why would you do that?

First off, I couldn't find Rotas online. Maybe that sounds weird, but after doing a simple Google search, I found nothing that looked reputable. Secondly, I really liked whalentire.com's website design. It looked and felt professional...the people were friendly too.

I had also priced out the same wheels from other websites. Couldn't find any better deals, so I went with the Konigs from Whalen Tire....There you have it.

(Of course, no one really knows the difference)

i thought the 205/40/17 is really small? and would wear out fast? or is that the best? would 215/45/17 rub?

215/45 will almost gaurantee rubbing if your cars been lowered...which im sure it is since you have coilovers.

no i meant, why would you want to swap out konig for rota caps? rota isnt any better nor vice versa.... and neither company made the original design... thats why i was just asking why the switch instead of just keeping the konig cap....:dunno:
