I agree about the konigs probably not looking great on the TI. It seems like the MSM really needs black or "smoked" wheels of some sort. I'm not a huge fan of black wheels personally but it should look pretty sick.
Gotta ask though... What size? stick with the X8's or go with the 9's? I hope you did 9's... looks perfect. You did it on the 2000!

Dark wheels need the right car color to look good. Ti is one of those colors.
Personally I liked black wheels on my Emerald Mica, but Ms Mobius rather hated them. So buhbye.

Size? I was hoping no one would ask 
You're gonna laugh.
Then you're gonna cry.
Then you're gonna rage.
Then you're gonna hate.
I got 15x7 this time.
I've had 15x9, and I now have 15x8, and neither then nor now have I tracked any of my cars, or even really put the tires to the limit. So I said screw it, I'm gonna try 7's. Because 10LB . Also because 205's actually look meaty on em. Also because they're more comfy for DD.
Can't say I wasn't tempted to go with some x9 Jonlongdong's, I just absolutely love the look of those wheels. And the price.
Oh well

Then I just wanted to see pictars.
I don't really see the point of doing 7's instead of 8's but they'll probably be great on the street.

I seriously considered picking up a set of 6ULs in 15x7 for DD rubber, then I came to my senses and bought 15x8 and ran 205s 
Then I put 205 NT01s on my 8s and bought a set of 195s to go on the factory 6s. The 195s aren't really "bad" by any stretch of the imagination, but I really really wish I had kept the 205/8 DD rubber combo. I was heartily tempted by the 15x8 Jamalamadingdongs as well, but no one could confirm they would fit over Man Brakes™
What tire and what size will you be putting on the 7s?
Soviet is still running 8s and 205 Star Specs on the Red Rocket, correct?
