New wheel pics: Konig 18" Beyond & BFG's

'03GTinFLA · Apr 1, 2007

Tires: BFG KDW's 275's Rims: Konig Beyond - 18"x8.5
Let me know what you think. I wanted a "mustang style" rim with a little flash but nothing too bling or chrome or overused. Also I stuck with 18"x8.5 at all 4 corners so I could rotate tires especially after I looked at prices of tires for the 9.5 out back, which would have been 315's, and it's just too much money for me. I've got a blower coming and more suspension work to do and it's still my DD so tire rotation was the choice.

Old vs New

I need bigger brakes and rotors now. If you want any other angles let me know but I think I got it covered.

Looks very nice, nice choice on something different than regular mustang style rims.

I really like those!!
If I was still looking around for rims, that would have gotten my vote.
Looks like it was time to get rid of the old skins too...

wow. when i saw the first pic i thought...stupid, i hate it. but when i saw them on the car i really like them!!! also where did you get those bumper inserts????

Those rims look GREAT!! Props to you for doing something different! They look like they are backwards (LOL), but it's reallyyy really nice. How much did they run you?

On those BFGs - How is the road noise? I heard those tires are noisy, but I'm debating those or GY Eagle GSD-3s for my next set (still on stockers )

It's original, and it looks very very nice. I like it a lot

'03GTinFLA · Apr 1, 2007

Thanks for the compliments. :SNSign:
Ray - I think those inserts were from Ford Power .net but I looked and it doesn't look like they sell anything anymore, just forums and stuff. IDK? I wrote an email to Barry, some guy that worked there, and asked him if he could do the chrome with smaller black letters in the middle and he did. I like the subtle different type stuff that someone would have to know about stangs to tell the difference/appreciate.

Pullmeover- yeah I thought they kinda look like inside out/backward bullits. I really like the BFG's. I've only had stockers and the Fuzions that were in the first pic, but I didn't notice any road noise difference, but then again I have LT's, O/R prochamber and Mac catback so it's kinda loud in the car to start with. The only negative thing I can think of is that the 275's in front tend to track on certain roads but it's not that noticable and I had 275's on my stock rims before so I may just be used to it. Either way I recommend the BFG's.
I got the rims/tires as a package from buy wheels today .com and that place is awesome. I called and they were very helpful in choosing rim size and wheel size. Then I had another question that I emailed and the response was within 5 minutes. Came right to my door ready to go with chrome lugnuts and valve stems. Definately check other places and compare but BWT was a great place. The rims were 180 a piece and I can't remember the tires but it was close to the same as chrome FR500's with cheaper tires from american muscle. I'm thinking it was $1600?

I was going to ask the same thing. Those are spaced absolutely perfect.

Tim2002GT · Sep 15, 2007

Those look sick on your color of car! How hard are they to keep clean?

'03GTinFLA · Sep 16, 2007

I forgot the offset. I got them from buywheelstoday.com. I called up the guy and talked for awhile. He explained the differences in offset and wheel sizes and such. Very good customer service.
As far as cleaning them, the bullits where easier to clean but once you get the hang of how to whipe them down it's pretty easy.
Thanks for all the compliments. A couple of days ago I was thinking of switching to Saleens cause I was getting sick of my rims. Now I like them again.

thomas91169 · Sep 16, 2007

very original. they are almost like bullitts but the spokes are reversed (IE the inside of the spoke is now the outside). looks very good. however i think with just 275's out back you might regret it when traction problems ensue with the addition of the blower.
