19" Konig Tantrums or Axis Sevens?

[Slappster]

Well I'm looking for many opinouns on my future rim purchase.
I have a 97 black gst and need help deciding between 19" silver tantrums or axis sevens. I can get the konigs from my local discount tire for $1120(tax included) or I can get the Axis' from wheelmax.com for $1950 with tires. Note that I already have one Nitto 235/35/19 tire so it would be cheaper to just get the rims. But anyways they both look nearly the same. Heres some pics of them on black 2gs.

Konig Tantrums: Look near the bottom of the thread at DCsGST car

axis sevens, but both really look good.

sevens. they aren't as common.

 

[sential]

yeah,

personally I think the tantrum is a played out rim. And there are all sorts of knock offs of that rim, so I get sick of seeing that same rim all the time. The sevens are much more original, and I personally like them better. However they are more expensive than the tantrums.

 

[Airpoppoff]

sevens, the tantrums are too muc hlike the motegni mr7's

 

[Slappster]

I figured everybody would say the tantrums are played out. I kinda agree but they are cheaper and look badass at night. I've never seen the sevens except online.

 

[AWD99GSX]

I say the Sevens too. But I like both of them. Good luck with whatever you choose. Both are very nice looking.

 

[meef]

*shrug* i like em both. maybe the tantrums more than the sevens, but they both rock. good taste in rims, iether way, bro

Seven's are much better quality rims slap nutz.

 

[98GS-TSpyder]

yea i had 18" axis se7ens on my old car, an altima, and i got compliments wherever i went. very good quality and they look better then the tantrums. too bad my eclipse is 5 lug cuz i still have the se7ens in 4 lug. too bad...

go for the se7ens!!!

 

[wastefuldreamer]

The se7ens. But whatever you choose they both look good.

If you can afford the $830 difference I would go with the Axis Sevens, but if you want the same basic look than save $830 and get the Konig's. You can use the $830 for more performance mods. Also if you don't live in an area where a lot of people have Konig's or replicas of Konig's it really doesn't matter if some people think they are played out if you don't mind saving the cash

 

[sential]

I'm not sure how much they are, but you should also check out the TSW spirit's. They are similar to the sevens, but they might be cheaper. Just a thought

 

[super95awd]

Sevens .

 

[9D9 MITSU RS]

enkei makes a similar rim to the 7's and they have a big lip on them.

Maybe I wasnt clear enough. the $830 difference is with tires. The tantrums are $270 each and the sevens are $315 + shipping.

hmm, if you had to go with either of the two, go with the se7ens. on a side note though, i see pleeeeeeennty of hondas/acuras up here with them..so they're pretty common around my area. just letting you know.

jey

I'm saying that I've seen enough cars with the Motegi MR-7's or the Konig Tantrums that it makes me sick to my stomach. For gods sake they sell the Motegi's at Pep Boys.

 

[ILLMINDED]

Yeah go with the AXIS Sevens. They look good. Better than the Tantrums.

 

[Slappster]

Well I've decided to go the more expensive route and get the sevens. The decision was quite easier after seeing tantrums on two civics today. But I have yet another question:

I have one nitto 19" tire and if I get rims/tires from wheelmax the tires will be toyo. But lets say eventually a tire blows out from my will be bad camber. Now would it be a great idea to replace that tire with the nitto that I already have. The treads I'm sure are different but perhaps If I put it on the rear it wouldnt cause any harm, except look fu(king weird.

 

[Eric_Larson]

Make sure that you get the camber correction kit. I have 19's on my 95 and I wore out the back two tires in less than 2000 miles. I don't know about you but I like to get a few more miles out of tires than that. I know that you can get the camber corrretioin kit at tirerack for a pretty reasonable price. Also a good tire is the Yokohoma Prada Spec II they are awesome tires. Let me know if you have any questions.
Good luck,
