Konig Wheels

Konig wheels suit tuned hatches, small sports cars and track-day drivers who want a light, sporty wheel. There are 43 listings from $357, in 15, 17 and 18-inch sizes.

The -gram family and friends

• Hypergram: matte grey, metallic carbon with a machined lip, or race bronze.
• Ampliform: dark metallic graphite or gloss bronze.
• Dekagram: semi-matte black or gloss bronze.
• Countergram: hyper chrome with a mirror-machined lip.
• Ultragram and Oversteer: smaller runs to round out the range.

Which cars Konig suits

• 15-inch, mostly 4x100: fits small cars such as the NA, NB and ND Mazda MX-5 and the Honda Jazz.
• 17 and 18-inch, mostly 5x114.3 and 5x112: suits Japanese and European hatches and sedans.
• Load ratings of 500 to 700 kg: right for light cars, not SUVs or utes.

Before you buy

• Offset and clearance. Konig offsets run from +24 to +45. On a lowered car, a lower offset or wider rim can bring the tyre close to the guard lip.
• Brakes. Upgraded brakes may not clear a 15-inch wheel. Check before you order.
• Track use. Check wheel nuts and tyre pressures after every session. Heat and load can change both.
• Tyre choice. A light wheel pairs best with a tyre that suits how hard you drive.

Using Konig wheels on track days

• Torque the nuts. Check them before each session and again afterwards, once the wheels have cooled.
• Watch tyre pressures. Pressures rise as tyres heat up. Set them cold and check between sessions.
• Inspect the wheels. Look for cracks or kerb damage after hard use, especially on the inner barrel.
• Keep a road set. Many drivers run a separate set of wheels and tyres for track days.

A light wheel helps on track, but only if it's set up and checked properly.

Common questions

Why choose a lighter wheel?

Less weight at each corner helps the suspension work and the car respond. You notice it most on small cars and on twisty roads.

Will Konig wheels fit an SUV?

No. Their load ratings are made for light cars, so look at our SUV range instead.

Do Konig wheels fit a Honda Jazz?

Several 15-inch Konig wheels are 4x100, the pattern on the Jazz. Check the offset and bore for your model year.
