Seen those wheels advertised quite a bit lately..
Think they are called Konig Rewinds. I heard they don't fit the roadster properly though...

I don't think that they are Konigs, here is a link to them:

They look like the rims on my Z which I thought were just some knock-off mini-lites.

Those look like the Western minilite copies. There are some Roadsters with those running around (who owns the pink roadster in the east?) but that wheel doesn't look too nice for that price. Buy my Keystone Vortex wheels instead! Much better condition!

Look like Western Minilites to me except original minilites have markings on them.

They're not Western's. Western's have 10 spokes - they look a little busy in my opinion. I believe that this set were marketed as shelby's but I don't know who actually made them. I have one along with 3 original minlites. They're nearly identical and most people don't notice the difference unless you point it out to them. They are 14x6.5 +12 while the minilites are +13. Both weigh the same. These take a standard shank lug nut which is nice as the minilites take a .75 inch shank which I was only able to get from Minilite in England. Price on those doesn't look too bad as they'll clean up well. I might try to get him down to $250 but I wouldn't have a problem with $300. I'm selling my set of 3 real minilites and one of these copies along with the correct lug nuts and center caps for $400. You can see what they look like on a roadster on my site. http://web.tampabay.rr.com/oilleak/
I think the Minilite/Panasport style looks great on Roadsters. Only thing I think I like better now that I got a set is the 4 spoke Revolutions. I don't have any pictures of those posted though.

Oh - on the Konigs... they won't fit a Roadster unless there's been some significant rear fender work. They are 14x7 -9. Roadsters need that to be more like a +9. If you really want a set though, find Gabe Tyler (TechnoToyTuning) on club4ag, he sells them for $325 a set. MSA undoubtedly buys them from him.
