They will be a nice christmas pressant. Should be there by dec.-ish

They are nice looking wheels, but TSW now makes the Nurburgring and it looks exactly the same, so dont know why people are still so after these after the problems, I think their great wheels though.

^ the spokes are further apart on the TSW. f14s look way better.

I guess, to each his own, I just think that if you are going to be waiting 2-3 months for wheels, they better be Forged 2-3 Piece stuff thats all.

Forgestar is cheap because they manufacturer the wheels overseas and then import them in quanity, painting them here in the US. Downside is they don't carry much inventory so leadtimes are very long. They actually lost my order in the inital rush from this site so my order took even longer. I like the look of the wheels and the price was right, fortunately the order delay was over the winter so it didn't affect me.

Downside, the design of the wheel stud recess prevents you from getting a lot of thread turns out of the lug nuts. Enough for street driving, but not enough for safe track IMO. I lengthed the studs to solve that problem and run spacers with the stock wheels when I use those.

it only took 2 weeks to get mine, but then one got damaged in shipping, and it took about 2.5-3 months for a replacement.
