Konig Flow Forming Technology
The Konig Hypergram utilizes advanced Flow Forming Technology, a manufacturing process designed to improve wheel strength while reducing unnecessary weight.
Flow forming begins with a cast aluminum wheel that is placed on specialized machinery. The wheel is rotated while heat and pressure are applied to the barrel.
This process stretches and compresses the aluminum material, refining its structure and allowing the barrel to achieve its final dimensions.
Flow forming provides several performance advantages:
Reduced wheel weight compared with many traditional cast wheel designs.
Improved barrel strength characteristics.
Increased tensile strength.
Enhanced material elongation properties.
Improved resistance to impact and deformation.
Efficient material distribution.
Lightweight construction suitable for performance-oriented applications.
Although flow forming shares certain characteristics with forging, the Hypergram is a Flow Formed wheel, not a fully forged wheel.
This manufacturing process allows Konig to offer lightweight performance-oriented wheels while maintaining a practical price point.
Lightweight 12-Spoke Design
The Hypergram features a distinctive 12-spoke design inspired by motorsport wheel construction.
The spoke arrangement creates an open appearance that emphasizes the wheel's lightweight design while providing visibility of the vehicle's brake components.
Its angular spoke geometry adds definition and creates a modern performance-oriented appearance.
The Hypergram's design is particularly appealing for enthusiasts seeking a wheel that complements functional suspension, brake, and tire upgrades.
Premium Race Bronze Finish
The HG86514388 features Konig's distinctive Race Bronze finish.
The bronze color provides a premium motorsport-inspired appearance that complements a wide variety of exterior colors.
Race Bronze offers an alternative to conventional black and silver wheels while emphasizing the Hypergram's angular 12-spoke design.
This finish is popular among enthusiasts building performance-oriented street cars, track-inspired vehicles, and custom Honda or Acura projects.
15.25 lb Lightweight Construction
At approximately 15.25 lbs, the 16x8 Hypergram offers lightweight construction for its dimensions.
Reducing wheel weight can provide benefits when replacing heavier factory wheels, including:
Reduced unsprung mass.
Reduced rotational mass.
Potential improvements in suspension responsiveness.
Potential improvements in steering response.
More responsive acceleration and braking characteristics when compared with heavier wheel and tire combinations.
Actual performance differences depend on the weight, tire selection, and specifications of the original wheel and tire package.
16x8 +38 Wheel Fitment
The 16x8-inch configuration provides a versatile platform for appropriately sized street and performance tires.
The +38mm offset determines the wheel's mounting position relative to its centerline and affects both inner suspension clearance and outer fender clearance.
Compared with an otherwise identical +45mm offset wheel, the +38mm configuration positions the wheel approximately 7mm farther outward.
This can provide a more aggressive wheel position but increases the importance of checking tire and fender clearance.
Potential installation considerations include:
Factory or aftermarket suspension clearance.
Brake caliper and rotor clearance.
Tire width and sidewall selection.
Fender clearance.
Steering clearance.
Alignment and camber settings.
Hub-centric ring requirements.
Vehicle-specific tire diameter requirements.
Proper fitment should always be confirmed before installation.
73.1mm Center Bore
The Hypergram HG86514388 features a 73.1mm center bore.
Vehicles with smaller hub diameters may require appropriately sized hub-centric rings to help center the wheel during installation.
Hub-centric rings do not correct an incompatible bolt pattern, incorrect lug hardware, or insufficient brake clearance.
Conical-Seat Lug Hardware Compatibility
The Konig Hypergram is designed for compatible conical-seat acorn-style lug hardware.
Properly matched lug nuts or bolts are essential for safe wheel installation.
Before mounting, verify the wheel's required lug seat profile, the vehicle's thread size, and the necessary thread engagement.
Factory lug hardware may not be compatible with aftermarket wheels.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Compatibility
The Hypergram supports compatible tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors.
Vehicles originally equipped with TPMS may require transferring compatible sensors from the factory wheels or installing replacement sensors.
Sensor compatibility and programming requirements vary by vehicle.
Wheel Load Rating
The HG86514388 has a published 1,521 lb load rating per wheel.
This rating represents the maximum specified load capacity for the individual wheel.
Before installation, verify that the wheel's load rating meets the vehicle's applicable axle load requirements.
Brake Clearance Considerations
The Hypergram's open 12-spoke design was developed with performance applications in mind and can accommodate various brake configurations.
However, the 16-inch diameter places important limitations on brake clearance.
Compatibility with larger factory calipers or aftermarket big brake kits depends on the specific caliper, rotor diameter, wheel barrel profile, and spoke clearance.
Always verify brake clearance using an appropriate manufacturer-approved brake template before purchasing.
Race Bronze Finish Care
The Race Bronze finish should be maintained using cleaning products suitable for painted and clear-coated aluminum wheels.
Avoid harsh acidic cleaners, abrasive polishing compounds, and aggressive brushes that may damage the finish.
Regular cleaning helps remove brake dust, road grime, and other contaminants while preserving the wheel's appearance.

Installation Notes
Verify Bolt Pattern: Confirm that the vehicle uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
Check Wheel Dimensions: Ensure the 16x8 +38 configuration is appropriate for the vehicle.
Confirm Center Bore Compatibility: Determine whether hub-centric rings are required.
Verify Brake Clearance: Confirm that the 16-inch wheel diameter and barrel profile clear the vehicle's brake calipers and rotors.
Inspect Suspension Clearance: Ensure sufficient clearance around struts, coilovers, control arms, and related components.
Check Fender Clearance: Verify that the wheel and tire combination will not contact the fenders during steering or suspension compression.
Select Compatible Tires: Use tire sizes approved for an 8-inch-wide wheel and appropriate for the vehicle.
Use Proper Lug Hardware: Install compatible conical-seat acorn-style lug nuts or bolts with the correct thread specifications.
Inspect Hub Mounting Surfaces: Clean corrosion and debris from the wheel mounting surfaces.
Install Hub-Centric Rings if Required: Use appropriately sized rings when the wheel center bore is larger than the vehicle's hub.
Install TPMS Sensors: Use compatible tire pressure monitoring sensors where required.
Mount and Balance Tires: Have tires professionally installed and balanced.
Torque Lug Hardware: Follow the vehicle manufacturer's specified tightening sequence and torque requirements.
Install the Center Cap: Secure the supplied Konig center cap according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Verify Final Fitment: Check wheel and tire clearance throughout the required suspension and steering travel.
Recheck Lug Torque: Follow the applicable wheel and vehicle manufacturer recommendations after initial driving.
Maintain the Finish: Clean using wheel-safe products suitable for painted and clear-coated aluminum wheels.
Important: Additional components such as hub-centric rings, aftermarket lug nuts, extended wheel studs, or spacers may be required depending on the vehicle. All supporting hardware must be selected for the specific application.
