Forza Motorsport 4 / Hyundai Veloster
For everyone out there who plays Forza Motorsport 4 you know it’s an awesome game with stunning graphics and superior gameplay. We here would like to agree! What’s even cooler about the game is the new partnership with Hyundai that offers you a free release DLC (Downloadable Content) of the 2013 Hyundai Veloster.
The Veloster in Forza Motorsport 4 is a perfect rendering of the 2013 Hyundai Veloster built by PM Lifestyle, which you may have seen at the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you have seen the car you then certainly noticed the stealthy KÖNIG Deception wheels, blueberry paint and carbon fiber components. If you haven’t seen this Veloster, be sure to check it out at a local show nearest you as the car will be on tour with Universal Technical Institute (UTI) in 2012. If not, check out the gallery below.
The Hyundai Veloster DLC can be downloaded from the Xbox 360 Storefront: CobraTuner

SEMA News / MAT Technology & New Trends
In the most recent issue of SEMA News (February), featured on page 23 Market Trends in Tires and Wheels, is the KÖNIG Milligram. The KÖNIG Milligram comes in three finishes: Matte Black, Silver and Gold with a Machined Undercut and are created using MAT Technology. Sizes are 18″ diameter only and come in 8.5, 9.5, and 10″ widths.
Also in this same wheel and tire trends article, Joseph Schaefer, President of KÖNIG American and chair-elect of SEMA’s Wheel & Tire Council (WTC) explained MAT Technology. “MAT Technology, a process which was developed by Enkei Japan, involves the spinning of the wheel and the barrel is squeezed in between two dies, which increases the strength and integrity of the wheel and a reduction in the materials required.” It’s definitely worth mentioning that KÖNIG has another wheel in the MAT family, the KÖNIG Kilogram.
Schaefer also explained that directional wheels may be a trend on the horizon. New for 2012, KÖNIG debuted the Turn_One a directional styled wheel finished in Quicksilver and Mirror Machine Face and Undercut.
