Anyway perhaps I was being unclear, or perhaps one should read carefuly before they reply...

Either way, I am in no way hating on your wheels panda. It's not like you're sticking Ray's stickers on them and trying to pretend they are something they're not. They're good looking wheels and you should keep them. All I was trying to say is know what they are and enjoy them for that.

I am not aware of Konig Feathers being based off of another wheel, but even if they were I have accepted that they are not expensive wheels. As such, I will probably have more issues w/ them down the road. However, I'm ok w/ that, and if you are too panda: KEEP THEM!

I'm not hating on reps (in this case) but being a college student isn't a valid excuse for reps, at least that's what I'm saying here.

I will say, I hate rep parts with a passion.

Buy what you want. Its there for a reason. The argument about real vs fake never ends. Your money. Your budget. Your taste. Who's cares. Just don't fake the funk.

Seriously, don't waste money modifying you car. Use that money to keep yourself out of debt, get yourself an internship or put it towards something usefull. It's a fine car in stock form and I highly adivse that you don't needlessly dump your income into a perfectly reliable car.

You're going to need money for moving, getting started, interviews, and lots of other things that are WAAAAAAAY more important than some stupid wheels which are only going to make your car slower and hurt your gas mileage.

I've been there, I know you've got a bunch of "that would be cool if.." ideas in your head now. Trust me, it's not that cool, save your money. Focus on getting an internship and building your resume. Modifying you car will benefity you exactly ZERO in the future. Once you have an established job, and disposable income, THEN modify at will. At this point, it's just a waste of resources.

Anyways, not trying to lecture you, just speaking from experience.


Car looks good, don't worry about the wheels.

either one would look great. What kind of paint are you using? You can do a mock up with plastidip with silver metalizer. Im not sure but I think you can spray over plastidip also and just peel it off later.

Imagine a 16 foot or 17 foot wheel, would take quite a bit of torque to get those moving.
