Yeah he's neg'd me before.

I would LOVE to have real wheels...bottom line is, I cannot afford it. I would rather spend my money on my family. So I spend my 500 bucks and have rims that are light weight and look nice. I can bank that 900 and pay for Christmas!

exactly. wtf is that BS about, oh well there wasnt any reps then ppl would save for the real thing. i honestly dont care wtf anyone buys for THEIR car. reps or the real deal, who really cares, its THEIR car. I too would love some Mugen NR's on my Fit but i know i cant afford it. i'll probly be buying Rota's or XXR's or something. wheels are wheels. you got mugens, awesome! you got reps, good! the only thing i have a problem with is when ppl try to pass off knock offs as the the real thing, then theres a problem, Lieing.

How much were they gonna charge for that?

All I know is, I have +45 with ZERO rubbing...and I am pretty flush in the front.
205/50/16's

I think 45 in the front and 40 in the back would look awesome...but then rotating would be annoying.

ooops sorry... it's to +44


Called you about wheels on my GE10 Fit with a 1.2"/1.0 drop. I'm really liking the Konig but are +40s... do you offer lathe jobs to offset a +40 to +45?

Thanks
Hi,

We can have them machined to a +44mm offset if you'd like. Would you like to go ahead and order a set?

Thanks,

That was the end of it as I went with Works and forgot to ask JLB of the final price. As it is, the Konig is just a little over $400/set shipped. The Machining should not cost more than $100 on all four IMO. Wheels like konig and rota are machine/lathe friendly to some extent without compromised structural integrity.
