Konig reviews

So i'm looking at a set of Konig Feathers in 15x6.5" and Flat Black finish. A godzilla sized pothole has bent two of my stock rims and bruised a tire. I'm not a baller and can't afford Volks/SSRs/Mugen/Enkei wheels. I've read some horror stories on Konig Heliums on several other forums, but only good things about the feathers.
I'm just worried that a good price and light weight means a poor wheel.

Here's a link to the official Feather page: Wheels, Racing Accessories and Exhaust Systems - Konig Wheels

I just wanna make a good decision based on truthful information.

I hadn't heard anything bad about the Konig Heliums, so I just got a set in bronze. I was thinking about the Feathers, but it was too big of a difference in offset to me.

I have Konig Trafficks(advan RG copies) on my MKIII supra and the only problem I had with them was when I took the car camping(my bad). But i'd recomend them.

For those in FL, buy your groceries from only one place, and it begins with a P.
