Konig’s Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions

Top 10 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Konig Wheels

At Konig Wheels, we’re passionate about performance, innovation, and delivering the best possible experience to our customers. We get asked a lot of questions—from wheel fitment to warranties—and today, we’re answering the top ten questions we receive from enthusiasts like you. Whether you’re prepping your ride for the track or simply looking to upgrade your daily driver, we’ve got the answers to help you get rolling.

1. Do you make wheels that fit my M3?

This is by far one of the most common questions we receive, and the answer is probably, yes! We offer a wide range of wheels designed to fit a variety of vehicles, including your BMW M3. You can check out our fitment options on our social media channels, where we showcase specific models with wheels from our collection. For in-depth insights, head over to our YouTube series, “Fact Check,” where we break down all the fitment options for different cars. Still unsure? Feel free to DM or email us with your vehicle details, and we’ll help confirm the best fit.

2. Will your wheels clear my brakes?

Brake clearance is a big deal, especially for those with aftermarket kits. While we design our wheels to clear most standard brake setups, custom kits can complicate things. Send us your brake template via DM or email, and one of our experts will compare it with the wheels you’re interested in to ensure proper clearance. We make sure your wheels not only look great but function flawlessly with your setup.

3. Can you make a wheel in a specific spec or finish?

Yes, we can create wheels in custom specs and finishes, but it’s important to understand that producing a one-off wheel can involve additional time and cost. Our wheels are affordably priced because we produce them in larger quantities for popular vehicles. If you’re looking for a unique finish, many customers choose to have their wheels powder-coated or painted to achieve the exact look they want. This approach keeps costs down while still allowing for customization.

4. Where can I buy Konig wheels?

We’ve built an extensive dealer network worldwide, making it easy for you to find Konig wheels. Simply visit our Dealer Locator to find a dealer near you. Whether you’re in the U.S. or overseas, our partners are ready to help you select the perfect set of wheels for your vehicle.

5. Can Konig wheels be used on the track?

Absolutely! From grassroots motorsports to professional racing, Konig wheels are engineered to perform under the most demanding conditions. We take feedback from our motorsports teams to continuously refine our designs, ensuring that our wheels are track-ready and battle-tested. Whether you’re racing in weekend events or competing at a high level, you can count on Konig wheels to deliver optimal performance.

6. Does Konig make forged wheels?

Yes, we now offer a forged wheel line! This year, we introduced two new forged models—the F1M and the F3S. Our forged wheels feature increased durability to withstand the stresses of repeated use, along with details like knurled bead seats to prevent tire slippage, flat aluminum O-ring center caps, and engraved CNC details. Plus, they’re incredibly lightweight, with some 18-inch wheels weighing as little as 16.5 pounds! Check out the full lineup on our Forged Wheels page.

7. What wheels do the AROCOVER fit?

The AROCOVER is an optional accessory designed specifically for the Mach 1 wheel. Currently, it is not compatible with any other Konig models. However, we are always exploring future designs that could incorporate the same features, so stay tuned for updates. For now, if you want the AROCOVER, the Mach 1 is the way to go.

8. Does Konig offer sponsorships?

Yes, we do offer sponsorships! If you’re interested in applying, we recommend checking out our YouTube series, where we break down everything you need to know about sponsorships—whether it’s with Konig or another brand. Sponsorships are a partnership, meaning we’re looking for individuals who can provide value in return. Whether you’re a seasoned driver, a social media influencer, or have high-level media production skills, let us know what you can bring to the table. It’s about a mutually beneficial relationship, so be ready to showcase what makes you a great partner. Click HERE to apply for Sponsorships.

9. Do your wheels come with a warranty?

Yes, all Konig wheels come with a one-year finish warranty and a lifetime structural warranty. That means if there’s a manufacturing defect, we’ve got you covered. However, keep in mind that road hazards like potholes aren’t covered under warranty. Wheels are tough, but they’re still metal—not magic. Always drive smart and stay mindful of the road conditions to keep your wheels in top shape.

10. Where are Konig wheels made?

Konig is a manufacturer, not just an importer. Our parent company operates factories in Taiwan, Malaysia, and Suzhou, China. These facilities not only produce Konig wheels but also build wheels for many other well-known brands. This means we maintain control over the entire production process—from quality control to testing and cleanliness—ensuring that every wheel meets our high standards. And don’t worry about differences in quality across locations; our factories all adhere to the same strict guidelines, ensuring consistency no matter where the wheels are produced.

Track Side ToolBox Tour // Formula Drift / Taylor Hull

Experience the Track Side Toolbox Tour with Formula Drift Driver Taylor Hull

Get ready to step behind the scenes with Taylor Hull, the powerhouse driver of the Comp Cams Corvette, proudly rolling on Konig Wheels. Taylor takes you on an exclusive tour under the canopy, where precision meets performance. This is more than just a pit stop—it’s a masterclass in what it takes to stay ahead in the high-stakes world of Formula Drift.

