Konig Flow Forming Technology

The Konig Hypergram utilizes advanced Flow Forming Technology, a manufacturing process designed to improve wheel strength characteristics while reducing unnecessary weight.

Flow forming begins with a cast aluminum wheel blank that is placed on specialized machinery. The wheel is rotated while forming rollers apply pressure to the barrel, stretching and compressing the aluminum into its final shape.

This process improves the mechanical properties of the wheel barrel while allowing efficient material distribution.

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.

• Efficient material distribution.

• Reduced unsprung mass when replacing heavier wheels.

• Reduced rotational mass.

• 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.

Its angular spoke geometry creates an aggressive appearance while maintaining an open layout that provides visibility of the vehicle's brake components.

The spoke arrangement emphasizes the wheel's performance-oriented design and complements vehicles equipped with upgraded suspension, brakes, and tires.

The Hypergram's styling is particularly appealing for enthusiasts seeking a functional wheel design without sacrificing appearance.

Premium Metallic Carbon with Machined Lip Finish

The HG98514356 features Konig's distinctive Metallic Carbon with Machined Lip finish.

Unlike conventional single-color wheels, this finish combines a dark metallic carbon-colored wheel face with a contrasting machined aluminum outer lip.

The Metallic Carbon portion provides a deep, refined appearance that highlights the Hypergram's angular 12-spoke geometry.

The machined lip adds a brighter metallic accent around the outer edge of the wheel, creating visual contrast and emphasizing its 18-inch diameter.

This two-tone finish provides several styling advantages:

• Dark metallic wheel face with a premium appearance.

• Contrasting machined outer lip.

• Enhanced definition of the 12-spoke design.

Actual performance differences depend on the weight and specifications of the original wheel and tire package.

18x9.5 +35 Wheel Fitment

The 18x9.5-inch configuration provides a wide platform for appropriately sized street and performance tires.

The +35mm 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 +25mm offset wheel, the +35mm configuration positions the wheel approximately 10mm farther inward.

This may improve outer fender clearance while reducing inner suspension 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.

A-Profile Wheel Configuration

The HG98514356 uses Konig's A-Profile configuration.

The Hypergram is offered in different spoke profiles depending on the wheel size and offset.

These profiles affect the wheel's appearance, spoke contour, and available brake clearance.

The A-Profile configuration should not be assumed to clear every factory or aftermarket brake package.

Always confirm brake compatibility using the specific wheel dimensions and the brake manufacturer's clearance requirements.

73.1mm Center Bore

The Hypergram HG98514356 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.

Performance Tire Compatibility

The 9.5-inch wheel width accommodates a range of performance-oriented tire sizes.

Common tire widths considered for 9.5-inch wheels include:

• 245mm performance tires.

• 255mm performance tires.

• 265mm performance tires.

• 275mm performance tires, where approved by the tire manufacturer.

The correct tire size depends on the tire manufacturer's approved rim-width range, vehicle suspension configuration, overall tire diameter requirements, and available clearance.
