One-Piece Cast Aluminum Construction
The Konig Myth utilizes one-piece cast aluminum construction, providing a practical combination of durability, styling, and everyday usability.
Unlike multi-piece wheels, which incorporate separate components, the Myth is manufactured as a single aluminum alloy wheel.
This construction offers several advantages:
Durable aluminum alloy design.
Straightforward maintenance.
Consistent one-piece construction.
Suitable for daily-driven vehicles.
Distinctive aftermarket styling.
Practical replacement for compatible factory wheels.
The Myth belongs to Konig's cast wheel collection and should not be confused with the company's Flow Formed or Fully Forged performance wheel series.
Aggressive Split Five-Spoke Design
The Myth features a distinctive split five-spoke layout with angular contours that give the wheel a modern, performance-inspired appearance.
The split spoke configuration creates an open design that highlights the wheel's diameter and provides visibility of the vehicle's brake components.
Its bold styling complements sport compact cars, performance sedans, and custom street vehicles.
Gloss Black with Red Tinted Clearcoat Finish
The MY8951440R features Konig's distinctive Gloss Black with Red Tinted Clearcoat finish.
Unlike a conventional solid red or black wheel, this finish combines a deep Gloss Black base with machined accents protected by a red-tinted clearcoat.
The result is a contrasting appearance that highlights the wheel's spoke geometry while adding a distinctive red accent.
This finish is particularly appealing for vehicles featuring red brake calipers, red exterior accents, or black-and-red styling themes.
The tinted clearcoat creates visual depth and allows the machined detailing to remain visible beneath the colored finish.
Machined Red-Tinted Spoke Accents
One of the Myth's defining styling characteristics is its machined spoke detailing.
The red-tinted clearcoat enhances these machined surfaces, creating contrast against the Gloss Black portions of the wheel.
This finish emphasizes the split five-spoke design and gives the wheel a more distinctive appearance than a conventional single-color configuration.
Modern V-Spoke Styling
The Myth's distinctive V-shaped spoke arrangement creates a layered visual appearance.
The angular spoke geometry adds definition and helps distinguish the Myth from conventional straight five-spoke wheel designs.
This styling provides a modern aftermarket appearance without relying on an oversized outer lip.
23.14 lb Cast Aluminum Construction
At approximately 23.14 lbs, the 19x8.5 Myth offers a practical weight for its dimensions and one-piece cast aluminum construction.
Wheel weight contributes to rotating and unsprung mass, which can influence steering response, suspension behavior, and overall vehicle dynamics.
Actual performance differences depend on the weight and specifications of the original wheel and tire combination.
19x8.5 +40 Wheel Fitment
The 19x8.5-inch configuration provides a versatile platform for appropriately sized street and performance tires.
The +40mm offset determines the wheel's mounting position relative to its centerline and affects both inner suspension clearance and outer fender clearance.
Compared with an otherwise identical +35mm offset wheel, the +40mm configuration positions the wheel approximately 5mm farther inward.
This may provide additional outer fender clearance but reduces inner suspension clearance.
Potential installation considerations include:
Factory or aftermarket suspension clearance.
Brake caliper clearance.
Tire width and sidewall selection.
Fender clearance.
Steering clearance.
Alignment and camber settings.
Hub-centric ring requirements.
Vehicle-specific tire diameter requirements.
Proper fitment should always be confirmed before installation.
73.1mm Center Bore
The Myth MY8951440R features a 73.1mm center bore.
Vehicles with smaller hub diameters may require appropriately sized hub-centric rings to help center the wheel during installation.
Hub-centric rings do not correct an incompatible bolt pattern, incorrect lug hardware, or insufficient brake clearance.
60-Degree Conical Lug Seat
The Konig Myth uses a 60-degree conical lug seat.
Properly matched lug nuts or bolts are essential for safe wheel installation.
Before mounting, verify the wheel's required lug seat profile, the vehicle's thread size, and the necessary thread engagement.
Factory lug hardware may not be compatible with aftermarket wheels.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Compatibility
The Myth supports compatible tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors.
Vehicles originally equipped with TPMS may require transferring compatible sensors from the factory wheels or installing replacement sensors.
Sensor compatibility and programming requirements vary by vehicle.
Wheel Load Rating
The MY8951440R has a published 1,521 lb load rating per wheel.
This rating represents the maximum specified load capacity for the individual wheel.
Before installation, verify that the wheel's load rating meets the vehicle's applicable axle load requirements.
Brake Clearance Considerations
The Myth features an open split five-spoke design that may accommodate various factory brake systems.
However, compatibility with larger brake calipers or aftermarket big brake kits depends on the specific brake system, rotor dimensions, wheel offset, and spoke clearance.
Always verify brake clearance using an appropriate manufacturer-approved brake template before purchasing.
Finish Care and Maintenance
The Gloss Black with Red Tinted Clearcoat finish should be maintained using cleaning products suitable for painted and clear-coated aluminum wheels.
Avoid harsh acidic cleaners, abrasive polishing compounds, and aggressive brushes that may damage the tinted finish.
Regular cleaning helps remove brake dust, road grime, and other contaminants that can affect the appearance of the wheel over time.

Installation Notes
Verify Bolt Pattern: Confirm that the vehicle uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
Check Wheel Dimensions: Ensure the 19x8.5 +40 configuration is appropriate for the vehicle.
Confirm Center Bore Compatibility: Determine whether hub-centric rings are required.
Verify Brake Clearance: Check clearance around factory or aftermarket brake calipers.
Inspect Suspension Clearance: Ensure sufficient clearance around struts, coilovers, control arms, and related components.
Check Fender Clearance: Verify that the wheel and tire combination will not contact the fenders during steering or suspension compression.
Select Compatible Tires: Use tire sizes approved for an 8.5-inch-wide wheel and appropriate for the vehicle.
Use Proper Lug Hardware: Install compatible 60-degree conical-seat lug nuts or bolts with the correct thread specifications.
Inspect Hub Mounting Surfaces: Clean corrosion and debris from the wheel mounting surfaces.
Install Hub-Centric Rings if Required: Use appropriately sized rings when the wheel center bore is larger than the vehicle's hub.
Install TPMS Sensors: Use compatible tire pressure monitoring sensors where required.
Mount and Balance Tires: Have tires professionally installed and balanced.
Torque Lug Hardware: Follow the vehicle manufacturer's specified tightening sequence and torque requirements.
Install the Center Cap: Secure the supplied Konig center cap according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Verify Final Fitment: Check wheel and tire clearance throughout the required suspension and steering travel.
Recheck Lug Torque: Follow the applicable wheel and vehicle manufacturer recommendations after initial driving.
Maintain the Finish: Clean using wheel-safe products suitable for gloss-painted and tinted clearcoat finishes.
Important: Additional components such as hub-centric rings, aftermarket lug nuts, extended wheel studs, or spacers may be required depending on the vehicle. All supporting hardware must be selected for the specific application.
