Default Wheel recommendations...

I love the Konig Tantrums, but I'm hearing they bend very easily. Right now I have 17" Enkei shoguns that I have ben very happy with. And the tires are still in mint shape so I would liek to stay with 17's. Any suggestions? Something thats durable yet nice looking And under $1000!

You could probably get a set of decent RH wheels for under 1k (w/o tires that is). Check out www.wheeloptions.com to see what they could do for ya.

I'm stuck.. I like the Rota Circuit 8, but they only come in 16". I love 17's even though most of you prefer 16. Eventually I will get 16's when I start to get serious about draggin, but until then? Plus I already have 17" tires in mint condition. Toyo Proxies. So it's either the Konig's or the subzero's? Opinions? I think the Konigs look much better, but I heard a few bad things about them.

I dont know off the top of my head. Maybe the rim/tire combo is like 46 lbs?? I think that number sounds familiar from the shipping weight
