To the editor of the video, please stop having the background music so loud. Doesn't even go with the mood lol Aside from that, I enjoy the in depth unboxing so much of this series!!!!
Sounds to me like that centerlock nut is going to need some anti seize. That said, I can see the value of this wheel. It seems pretty focused on what it's intending to be and I do think that older euro race car style is the target. Wouldn't mind seeing it on the right build out in the wild.
After looking again, I thought the aero disc nubs could line up with the spokes but it doesn't which is a bummer and an improvement Konig could make in a MRK2
The nubs do line up with the spokes they’re intended to “lock” the cover so it doesn’t spin. Also when properly lined up there’s rubber feet which protect the face of the wheel from any scratching
Manthey Racing uses the aero disc style wheel on the rear only of the Porsche GT cars and supplies ducting to cool the brakes from the inside, so lift and drag gets canceled out.
White on white would look great on my red Abarth. I already have the optional forged 17” in white but this would look great still. The weight is unfortunate though.
Obvs the turbo-fan aesthetic is gorgeous, but... do the plastic covers actually stay on under any kind of spirited driving? Do these 'Arocovers' actually provide any kind of real cooling / aero benefits? Or are they just for aesthetics?
They definitely stay on! No reports of any coming off. However, we would say this design is more specific to aesthetic reasons then functionality reasons.
more of a styling piece but does have tiny "fingers" that promote air movement... $130/pr for the arodisk, so you can choose front or rear placement. Functional or not, I love the arodisk.
stop playing w/my emotions. I think the MRK1 w/arodisk is near perfection. my wrx is screaming for them...but, I don't want a -38 offset on a 18x9.5 5x114.3...I want a -44/45, but no luck. I've already asked Konig to make the plastic arodisk in other colors to broaden the appeal vs just a single white or silver color.🍸
Interested in picking up the Konig MRK1? Do it here! bit.ly/4hNR4d4
I kinda like the look of these without the disc and that lug cover. It looks like wheel for GT3 class car. That aerodisc is just cherry on top.

I'd run this on my E30 for sure!

You forgot Mini's. They'd look great on one.
Can't get any proper wheels for my 5x110 PDC :( maybe you guys could make some recommendations for the less popular PDC's like 5x110.

Thing looks so cool with aero disc, but that is probably going to fall off during a track day lol
Just put them on my MK7!
Very nice...
The Arocover can get stolen easily😅
anything can get stolen...you still need a wrench to remove the center nut
