What does the knurled bead do?

The knurled bead is a textured surface on the inner rim of the wheel. Its primary function is to provide extra grip between the tire bead and the wheel, helping to prevent tire slippage, especially during high-performance driving or hard braking.

What does ET40 mean for this wheel?

ET40 refers to the wheel's offset, which is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the centerline of the wheel. A +40mm offset means the mounting surface is 40mm outward from the wheel's centerline, influencing how the wheel sits in the fender well.

What type of vehicles typically use a 5x114.3 bolt pattern?

The 5x114.3 bolt pattern is very common and found on a wide range of vehicles, including many popular sedans, coupes, SUVs, and crossovers from both domestic and import manufacturers.

Product Details

The knurled bead on this Konig Ultragram wheel is a notable design choice, helping to prevent tire slippage under hard acceleration or braking. This 17x8 inch wheel features a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a +40mm offset, making it a solid option for a variety of vehicles that use this common lug configuration. The Titanium Metallic finish offers a clean, understated look that complements many car colors.

Konig uses a cast aluminum construction for the Ultragram, which balances weight savings with strength. This wheel is designed to fit many popular import and domestic vehicles that can accommodate a 17-inch diameter wheel with an 8-inch width and the specified bolt pattern and offset. The knurled bead is a practical detail that can make a difference in how securely your tire stays seated, especially if you plan on pushing your vehicle's performance limits.

When choosing wheels, consider how the offset and backspacing will affect your vehicle's stance and suspension clearance. The ET40 offset on this wheel is a common specification that works well on many applications, but it's always a good idea to double-check your vehicle's specific requirements before purchasing.
