Wheels came in: Forgestar Bronze Burst!
 
8 Attachment(s)
Well, after 6 weeks, they finally came in. Forgestar F14 Bronze Burst, 19x11 et23 and 19x9.5 et30 with Hankooks 275/35 and 305/30. Took some quick pics, but the weather is dreary, and no prep on the tires. Went with Eric at Getyourwheels.com. Had a good experience, very nice guy and had the BEST price. I also have Swift, FI exhaust, Stillen G3. Enjoy!

Nice! :yum:

I bet they will really pop in the sun!

speedworks 05-16-2011 07:45 PM

Sun will definately make them pop, but I think they good even in overcast weather. I was concerned they would be too dark, but they are exactly what I was looking for.

:tup: Me like.

SPOHN 05-16-2011 08:16 PM

I approve. In for more pics.

Lemers 05-16-2011 08:23 PM

Nice wheels

onefastz 05-16-2011 08:49 PM

I want these in piano black so bad!

Ha ha just pm'd you Speed then said to myself maybe he posted pics in the wheel section. Again congrats. Yours def look brighter than most pics Ive seen. Hope mine come in just like that. Oh also I went 19x11 +23 rear too. Do you feel like it could use a spacer??

res0zsfa 05-17-2011 04:12 AM

oooooooo i likee. the finish came out well

speedworks 05-17-2011 07:26 AM

Guys, thanks for the comments. I think the offsets are great, look flush to me, along the fenders. I didn't (don't) want any rubbing. I also haven't gotten an alignment yet, so that will probably take out some camber as well. I like them so far, but haven't driven on them yet - forecast for the Boston area is rain most of the week. As I just washed and waxed the car, I want to keep it looking good - so for now she stays in the garage. One item that is interesting about Forgestar is they don't buff out the wheels in the inside; most likely you won't even see it, but that was one surprise to me. Love the color though, and look forward to some sunny days!

Looks great Steve!

They really bring out the rust on your brake disks ;)

But seriously, they look good.

ChrisSlicks 05-18-2011 10:02 AM

You're car almost looks like a clone of mine now. The bronze looks really sharp.

Don't worry, the sun will be back out in Boston in a couple of Months. :p Actually at this point Sunday isn't looking too bad. Even Saturday isn't looking horrible, probably just a late afternoon shower (hopefully auto-x is about done by then).

Yeah, in preparation for getting the new wheels, I washed and waxed the car, put her in the garage, and haven't been able to drive her since, due to the weather. Sounds crazy, but with limited time to wash the car (3 small kids, family, job, etc.....), I want to be able to enjoy the sharp looks a few days before it gets all dirty again :) One quick drive down the road, and the surface rust is gone!

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the whole package?

speedworks 05-19-2011 07:51 AM

^^ I don't want to give that out on a public forum, but call Eric, he will let you know - again, I checked many of the sponsors and non-sponsors and he beat everyone.

Alchemy 05-26-2011 11:30 PM

Any sunny day pics yet???

onefastz 05-27-2011 05:40 AM

Do you plan on getting a camber kit?

dAvenue 05-27-2011 04:43 PM

I really, really, like the Bronze. Post up some sunny pics!

speedworks 05-27-2011 06:32 PM

No pics yet - I have only been able to drive it one day in the last 2 weeks, and I am traveling now, so eventually I will get them. I love them, they definately give the car a japspec look, which is what I wanted. When I am around, and it is sunny, I will take some pics. No alignment yet, want to wait a few weeks, so everything is settled.

NISMOFO 06-02-2011 05:30 PM

Those looks sweet. I think you PM'd me before ordering these? I'm so glad you went with the +23 rear offset too.

Just a hint, I found that 325/30R19 Nitto Invos should fit nicely on those rears. If I were keeping my F14s, I would go that route I think.

speedworks 06-05-2011 08:58 PM

^^ I won't be changing tires anytime soon. I've had my car for 2.5 yrs and only have 11k, so these wheels/tires will last until I probably get rid of it :)
