I ordered 18x9.5 Konig Beyond wheels with BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 275/40/18 tires today from tires.com. The wheels and tires won't ship out until Friday July 8th because if they shipped today I would be on vacation when they arrived. I'll have them on by the 14th and take pictures for everyone.

I wanted to go with the Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S but they were out of stock. If they are back in stock before my order goes out, the dealer will put them on for me. I know a lot of people aren't fans of the tire but I do get some snow during the winter here in MD and would like to sell my Bullitts and not keep two sets of wheels and tires.

Lucky man, I won't get mine until I'm back from vacation. Is that the 45 offset, and what type of Falken tires?

Thanks! I had to sit on them for 2 weeks because my alternator went out and the dealer had the car.. drove me insane waiting!

Yes they are 45mm offset and I will take a picture from farther away tomorrow.

Tires are Falken GR Beta FK-451.

Sweet but what about those tires. What model you rockin on the whip and how close does the tire get to the edge of the fender? I'm hoping it lines up nice and even...

They appear to look a lot better in person. The ones in the ads had black on them. The gray looks a lot better for the wheel.

I was worried that they would be more greyish or gunmetal color than I wanted but they are actually perfect for me. They arent dull and they are not bling bling chrome which I personally cant stand so they worked out great. My only gripe is I wish I would have gone a little larger now since there is definately room in the back for a bigger tire, the front right now has about an inch of clearance when you are at max turn left or right. I think i remember someone saying the black had been painted on...? might be wrong though.

Sweet thats about what I was lookin for, as long as it doesn't stick out. Now the only other thing is what model Falken tire is that. I was looking about switching out the BFG KDW for a different tire before it ships.

Great looking wheels. Check this out though...



Looks like the tread pattern is backwards on the driver's side.

Look at the passenger side. The tread should face this way, right?




I hope they didn't mount the tire facing the wrong way :nono:




Nevermind. The first pic is from the front. Sorry about that!
