Konig Flow Forming Technology

The MRK1 utilizes Konig's Flow Forming Technology, a manufacturing process that combines a cast aluminum wheel center with a barrel formed under pressure and rotation.

During production, the wheel barrel is stretched and shaped to its final dimensions. This process helps improve the aluminum's strength-to-weight characteristics compared with conventional cast wheel construction.

The result is a lightweight performance wheel designed to offer durability, reduced unnecessary rotating mass, and responsive handling characteristics.

Flow formed construction provides enthusiasts with a performance-oriented alternative to traditional cast wheels without the expense associated with fully forged wheel designs.

Lightweight 22.11 lb Construction

At approximately 22.11 lbs, the 18x9.5 MRK1 offers lightweight construction for its wide configuration and distinctive mesh design.

Reducing unnecessary rotating and unsprung weight may contribute to improvements in:

• Steering response.

• Suspension responsiveness.

• Acceleration characteristics.

• Braking response.

• Overall handling feel.

Actual performance benefits depend on the weight and specifications of the wheels and tires being replaced.

Modern Multi-Spoke Mesh Design

The MRK1 features an intricate multi-spoke mesh design inspired by modern motorsport and European performance wheel styling.

Its detailed spoke arrangement creates a distinctive appearance while maintaining the strength and functionality required for compatible street and performance applications.

The MRK1 provides an alternative to traditional five-spoke and split-spoke wheel designs, offering a more intricate and premium appearance.

Hyper Carbon Finish

The MKN8514406 features Konig's premium Hyper Carbon finish.

This deep, glossy dark-gray finish provides a metallic appearance with visual depth, complementing the wheel's intricate mesh design.

The finish creates a refined yet aggressive appearance suitable for a wide range of vehicle colors and build styles.

Center-Lock-Inspired Covered Lug Design

One of the MRK1's most distinctive features is its center-lock-inspired lug cover system.

The wheel incorporates a color-matched cover plate secured by an aluminum threaded gear cap, finished with a Konig logo insert.

This design conceals the standard lug hardware, creating a clean motorsport-inspired appearance.

Important: The MRK1 uses conventional multi-lug wheel mounting hardware. The center-lock-inspired assembly is decorative and does not convert the wheel into a true center-lock system.

Optional Konig AROCOVER Compatibility

The MRK1 is designed to accommodate Konig's optional AROCOVER aerodynamic wheel cover.

The AROCOVER provides an alternative appearance inspired by aerodynamic motorsport wheel designs.

This accessory allows enthusiasts to change the visual character of the MRK1 without replacing the wheel.

Note: The AROCOVER is sold separately and is not included with the wheel.

Knurled Bead Seat Technology

The MRK1 incorporates knurled bead seats designed to increase friction between the tire bead and the wheel.

During aggressive acceleration, braking, and cornering, high forces can cause the tire to move slightly relative to the wheel.

The textured bead seat helps resist this movement, making it a useful feature for performance-oriented driving applications.

Note: Knurled bead seats are not beadlocks and do not eliminate the need for proper tire mounting, inflation, or maintenance.

18x9.5 +40 Wheel Fitment

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

The +40mm offset determines the wheel's mounting position relative to its centerline and affects both inner suspension clearance and outer fender clearance.

Compared with narrower factory wheel configurations, this setup may require careful tire selection and additional clearance considerations.

Proper fitment depends on the complete wheel and tire combination.

73.1mm Center Bore

The MRK1 MKN8514406 features a 73.1mm center bore.

Vehicles with smaller hub diameters may require properly 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 Brake Clearance

The MRK1's mesh-style spoke design may accommodate various factory and aftermarket brake systems.

However, compatibility with larger brake calipers depends on the specific brake system, rotor dimensions, wheel offset, and spoke clearance.

Always verify big brake kit clearance using an appropriate manufacturer-approved brake template before purchasing.

Installation Notes

1. Verify Bolt Pattern: Confirm that the vehicle uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

2. Check Wheel Dimensions: Ensure the 18x9.5 +40 configuration is appropriate for the vehicle.

3. Confirm Center Bore Compatibility: Determine whether hub-centric rings are required.

4. Verify Brake Clearance: Check clearance around factory or aftermarket brake calipers.

5. Inspect Suspension Clearance: Ensure sufficient clearance around struts, coilovers, control arms, and related components.

6. Check Fender Clearance: Confirm that the wheel and tire combination will not contact the fenders during steering or suspension compression.

7. Select Compatible Tires: Use tire sizes approved for a 9.5-inch-wide wheel and appropriate for the vehicle.

8. Use Proper Lug Hardware: Install lug nuts or bolts with the correct thread specifications, seat profile, and engagement.

9. Inspect Hub Mounting Surfaces: Clean corrosion and debris from the mounting surfaces.

10. Install Hub-Centric Rings if Required: Use appropriately sized rings when the wheel center bore is larger than the vehicle's hub.

11. Install TPMS Sensors: Use compatible tire pressure monitoring sensors where required.

12. Mount and Balance Tires: Have tires professionally installed and balanced.

13. Torque Lug Hardware: Follow the vehicle manufacturer's specified tightening sequence and torque requirements.

14. Install the Center Cover Assembly: Secure the decorative lug cover and threaded gear cap according to Konig's instructions after the wheel mounting hardware has been properly tightened.

15. Verify Final Fitment: Check wheel and tire clearance throughout the required suspension and steering travel.

16. Recheck Lug Torque: Follow the applicable wheel and vehicle manufacturer recommendations after initial driving.

17. Maintain the Finish: Clean using wheel-safe products suitable for painted and metallic aluminum finishes.

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.
