my biggest issue with the explorer wheels is that they are only 7.5" wide.

I kinda like both. The explorer's are somethin different, but I do like whats on it now. I say slicks on the Exploders and keep the koing's on it

The Konigs look 100% better. Plus they show off more behind the wheel...depending on what you have for eye candy in the brake department.

Konigs all the way. The explorer wheels are neat, but not for a "race" car.

cant put any decent slick(read used and cheap) on the ex.wheels. they are only 7.5" wide. i occasionally have access to used hoosier slicks, generally 275's. it would be tight even on my 8" konigs for those.

13"/11.65" sn95 cobra combo, none of it is pretty but i like to look at it anyhow. :evilgrin:

5x4.5" pattern. the offset on these is kinda high, but it matches my setup.
