F3S Features:
EVERY KONIG FORGED F3S part number has been developed to have a unique profile! What does this mean for you? In short...the most amount of concavity for the most amount of brake caliper clearance.
In wheel development most brands will produce profiles that will share bolts patterns as long as the width and offset are similar. In mass wheel production this is common and even something that we often must do in our Flow Formed and Mainline of wheels.
When it came time to develop our Forged line we wanted the experience to extend throughout every note of the wheel. Every part number that we make has been carefully considered for the target vehicles that part number was intended for, considering fitment especially brake caliper clearance. For these target vehicles we have painstakingly obsessed to ensure that each wheel is as concave as it can be while clearing those target vehicle's popular aftermarket big brake choices as well as the most popular factory upgrade brake options for those vehicles.

TOUR THE F3S
The F3S is a motorsport inspired split-5 spoke design. Come with us and we'll walk you through the details!
Starting at the PCD we can see the spoke split starts early which creates 2 different window sizes, one larger "D" shaped and the other a smaller triangular.
Both windows and spoke sides feature an extremely deliberate ball cut that removes excess aluminum from the front of the spokes revealing a web that translates stress around the window as it radiuses into a slightly raised drop center flange.
The F3S has a lip that wraps around the center of the wheel where it concludes at the outer edge of the wheel with a "C" channel flange which increases the rigidity of the outer wheel edge.
Every cut, radius, fillet, chamfer, angle and shape are all intentionally placed to shave away aluminum where it isn't needed, reduce weight and improve the fatigue strength by reducing stress concentrations. All of this is found and confirmed using state of the art Finite Element Analysis.
FEA Analysis
Utilizing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and advanced engineering simulation software we push every wheel design through countless variations of impact, bending and stress, simulations to optimize wheel weight, increase strength and rigidity and reinforce high-stress areas. FEA allows us to do hundreds of minor adjustments and simulations before we even get to the physical tests.
Concavity Profile
Traditional wheel designs often struggle to accommodate larger brake setups, especially on performance-oriented vehicles. Konig Forged wheels address this by utilizing size-specific concavity profiles. By strategically dishing the center section, we create ample clearance for big brake kits without compromising the wheel's overall design. This ensures optimal braking performance without resorting to spacers, which can introduce fitment issues and affect handling. Konig Forged wheels come in a wide range of sizes, from 17x9 to 19x12.5, with PCDs ranging from 4x100 to 5x130.
Knurled Bead Seat
Konig forged wheels incorporate knurled bead seating, a design feature that enhances the tire-to-wheel interface. This textured surface optimizes grip and minimizes tire slippage during high-performance maneuvers, promoting precise handling and driver confidence.
Ball Cut Wheel
This spoke window design incorporates a ball-cut framed section to enhance rigidity. The frame creates a secondary load path, improving deflection resistance and load transfer. Additionally, the framed section visually separates the window into two sections within the same area, adding a dimensional aesthetic to the wheel. To minimize unsprung weight and rotational mass, lightening holes have been strategically placed throughout the design.
HERITAGE BUILT. PERFORMANCE DRIVEN.
Konig isn't just about flashy looks. We've been meticulously crafting wheels for over four decades, constantly evolving our manufacturing processes to achieve the perfect balance of strength, weight, and style. When you choose Konig, you're not just getting a wheel, you're choosing a trusted partner with a proven track record of innovation and performance.
Quality Control
Konig wheels don't just look good – they're built to last. Our commitment to quality control goes beyond aesthetics. We utilize advanced inspection methods and rigorous testing procedures to ensure every wheel meets the highest performance standards.
