Ordered These Bad Boys... - Raypro - 06-03-2008
Ordered some Konig Unknown rims just to be told 2 weeks later they are out of stock everywhere so I ordered these bad boys...has anyone seen these on a Focus? How do you think it will look on a black '05 Focus ST?

I like the black highlights but I can't tell how shiny the rims will actually be from those pics...

Nice rim..not too crazy about the placement of the "Konig" tag.

looks like you'll be able to take it off with an allen key though

on the Konig site it says the wheels are Gloss Black W/ Machine Face, from the picture they look chromed out? What actually does Machine face mean? I want some nice blingy rims :)

"Machined Face" means that the areas that are not painted are just left machined (CNC finish cut) with a clear coat applied to maintain a fairly decent shine. I think it's the cheapest way to finish a rim while still having an OK apperance. The clearcoat will peel over time (personal experience) and then it's time to strip it all sand out the light machining, and give yourself a polished lip. Time consuming, but done properly it looks way better than a machined lip ever will. Once I have time/become more forum savvy I will post a couple before and after.

just my opinion...but wheels that try to look flashy just end up looking trashy.. and small brakes and big wheels look weird
there's a pic of here of someone who has stock 14" steelies, painted wheel covers and RT615 tires. i'd rather have that setup on my vehicle that the wheels you posted
again, just my opinion
Ordered These Bad Boys... - SVTHREE - 06-06-2008
If you're gonna take the tags off make sure you do it before you get wheels balanced. It might not be an issue, but better safe than sorry.

different strokes for different folks I guess.
I'd rather have the rims above than wheels with painted hubcaps. IMO, that looks much 'trashier' than a nice set of rims.
No offence to lgSPI.
