2012 Baltimore Auto Show [Recap]

The 2012 Baltimore Auto Show ran from February 9th to February 12th in Baltimore Maryland. Kia invited the GoGoGear team to the auto show. GoGoGear displayed the 2012 USTCC Kia Optima Hybrid pace car at center stage in the show. The car has been getting some great coverage so far including the 2011 SEMA show and the San Francisco Auto Show.

Project 1973 / 240Z

Every so often a mag will land on our desk and we will flip through the book and check out all the latest projects. Looking through issue #21 of Nissan Sport Mag we were excited to see a 1973 / 240Z project, which was later in it’s stages. The body work was near complete and the 270 was entering the wrap phase. Instead of the retro BRE race look, they chose a modernized design. In combination with the modern wrap, they chose the old school style of the KÖNIG Rewind in Graphite with Machine Lip. The Rewind also comes in Silver with Machine Lip, and sizes ranging from 14 x 7 through 16 x 7 with low offsets, which make it a great choice for all of your retro vehicle projects. Be sure to stay tuned as Project 240Z is set to get some more engine upgrades including a header and 2-1/2″ exhaust system.

It’s Thursday, July 28th 2011, and the 2011 Honda Civic Tour kicks off in just 8 days at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey. Exclusively headlining the tour are well-know bands Blink 182, and My Chemical Romance.

KÖNIG Wheels are proud to announce our involvement in the tour for yet another year. We have been involved in the Honda Civic Tour for many years and look forward to this year’s event. We’re very excited for Honda’s recent unveiling of the new body style 2012 Honda Civic, which includes the sportier Honda Civic Si Coupe, that is featured on the tour. This platform now sports a 2.4-liter, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC® engine that produces 201 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque, and a 6-Speed Manual Transmission. Making this Civic Si stand out from the rest are a set of KÖNIG Lightning Wheels wrapped in a set of fresh Toyo Tires The wheels were powder-coated to match the matte black paint applied by Santini Paint USA Funky graphics picked out by Blink 182 were then applied to the sides and hood of the car, followed by Honda Civic Tour graphics, which were applied to the rear of the car.

KÖNIG / Honda CR-Z Hangs out at Honda City

We would like to thank Honda City of Levittown, New York for displaying the KÖNIG Honda CR-Z on the sales floor for some great exposure. Honda’s new CR-Z is an exciting platform that combines sport and hybrid all together. As you may remember Konig built this car for Honda to help the launch of the platform. The Konig CR-Z was unveiled at the 2010 SEMA Show in Las Vegas in the Honda Booth. We hope that the Konig CR-Z will help to promote and show what accessorizing can do, especially to hybrids!

The car will be on showcase there for about a month. If you are local and would like to see the CR-Z and the Lightweight Konig Milligram Wheels up close and personal, just head over and check it out!
