Default Forged Specialties FS 5, 20", and 5" lip woot woot!!!

Hey guys these are not the best pictures in the world obviously, but our customer sent us these this week, and I was in love. Here is a list of his mods if I can remember exactly:

Forged Specialties FS 5 20x9.5 +25 20x10.5 +5 5" lip
H&R springs
Carbon Diffuser, (not the evo r one, but that other brand I cant remember)
Rear camber arms, dont know the brand

Tires are:
Hankook Evo 12 in 255/30 or 35/20 and 305/25/20 if i remember correctly

The butt haha







PM or email me for info, this is a new company coming up and no 3 piece company can match their pricing. Almost any finish for the centers are included in their pricing. THis is Nicks car by the way, and he is somewhere on this forum.

That looks awesome!!! Now I have an idea of what my car is going to look like with the Work T1S. Almost the same specs. Running the same brand of tires and sizes.

Great Job!

Yeah the car truly came out gorgeous. He calls me all the time just to tell me, that in Australia his car has attracted so much attention its crazy. He says people are in love with it, and the lip is just crazy. 1" more and were in lambo territory haha.

Well Jeff knows that after all the discussion, Forged Specialties was the only company that would do everything for him in the price range he wanted. To bad you ordered somewhere else. I kid, I am sure your setup will look good without a doubt.

My wheels were already ordered when I saw your thread about the Forged Specialties. Can you PM me the price of the FS in 20x9.5 15mm and 20x11 10mm? It's always good to get new shoes after you've had some for a while. I may have a buddy that's interested too.

I wouldve thought 5 pics was enough, but I figured you guys would love this car. It truly is gorgeous, I am waiting for the owner to come on. HOpefully you guys can bother him to do a pro shoot, b/c this car deserves it.

Hey fellas..
thanks for the feedback.. i am trying to find some time to organise a proper photo shoot (i dont know if its the camera or if 10megapixel just doesn't cut it) but the photos have come out real grainy - as if they're taken from a camera phone..
the diffuser is from Fujimura - really happy with it.. seemed like the evo-r had fitment problems - this was perfect fit.
the camber arms are spc..

the only thing im torn on now is that i've put a deposit on the F.I exhaust, but it is going to be way too low.. so i'm seeing if tony can modify it in anyway to get some more ground clearance without effecting the end product.. almost contemplating just getting hfc's and no cat back.. lets face it - the majority of the power is from the HFCS and the sound... well... the injen cai's give it good sound but i know that doesnt compare to an exhaust.. =(

They havent officially launched yet, they will be launching the end of September actually. They have just let us sell to a few customers looking for a certain price point, but for the same quality. Honestly its about time, someone brought a 3 piece forged wheel to the market and didnt charge $4k for them.
