Product Description

The Konig MRK1 is a motorsport-inspired mesh wheel that combines classic racing aesthetics with modern Flow Formed manufacturing. Its 10-spoke mesh face pulls design cues from the iconic wheels found on legendary endurance and touring race cars, while Flow Forming technology applies heat and pressure to the inner barrel during production, compressing the aluminum to create a wheel that is 15-25% lighter and significantly stronger than a comparable cast design. The 18x8.5 configuration offers the ideal balance of width and weight for European platforms, providing strong grip without excessive mass.

The defining visual element of the MRK1 is its concealed lug area. A color-matched Hyper Carbon cover plate sits flush over the lugs and is secured by a precision-machined threaded aluminum gear cap, creating a clean center profile reminiscent of a centerlock race wheel. A gear cap wrench and cover plate pull tool are included for easy installation and removal. For further personalization, Konig offers the optional Arocover aero disc - a lightweight ABS cover with airflow veins, rubber spacers to prevent wheel contact, and anti-spin tabs - as well as an anodized red gear cap, both sold separately.

This 18x8.5 size with a 5x112mm bolt pattern and +42mm offset is engineered for the European enthusiast market, fitting popular platforms from Volkswagen, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz. The 66.56mm hub bore is sized specifically for the VAG (Volkswagen/Audi Group) platform - vehicles with a different factory hub bore will require hub-centric rings. Knurled bead seats machined into the barrel prevent tire slippage under aggressive driving loads. The wheel is sold individually at 22.18 lbs, backed by Konig's rigorous engineering validated through Finite Element Analysis testing.
