If they are lighter, post them up... most will not save much weight but those that do we might want to record. My point being is this was a weight of wheels discussion. There was another one on what offsets fit.MrFish wrote:Just correcting the assertion in this thread that there is a problem with a 40mm offset.Skywagon wrote:Nice, but there is a thread for aftermarket wheels.

But no problem, pics removed.
BTW at 18lbs the Konigs are lighter than stock.

They fit perfect. (VR TE37 16x7.0 JJ PCD 114.3 Offset +33 5H BR) @ about 10.5 lbs each. (as good as it gets with my bathroom scale)TonyWilliams wrote: Won't this fit the LEAF?
16 x 7.0
Offset +33,42,48 (stock is 40mm)
(5 bolt times 4.5 inch or 114.3mm) 11.24 pounds

Just thought some might want to see those as well as they are still 5 lbs less than the stock wheels, but the increased size and tire width would hurt the efficiency/range over the stock wheels.
