what going on with konig/maxxim/privat remembers???...

[Philo]

just got off the line w/ esm...only have 57.1 in gold and gunmetal staggered set only. and as of their next shipment (coming in end of this month), they will no longer offer 57.1 centerbore!!!!!!!......PLUS they're $200 more than the konig set.

You're looking in the wrong place.

Gold, gunmetal, black. $699 shipped.

there we go! sir i thank you

Remembers were discontinued at least a year ago iirc. I recall people buying all of the remaining sets quickly while they could.

[raafhimself]

yeah i'm not following this whole konig/privat/maxxim thing. seems like they're all under konig-- the remembers no longer carry the konig name, they're now privat remembers but before they were maxxim remembers....anyone shed some light on this?

[Raxe]

Pretty sure it's the same company, different wheel lines.

I know that remembers have a curved face...

Again, sorry to thread jack.
But anyway to tell if these are real? (Sorry for shitty pic; all I have.)

[Desaevious]

PM Desaevious, I believe he just purchased some.

My ears were ringing...

^ I called 2 or 3 days after him, I blame him for these back order woes.

Sorry man! But that sucks that they're on back order with JLB...I had no idea I scored one of the last sets. But if you must wait the month, do it because $630 shipped is an awesome deal. Good luck, they're awesome!

dang.. now i know why my remembers sold so damn quickly several weeks ago... maybe i should have ebay'd them!

[JamesE30]

Off topic, sorry, but can someone tell me of a SPECIFIC way to spot out remembers vs. rs's besides looking at the back and seeing if the bolts are real? I really don't know.

I know that remembers have a curved face...

Alot or RS's have cuved faces too. AN easy way to tell is the number of spokes/bolts.

On real RS's the spokes actually line up with the bolts, Altot ot the fakes do not. Another one is the centercap, there are a few diferences.
Its basically impossible to tell from that photo alone, but I wouldn't be supprised if they were real

Thankyou.

yeah i was gonna pm you to curse you out, but i lost interest. so i'm gonna wait my place in queue and hopefully have them by the mid-june.

can you upload new shots of your wheels mounted on your car?

[einstein57]

I really like my remembers. I had to wait 2 months 3 years ago cause they were on back order. It seems the quality was it or miss with things like peeling clear coat and faux bolts popping out. I'd personally go with the esm wheels. Definitely more rare with way fewer produced and the 57.1 soon to be NLA. You can always have caps made. I was going to have flat caps made for under $150

[Desaevious]

I haven't done a proper shoot yet, these are all without my IS lip with Ryan G Splitter, but you get it. And I still haven't put roundels on them yet. I don't know if I want to run the 70mm stickies or just go capless entirely. If someone could find me roundels that are black and 70mm I'd buy those considering that would fit my car's theme best...
