Konig Flow Forming Technology
The Konig Countergram utilizes advanced Flow Forming Technology, a manufacturing process that improves the mechanical characteristics of the wheel barrel while minimizing unnecessary material weight.
During manufacturing, a cast aluminum wheel blank is rotated while specialized rollers apply pressure to form the barrel into its final dimensions.
This process helps improve the material properties of the barrel and allows for efficient weight distribution.
Potential advantages include:
Reduced weight compared with many conventional cast wheel designs.
Improved barrel strength characteristics.
Improved tensile properties.
Reduced unsprung mass when replacing heavier wheels.
Reduced rotational mass.
Responsive performance-oriented construction.
The Countergram is a Flow Formed wheel, not a fully forged wheel.
Distinctive Countergram Styling
The Countergram features a sculpted split-spoke design that combines contemporary styling with motorsport-inspired influences.
Its spoke arrangement creates a visually detailed wheel face while retaining the lightweight construction benefits associated with Konig's Flow Formed wheel collection.
This design complements a wide variety of performance vehicles and aftermarket suspension configurations.
Lightweight Performance Construction
Wheel weight plays an important role in overall vehicle performance.
Reducing unnecessary wheel mass can help improve suspension responsiveness and reduce rotational inertia when compared with heavier wheel and tire combinations.
Potential benefits include:
Improved suspension response.
Reduced unsprung mass.
Reduced rotational inertia.
More responsive steering characteristics.
Improved acceleration and braking response compared with heavier wheel packages.
Actual improvements depend on the original wheel weight, tire selection, and vehicle configuration.
Wheel Offset and Fitment
Wheel offset determines how far inward or outward a wheel sits relative to the vehicle's hub mounting surface.
Correct offset selection is essential for maintaining proper suspension clearance, brake clearance, and fender fitment.
Before installing the Countergram, verify the exact wheel width, diameter, offset, bolt pattern, and center bore against the vehicle's specifications.
Performance Tire Compatibility
The Countergram is designed to accommodate appropriately sized performance tires.
Tire selection should account for:
Wheel diameter and width.
Tire manufacturer's approved rim-width range.
Vehicle suspension configuration.
Overall tire diameter.
Fender and suspension clearance.
Intended street or motorsport use.
Hub-Centric Ring Compatibility
Depending on the vehicle's hub diameter, hub-centric rings may be required to properly center the wheel during installation.
Hub-centric rings must match both the wheel's center bore and the vehicle's hub diameter.
Lug Hardware Compatibility
Aftermarket wheels require properly matched lug nuts or bolts.
Always verify lug seat design, thread size, and thread engagement before installation.
Factory Honda and Acura ball-seat lug nuts generally should not be reused with wheels requiring conical-seat hardware.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Compatibility
The Countergram supports compatible tire pressure monitoring system sensors.
Vehicles equipped with TPMS may require transferring factory sensors or installing compatible aftermarket replacements.
Brake Clearance Considerations
The Countergram's spoke and barrel design may accommodate various factory and aftermarket brake systems.
However, wheel diameter and bolt pattern alone do not guarantee brake clearance.
Always verify compatibility with the specific brake package before installation.
Finish Care
Maintain the wheel finish using non-abrasive cleaners suitable for painted and clear-coated aluminum wheels.
Avoid harsh acidic chemicals, abrasive brushes, and aggressive polishing compounds.
Regular cleaning helps preserve the wheel's appearance and remove accumulated brake dust and road contaminants.
