Konigs arent that cheap. My car is black and will prolly remain that color for a long time so I think they would look badass ( black and chrome always do). In response to them breaking..I've seen lots of wheels from different brands break/bend/crack..so I wouldn't pass judgement on one brand when lots do it. As long as I stay away from curbs and don't plow over speedbumps I think I'll be good. In the meantime...my car is in the shop getting some engine work done. So I'll probably order them next week.

exactly, they aren't cheap, they're made cheaply into gaudy god awful designs and then marked up to high heaven. they're single piece gravity cast from poor quality alloys, their price does not reflect the quality at all. expensive things can be total **** too.
