonder “what does that mean?” A & B profiles are a Konig specific designation for labeling wheel spoke profiles. For most of our flow formed wheels we offer them in two spoke profiles, A & B.
“A” Profile
“A” profile wheels are our standard face wheel that will have a flatter spoke profile. The benefits of an “A” profile wheel are that they:
• Come in a larger range of sizes
• Fit more vehicles
• Have higher offsets
• Have more brake clearance
These wheels will typically be offer in a 9.5″ width and narrower. What if you want to run a narrower wheel but want a more concave spoke profile design? It is not very practical to design a wheel at a narrower width and a concave face. The result would be a wheel that will be the improper spec for many vehicles and not offer adequate brake clearance for many vehicles.
“B” Profile
“B” profile wheels are something that we offer on our flow formed line. These wheels will be the variant to our “A” profile wheels. These wheels will have a more concave spoke profile giving the wheel an even more aggressive look. The benefits for the “B” profile wheels are:
• Have a more aesthetically pleasing design
• Great for staggered setups
• Great for vehicles with wide body kits
• Still has adequate brake clearance when offered at a wider width
• Lower offsets available
These wheels are typically offered at a 10″ wheel or wider. We understand that many people want to run a concave wheel but can’t run a wide wheel. We try to offer as many models as possible with the most aggressive designs as possible. We offer models such as our Ampliform, Dekagram, Ultragram and Tandem in “B” profile starting as low as 9.5″ width.
