My Konigs are pretty light (10.8 lbs) I was gonna sell them, but theres one more autocross this season, and I don't want to tear up my only winter tires. They look hot, I think I may keep them. hmmm... :happysad:
:edit: btw, the only time I've heard of somebody breaking their konigs (but boy, were they broken
) involved a 40mph curbing. Of course its gonna break.

To me, when you get a light wheel, it's best to get a high quality durable wheel.
Ex. I'd rather buy a 15" Volk that weight say- 16.5lbs rather than a Rota 15" that weights like 15lbs.
Never know when the days comes and you don't see that pot-hole or etc...
That sounds scary, grinding calipers...
Well, if you have an aftermarket big brake kit, I guess spacers would be an option... not too thick though...

The problem is with the offset. There is a caliper clearance issue with some brakes (depending on the specific p# of your calipers--might have to do with which factory made your car or something :dunno: ) But I've heard of people having to modify their calipers (grind off a mm or two) in order to get them to fit.
