New shoes - Forgestar CF10

I recently received my wheels/tires and I'm very happy with it.

Wheels (Forgestar CF10) and Tires (Michelin Pilot Super Sport):

Color - Textured Gunmetal
Front - 19x8.5 +45, 245/35/19
Rear - 19x10 +52, 275/30/19

I thank everyone from the forum who shared their feedback on the Michelin PSS. It helped me finalize my decision to try it. I'm quite pleased with the wider tires, I'm more confident driving the car hard and around the corners.

If anyone is looking to get a set of wheels locally (Toronto, Canada), I highly recommend the shop SimplyTire.

Pics of the car with the shoes (I'm sorry for the poor BB pic quality).

Are the rear wheels deep concave or semi concave?

I think they look alright

Awesome!! I like these much more than the F14s as they look a lot like the BS wheels.

Looks good, thinking of getting a set.

For 8.5 front wheel, I think +40 is a good offset

Those wheels/tires look very good on your car. Have you considered a drop? Your car would look fantastic with a drop.

Really really sweet pics with the new wheels! Grats man! because of the wait, I am thinking of going with another brand but we should meet up one day to do a photoshoot once I get whatever I decide on at the end lol

to _timothy, our reputable wheel dealers here on mbworld informed me. hopefully yours was made before the backlog.

Looking great! Great color combo & agreed on the drop.

And what's up with the long wait, I mean they r a popular & inexpensive wheels, but the company should predict & stock up more of the blanks. It seems to happen more than often with them. Too bad cuz I had friends who just looked elsewhere due to this reason.

Your right Allen is great! I can't wait to see those wheels on your beast.

The rears are deep concave, but the pics don't give it justice .

Unfortunately, I don't know the weights.

I definitely considered dropping the car, I hope to do it next year.

Congrats. I picked up a set in gloss gunmetal from Allan last week as well for my coupe. If you plan to drop the car, you will have to do stretch a 265 tire on there...stick your hand behind the tire on the passenger side...it is extremely tight in there already on the stock suspension. 275 rear with 10" 52ET is a perfect set up for a non lowered car. The tire pretty much fills out the whole wheel well from fender to inner liner.

btw i had a chat with Allen for some other stuff but when the discussion went to forgestar, he said that they outfitted 12 C63s recently with forgestar.

damn... lol

It's a tight fit indeed, but it should clear. I'm running the same set-up on my SV1 wheels : 19x10 +52mm with 275/30 on H&R... and no rubbing.

I think it is so touch and go that it depends on the brand of tire. Falkens would clear no problem as they run skinny. I think Michelin runs ride though. I'm on bridgestones with stock suspension and have no rubbing at all with the above setup.

I am running Michelin PSS in 275/30/19 on 10" rims ET+53 and I have no rubbing so far. I have not done the 4 adult over a big dip at speed test yet though just as a caveat.

They look awesome - only issue I had with these was the weight. If you can, grab the comparable HRE offering (feels like a feather).
