Thinking I might have found my next set of rims

OK, so I was just going thru my wheel mags, and I find a wheel that I've fallen in love w/ its the Konig After Burner in black. What do you guys think. I think the way the lip looks would accent my titanium exhaust tips

they ok, but know that those are volk knock offs.
volk came out with their titanium lip TEs a few years back. expensive but real nice

if you dont have a problem with rollin on knock offs... then go for it. just wanted to give you a heads up tho

Yeah, I know they are knock offs, but I'm broke, and I can get a deal so that I can be a dealer for these wheels, I haven't found a wholesaler for Volks

I'd more worried about curbing them, how hard will it be to fix them if that happens? I actually hate most of the Konig designs, but those are pretty clean looking, probably look pretty dope on the right color 8.

i like the type as well...Konigs still bend easily? I bought them a few years back and bent 2 of them fairly fast. That was a PITA. Nice wheel though

Where the heck do you get those rims with the prism effect? I am assuming they are super pricey? What kind of material/finish is that? Am I running out of questions>?

Edit: This was primarily asked towards n_rider, cuz those wheels look amazing.

i think it is like an additional $100 or so to get the coating over the normal looking ones.. i would ask a few wheel dealers.
