Hmmmmmmmm. Hope they all match!! You say as shown in pics but every pic ive seen, and there arent many, they have looked different. Some pics they look bland and darker than I would like but in others they pop like hell and have a beautiful color. Guess it all depends on how the light hits it. Good luck!

Yep, I have talked to my sellar many times, and told him to make sure they all look perfect before he even sends them (he is near Forgestar). All of the pics I have seen they look the same, and yes it is the light that makes them 'pop' and look very bronze. With no light they almost look like a black, and then with light, the bronze. I'm cool with that. I was tentative with Forgestar too, but for the price and the look it was worth the risk.

Those center caps look like pre-1900.

Were we supposed to get different once because that is the once that they just shipped with mine.

The center caps are supposed to be black carbon fiber looking. Contact your reseller, they will fix it. My new center caps will ship tuesday.
as for my rim, I was told by forgestar that that is a powder coating issue. I shipped it back and was told I would have it in time for my install on the 18th. I think that is the best solution regardless if it is a PC issue or not.

Not a chance on gods green earth that that dent came from powdercoating. They gotta be powdercoating their noses over there if they expect you to believe that. I had no idea powdercoating was such a high impact process

If they wont be willing to fix it I looked on the forgestar website and it says that they are $10, but i dont know if thats for one center cap or all 4

the only way thats a powdercoating issue is if the powdercoater dropped it. Powdercoating can't dent your wheels, and it looks like it was that way before it was even coated.

While I would tend (overwhelmingly) to agree, its also one of those 'whatever you have to tell yourself to help you sleep at night' type things. As long as they will fix it at no cost to me, and in less than 6 weeks I don't really care. hooray to keeping my install date!

Oleg: i'm pretty sure its 10$ a piece. Hope to be selling those silver ones in a few weeks

Can't wait to see them on the car

Man that really sucks about the wheel and the centercap....but mainly the wheel. I can't believe something like that left their hands and went into a customer's. I guess quality control cuts into profits.

rarwz · 06-07-2011, 06:36 AM

drum roll please......

The offsets and fitment are great. I would definitely say that you woudln't want to push the wheels out any more, as this is just a hair from the fender. Perfect.
