Thinking about some 19" Privat Netz wheels. I know they are made by Konig. Iv'e heard mixed reviews about Konig. Privat is suppose to be the luxury line for Konig. Just seeing if anyone knows anything about Privat.
Any review or comments will be appreciated.

Virtual replica/copy-cat styles for a fraction of the price of the original! However, they're still very heavy, kinda kitschy, and so forth like their Konig brethren. As the cliche' goes, you get what you pay for! But, for the very low price, if you want a particular/desired look for your ride, you can't go wrong. . .

I particularly like the 'Privat Gassen'! :cool:

Thanks, for the reply. Guess I should save for the HFP 19's. Wish they came in a different color.

Wish they came in a different color.There are many knockoff/replica wheels in the style of the HFP 19's that come in varying finishes/colors/etc'. Dedicate an afternoon or such to going A-to-Z through some of the larger online wheel vendors.

Also, w/ the ongoing MS Live.com Paypal 30% cash-back promo' going on for 'buy-it-now' items on ebay, you can get the HFP 19" wheels for $1300'ish - 30% (max' discount per transaction is $250) = $1050 + s/h.

If you can convince the seller to do (2) auctions for 2wheels/auctions, then you can save more ($600 - 30% = $420, so $420 x 2 = $840 + s/h... just slip the seller an extra $20 or such on the side for his extra-keystrokes, lol!

For ~$900/shipped, you can't go wrong. Heck, get them professionally refinished afterwards for $75/wheel (it cost less when there is no curb-rash/bends/cracks, otherwise it's $100+/wheel), you're still gonna come-out on top! :cool:

What a deal! With this discount more options are open. Maybe I'll get some Axis Pentas!

I'm sure they are great wheels for the price. I'm a worry wart & a cheap bastard, if I spend 900-1300 on wheels I want to know I'm getting something that will be functional, look good & last. I don't think I would be as worried if I was staying with the same size wheels. But, I'm going to go from 17's to 19's. Thanks for the input.