Elevate Your Game: The Ultimate Pit Setup

Taylor invites you into a moment of transformation. The team is in the midst of upgrading their trailer setup, spares, and storage, pushing the boundaries of efficiency and performance. With every component laid out, it’s clear: this isn’t just about racing—it’s about mastering the art of preparation. From wires and valves to control arms and coilovers, each spare part is meticulously organized, ensuring that everything is within arm’s reach when it counts.

The Power of Spares: Ready for Anything

In the world of Formula Drift, unpredictability is the only certainty. Taylor’s team embodies this truth with a strategy built on redundancy and resilience. A spare transmission is being swapped back in after a successful rebuild, exemplifying the team’s commitment to keeping their machine in peak condition. It’s not just about having spares; it’s about having the right spares—like the quick-change rear differential and a stockpile of Konig Wheels and tires, ready to take on the rigors of the track.

Precision Tools for Precision Racing

The heart of the operation lies in the meticulously organized pit box. Every tool has its place, from screwdrivers and wrenches to sockets and catch-all drawers. In the heat of competition, there’s no time to waste, and this mobile workshop ensures that Taylor’s team is always prepared. Whether it’s a routine adjustment or a race-saving repair, the tools are ready, and the team knows exactly where to find them.

Fueled by Power: The Heart of the Beast

Taking a closer look at the car itself, Taylor reveals the power that propels his Corvette—an 1100-horsepower monster equipped with a Magnuson TVS2650 LS3/LSA supercharger. This isn’t just an engine; it’s a testament to engineering excellence, with every part upgraded for strength and durability. From titanium valves to a completely aftermarket build, this car is designed to dominate the track. And of course, it rolls on Konig Wheels, ensuring that all that power translates to precision and performance on the tarmac.

Konig Wheels: The Foundation of Performance

Taylor’s Corvette features a unique wheel setup, tailored for optimal performance. With a Heliogram 18×8.5 setup in the front and 18×10.5 in the back, these wheels are more than just functional—they’re a key part of the team’s strategy. The decision to convert the rear to a 5×114.3 bolt pattern speaks to the importance of versatility and consistency. With this setup, the team can quickly adapt to any situation, ensuring they’re always ready to race.

The Road Ahead: Bigger, Better, Faster

As Taylor wraps up the tour, he teases the next evolution in their setup. With a new trailer on the horizon, the team is gearing up for even greater efficiency and organization. It’s a continuous journey of improvement, a relentless pursuit of perfection that mirrors the spirit of Formula Drift itself.

Stay tuned for more insights and behind-the-scenes access as Taylor Hull and his team continue to push the limits of what’s possible on the track. Follow Taylor on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube to keep up with their journey and witness firsthand the power and performance of Konig Wheels in action.

Top 5 // Aftermarket Wheels / The Benefits for Track Use

Top 5 reasons to use aftermarket wheels for track use

Are you a seasoned track enthusiast or just dipping your toes into the world of high-performance driving? If so, you’ve probably considered upgrading your vehicle’s wheels. While stock wheels may suffice for daily driving, they often fall short when it comes to the demands of the track. Let’s explore the top five reasons why aftermarket wheels are a game-changer for serious performance drivers.

1. Style and Personalization

One of the most obvious benefits of aftermarket wheels is the ability to customize your vehicle’s appearance. Stock wheels can often feel generic and lack personality. With aftermarket options, you can choose from a vast array of styles, finishes, and sizes to create a truly unique look that reflects your personal taste. Whether you prefer a sleek, minimalist design or a bold, aggressive aesthetic, there’s an aftermarket wheel out there to suit your style. Wink. Wink. We’ve got a couple for you to choose from, HERE.

2. Weight Reduction

Reducing unsprung weight is crucial for improving a vehicle’s handling and performance on the track. Aftermarket wheels are often made from lighter materials, such as FORGED aluminum, which can significantly reduce the weight compared to stock wheels. This weight savings can translate to better acceleration, braking, and cornering capabilities.

3. Improved Tire Fitment

Factory wheels may have limitations when it comes to accommodating high-performance tires. Aftermarket wheels offer greater flexibility in terms of offset, width, and bolt pattern, allowing you to run the ideal tire size and profile for your specific needs. This can enhance traction, grip, and overall performance on the track.

4. Enhanced Durability and Longevity

Aftermarket wheels are typically constructed using superior manufacturing processes, such as flow forming or forging, which result in a stronger and more durable product. These methods help to improve the wheel’s resistance to stress and fatigue, making them better suited for the rigors of track driving. By investing in high-quality aftermarket wheels, you can reduce the risk of damage and costly repairs.

5. Cost Savings and Wheel Preservation

If you frequently take your vehicle to the track, it’s wise to consider a dedicated set of wheels specifically designed for that purpose. This can help protect your stock wheels from damage and maintain their resale value. Additionally, replacing a damaged aftermarket wheel may be more cost-effective than repairing or replacing a stock wheel.

In conclusion, upgrading to aftermarket wheels can offer a multitude of benefits for serious track enthusiasts. From improved performance and durability to enhanced style and personalization, the advantages are clear. By carefully considering your specific needs and preferences, you can select the perfect set of aftermarket wheels to elevate your driving experience and maximize your vehicle’s potential on the track.
