not digging those, if you like the design of the spokes you might want to consider the 5zigen fn01-rcs or whatever they're called, sweet looking wheel and not as cheesy looking in my opinion, The spokes bow out nicely at the lip, a set of these staggered would look sick as heckfire if you ask me

That's the point though, I have yet to see a "loud" wheel look good on the 8, it just seems like it would take the focus off the car and everyone would be gawking at your wheels instead of marveling at your car as a whole. The zigens in a silver or even in a black with polished lip would look awesome and really help highlight the lines etc. Of course that's just my take, if you're wanting something that screams out at you like the Konigs then more power to you

I don't like how they look on the 6, I don't think they will look good on the 8. The spokes are too thin for my taste.

HELLO, are you guys braindead? do you guys know what konig is????? the difference between konig and 5zigen is day and night, 5zigen is a real high quality japanese performance wheel company konig makes piece of **** cheap pep boys sold wheels. the 5zigens are made of signifincantly better materials, is much lighter and much better made.

those wheels look kinda like a jester's hat... i'd pick 5zigen over konig anyway... and i would pick volks over any other rim out!! Volks are the best looking IMO.

Volks are nice, I wouldn't pick them over anything else though. There's just too many bad **** rims (both looks wise and quality wise, there's CCW, HRE, etc. etc.) out there to limit choices to one brand

well i like to keep japanese products for japanese cars and use european products for european cars so i wouldn't use HRE on a japanese car.

RAYS wheel company overall is my favorite though(this includes Volk Racing which is one of RAYS wheel lines)
