Beyern is made by TSW wheels

+1 18's are kinda small if you are upgrading wheels, I have beyern 20's and they look kinda small (prob cause it's not lowered)

I had the 18 8.5 beyener matte black mesh and loved them. No vibrations, easy to balance and are lighter (29 pounds compared to stock 18s which are 32). I regretted not going to 19s however and after a year sold them to get a set of VMR 19 inch hyperblack ones. But the wheel was good quality.

One thing is if you buy 19s or 20s they get really heavy-upwards of 35-40 pounds for the 20s which is a lot of rotating mass and decrease performance.
