Wheel advice needed (Konig Beyonds)

I need some help. I'm seriously considering trying to sell my 18X9 anthricite bullitt wheels that I ordered from Musting Tuning/American Muscle. I am thinking about replacing them with the 18X9.5 Konig Beyonds. How do you all think the Beyonds would look on tungsten and what do you think I should ask for my bullitts if I sold them. They have tri bar pony center caps and have 4400-4600 miles on them. I like the retro look of the bullitts, but honestly I'm getting a little bored with them. I don't want bling by any means. The Konig beyonds are the only things that I can really picture on my car. Chime in fellow TMSers. And if there are any computer guru's that can put this wheel on my car and give me an idea what it would look like, I'd be greatful!

i have a tungsten and am thinking either FR500s in chrome or hypercoated or the steeda pentars.

imo the beyonds would be too dark.

I think that those wheels will fall short and not represent the work that you have put into your car. I would suggest 20's as I think they look the best on our cars.

But if you are set on 18's check out the desings from Boze. I wanted to throww the Boost or Shifter on my Mystic.

They have custom powder coating and you can also have your own CUSTOM center caps made. Check them out http://www.bozeforged.com/wheels.html

I run the 18x8.5's Beyonds with the stock factory tire application.I'm considering running the 18x9.5's on the rear for wider tire.The wheels are easy to clean and have a nice machined finish and have a mini-DD look.I have seen a set of 20's and they look great on a lowered s-197.

Silver american racing Razor wheels in 20 x 9 (not the shelby ones) would look awesome on there, it would accent your silver stripes nicely.

The Konig beyonds are very nice wheels. I believe I read somewhere that they where specially designed for the new mustangs.

Thanks Deric. I appreciate your time and your photo skills................They don't look as good on there as I thought they would.

The color on the spokes is a lot darker than the Tungsten on your ride.It just doesn't match up.I actually wish they came in black spokes.

Yeah Rob - I kinda dig the Beyonds but don't think it will hold together well with Tungsten

don't go 20s (IMHO)

Have you thought about going brighter for the wheels? After I tried transferring the Anthracite bullitts from my black 05 to the redfire 06 and seeing them NOT really work at all, I went chrome (even not feeling %100 about them) and have been a happy camper ever since I first mounted them.....

hi OKLACOP.

i think 20's would look great. i run 20's looks great but i know the concerns of 20's. 18's seem a little too less wheel and too much rubber.

19s are a GREAT compromise......

best of luck!

what do you guys think about the beyonds on a black stang? I'm going for a kinda sinister look but not sure I wanna go with full-on black wheels. I like some contrast.

I saw them last year on a black 05 GT and they were beautiful, it was an all Mustang show with over 350 cars and they were one of the best looking wheels there.
