New 15x7, 15x8, 15x9 on the block. (Finally)
So I was crusing through the web searching for my 15x9 options. Came up with the usual rota(no thanks), 949(seen way too many crack) and the tire rack wheel(is literally 16lbs)..
I then came across something kinda awesome! A Konig 15x9! I am really excited about this since I have been racing my 15x8 Konig Wideopens for a long long time and have never had any issues with them. Below I found the images linked from Konigs Facebook.
I also looked up RRF and it seems TSW, Forgestar, and several other high end manufacturers use this process. Well I called Goodwin and put a set of the 15x8s and 15x9s on back order. ETA is late January!
"Konig Dial In. This is the first 15" RRF Flow Formed wheel offering from Konig. That means it will be lighter, stronger and offers properties similar to those found in forged wheels. Will be available in 15x7, 15x8, 15x9 and offered in Matte grey and gloss black."
"Advanti Racing USA Storm S1 (RRF) 15x7, 15x8, 15x9 - Matte Graphite [Shown] and Matte Black [Aggressive Offsets Available] "
Current setup forsale if anyone is interested

Nice to have more choices in sizes we need! I wish the designs looked a bit better. The Konig had good potential but then the designer took some ecstasy and went nuts on the center of the wheel.

I think the Advanti would look good on a NB.

I run Hoosier on my 15x8 +20 offset Konigs currently with zero fender modifications with an aggressive??(225 45 15s). What exactly classifies a wheel as junk? I have had my wheels through hell and back running slicks for years and haven't ever had an issue. My 949 wheels sketched me out seeing people snapping them so I would classify that wheel in the realm of junk but it seems like there are plenty of people on here who will smoke 949s pole.

Hehe, think about a company that has a very strange and hard to pronounce name, and you'll know who I have been working with.
We are finalizing the details, design, fitment, and pricing now. I hope to bring you guys something in the next 4 weeks.
They will be competitively priced and lightweight, flow-formed, and fit over the popular BBKs.
