koing Hyper grams coming Saturday 7x8 rims!

• Here the Koing hypergrams 17 x8 are here, now to put them on with the firehawks 500 225 x45 x 17

 

[Honda-Fan]

Are these gold or bronze?

 

[sunofwolf]

matte bronze, almost like a gray and bronze color, not a bright bronze. Koing ultra grams are 17x 8 and 16.33 pds, 7 pds lighter than stock wheel. These wheels are also very strong.

Kong hyper grams 17 x8 on firehawks 500 tires Now all I need to do is mount them on car and wipe the tires clean. I think this shade matte bronze is going to look outstanding on the car.

 

[sunofwolf]

these Koing hyper grams are race bronze and don't look super flashy. Got them on today. Very nice , strong and light. the rim caps are better with three screws holding the caps on, so they won't rattle and it water out. Notice the brakes will get a lot more cool air. Just picking up the oem rims and tires show a significant weight deference. I may go to a larger size 235 x 17 x 45. running the firehawks 225- perhaps the second best summer tire, with way over priced Michelin in first place.

I was out looking at a ford 2019- 250 with the twin turbo 3.5 engine and extended wheelbase 148 6sp auto. Just happened to be in the lot with side dent bars , sliding side door, big window on one side, 14,000 miles around 26K and the farm bought it-Me This ford Van has a really cool twin turbo motor-310Hp and 400ft of torque and gets better mpg's than the old v8 5.4 with 300HP. My sister didn't really know that. I went for a test drive and it boost really fast. Now why isn't this engine in a small car or maybe they do have one-I don't know. Very cool, but dangerous if you don't know how to drive, much faster than you think it is-perhaps the 400 ft pds of torque means more than just HP? This is a 3/4 ton van. We have a guy delivering for the farm, I am worried he will smash it up-I hope not???

I take a pic later, the tnps light came on and I wonder if tunez can turn it off, so I can save $20 the tire shop charges to adj the tnps? This turned out a exciting day because it very hard to find a ford 250 van with the 3.5 turbo and 148 wheel base-rides extremely nice,-most have the reg 3.7 or the slow 3.2 puke engine.

are “koing, kong” type-o’s?
or is that slang for the brand? i see people selling these on offerup and they say one of the two when they are really Konig

 

[sunofwolf]

Not really liking what the wheels Konig are called, but these are very nice light and priced well. I noticed the car responded much better with the specials rims and fire hawks 500, then the Michelin AS and stock rims. I think they are excellent for the dough. Where the enkie- stock setup was heavy and expensive-very strong rims however..

 

[sunofwolf]

Wow did I see a Ford twin turbo 3.5 with 647HP stock engine. the 2019 250 van may have a 320HP v6 twin turbo-that's the bottom end of HP rating's-looks like on hell of a cool engine , while getting great MPG's. A 6L reg ford engine can't keep up with the twin turbo 3.5.

 

[sunofwolf]

can't wait to start driving a twin turbo v6 Even if its the lowest output version-made extremely heavy duty like the very high output engine's-year 2019 with a 6sp auto-got to check out the tranny specs. even a 3/4 van will move out fast.

 

[sunofwolf]

Yak Yak , My ford Van twin turbo is as big a three honda Si ,and just as fast.

 

[sunofwolf]

Can't wait to get that twin turbo v6 Van, I see it does 6.8 secs to 60mph from a stop. This is a fast van for sure. I use to like the chev 350 vans, this v6 twin turbo Van is much faster. You could easy soup it up a lot more and get over 400HP out of that v6 twin turbo.

Show us the VAN!

 

[sunofwolf]

Picking it up Tuesday- it is a Great looking van that can almost fit a honda in the cargo area! 20 feet long and is the fastest Van in its class, also the best Van-this is a Cadillac of cargo Vans. The twin turbo v6 has been proven very reliable- I plan on running 05-20 Ultra pensiol in it-takes 6.2 qts. I will change the oil myself- I want to keep the engine running in top shape , it has only 14,400 miles on it. The v6 turbo engine is a extreme duty motor and was updated in 2017. The engine is a 2019. Ford has a v6 turbo's with 637 HP stock- well ford super it up in that version's. A lot of cop car are using this engine. Turn up the boost and it would be 400HP very easy, but no plans on doing so. It drives like a car, but is bigger then two SUV's, speed limited to 97mph-want touch that either-justy imagine what you could do with a tuner? long wheelbase version-rides like a Limo but better. I am worried the other driver might not bring it back

Picking up the 2019 Ford 250 twin turbo 6sp Long wheel base Van today. I am excited but I hate dealing with Ford dealers. The slesman didn't even know the van has twin turbos as they are hidden on both sides, must be a nightmare to replace them. The old van is totally worn out, but could go another 100,000 it has a v8 5.4 which is indestructible.

 

[sunofwolf]

Ford Van added to collection today and Pic of Honda si with Hypergram rims and firehawks 500 installed.

 

[Honda-Fan]

Is it like an Ecoboost?
