- [Gels] No, this isn't an old video.
Yes, we're back in our old shop, that's our new shop,
but now our old shop is also our new shop for filming.
If that makes sense. Whatever.
What's up guys? It's Gels from Fitment Industries,
and before we get into today's video,
I just want to let you know that
we're doing another wheel giveaway.
So stayed tuned to the end of this
to find out more about it.
But today, we're gonna be talking about Konig Wheels,
and why Konig is just so awesome.
We're gonna go over a couple things
that you may or may not have known
about Konig Wheels.
Again, I'm Gels from Fitment Industries.

And let's just jump right into it.
So first things first, Konig has actually been around
for quite some time.
Founded in 1982, Konig was one of the first
after-market wheel companies in the United States
to start developing wheels specifically for the
Japanese import tuning scene.
Konig saw the impact that the Japanese cars were having
in the late eighties and early nineties in America,
and saw a perfect opportunity to make wheels for those cars.
Konig saw the birth of the import tuning scene in America,
and watched it progress all the way up to,
and past, the days of "Fast & Furious" in the early 2000's.
As styles evolved, so did they and many of Konig's designs.
Popular designs started to change from more of a
style-oriented aspect, to wheels that were designed
more for drag racing, autocross, and even drifting.
After a while, Konig realized that they needed to take
the performance motorsport side of their wheels
a little more serious to fit the needs
of the drivers that were using their wheels.
So they did.
In 2009, Konig introduced their first full-form wheel
and have continued to make them ever since.
And it was a pretty big deal at the time!
So if you're a little unfamiliar with full-forming,
it's the type of process that they use
to manufacture their wheels.
Similar to a low-pressure casting,
the face of the wheel is cast
and then the barrel of the wheel is drawn out
using a lot of heat and a lot of pressure,
to turn the barrel into the final shape,
essentially forging the barrel of the wheel.
So by increasing the strength-to-weight
ratio of their wheels,
they were a huge hit among the motorsport scene.
Ever since then, they have continuously been developing
wheels for Motorsport enthusiasts,
while doing their best to support the community,
the sport, and the industry itself.
We've seen a lot of popular wheels come up from Konig,
wheels like their Ampliforms, their Dekagrams,
their Hypergrams, and all those kind of things
that are a huge hit among people
who really love to drive their cars.
So now we're at where we are today with Konig
and a lot of people would like to argue that
Konig doesn't do anything, like, overly fancy
with their wheels and that's simply because
they don't want to.
They know what they're good at
and that is making lightweight performance wheels.
And they offer enough styling to
look good on a huge variety of vehicles,
but they don't stray too far away from their lane,
as far as styling goes: which is totally fine!
Since they have started,
Konig has grown to offer wheels and wheel fitments
for a lot of different cars and enthusiasts;
offering everything from what they started with,
their sport, compact, and tuning vehicles
up to modern muscle, BMWs, modern tuners, Volkswagens,
and everything inbetween to even fill-in spots
that aren't usually hit by most other wheel manufacturers.
So like I said, Konig knows what they are good at
and that's what they wanna stick to.
And they believe that they should build
and stick to what fits, what works, and what makes sense.
Their main goal is to build quality, affordable wheels
that you can just slap on your car
and never have to worry or stress about them.
Now don't get this confused that,
"Oh, they only make eighteen-by-eight plus forty wheels.
They're so tiny! Like, who would run those?"
In fact, the introduction of their
flow form line actually got rid of that.
And now, they're able to make wider wheels like
eighteen-by-elevens with some lower, more aggressive offsets
to fit the needs of the motorsport communitiy,
drivers, and their driving needs.
Konig is a company that is built by car people,
and they wanna insure that what they build is usable,
functional, and performs well and offers
just a little bit of styling of after-market wheels.
Which brings us to our last point of today,
and that is for the month of July,
Fitment Industries has partnered with Konig Wheels
to giveaway a free set of Konig wheels of your choice,
in the size you need, whatever is in stock,
whatever finish you want.
Just like the previous giveaways in the past,
we have collab'ed with t-shirt,
which I am wearing right here.
It's an awesome design we actually designed in-house.
We got the Konig on the right,
the Fitment Industries on the-to the left,
we got the Fitment Industries, Konig Ampliform,
I believe, on the front.
And on the back, you got the drift-mode,
'cause Konig. Drift. All that cool stuff.
So the easiest way to enter the giveaway
for this month of July, with Konig Wheels,
win a free set of wheels, is to
pick up one of these t-shirts.
You can check the description below,
we'll have a link in there.
Otherwise, hop on over to fitmentindustries.com.
Now, of course, with every giveaway that we do,
we make sure to make a donation to
some sort of charity, or animal shelter.
So with every purchase of this t-shirt,
Fitment Industries will be
making a contribution to the ASPCA,
because we love puppies and we love kitties
and we love helping them out as much as we can.
Plus, if you'd like to make an extra donation,
there is a spot on our website as well,
right below I think, your size-selector
that you can make an extra donation to add to the cart.
We'd really appreciate to help out some animals.
So at the end of the month, July 31st,
we'll be announcing the winner of the giveaway.
It'll be a livestream, like we have done in the past.
It'll be some kind of competition between
Alex, Dakota, and myself, and maybe Steve.
Sometimes Steve, but he's too good at Forza.
I don't know if we can, like, let him back
to do something like that, because he's just, like,
made us look like a bunch of fools.
