You're welcome. Why not try the matte black first? The color combo is crazy!

Thanks again chief63!!!

I love the Matte Black too because it's more satin with a sheen rather than flat black...

but I'm kinda scared the car will look a little "tuner"....since my car isn't black too

Really? Just $1399? Were they new? That's just sick I want these as a second set for winter or... or i'll just get myself a second summer set of wheels They're amazing in black satin! I'd leave them the way they are (although gunmetal is also nice).

Does anyone know how much it would cost to ship these to Germany or Poland? Or maybe a European Forgestar distributor?

They don't have specific prices on their website, but a 19" set of Forgestars for Posche costs 4500CHF which is approx. $4500. How did buy your wheels for $1400 ?

$4500 is for the forged series of wheels, most likely.

They have flow-formed series which is much less expensive.

It's all on their site: www.forgestar.com

Most of the distributors in the US sell them for that price - you may want to seriously consider buying them here and having them shipped to you (I highly doubt that shipping is going to work out to 3100.00). I just got back from visiting family in Europe and it always amazes me what costs the same here and there and what is radically more expensive over there.

All the US suppliers are selling them for around $1399 + shipping for the 19's

So it might be worth it if you bought them from this side of the pond

Not cast, but flow formed. Same technology as BBS wheels..

They seem to be good wheels. Be prepared to wait a long time if you order them. I just canceled my order after being told it was going to be near the end of the summer to get 'em after I had ordered in Feb.

Just got the wheels back from the paint shop and they look incredible...

Sprayed them with a coat of "Liquid Metal"

Will try and install the tires tonight and post some pics

Just got them mounted...the RE-11's are awesome....

The car still needs a slam bad!!! Thank god my H&R's came...they're going on next week (pics are stock ride height with P30 suspension)

No rubbing at all....I think you can even push the backs out another 5MM and 10MM in the fronts (ordering the spacers now)

some quick shots from my iPhone...

I took it for a hell run today and the suspension settled down alot....

i`m almost debating the drop now (with qship`s feedback) because it drives so nice with the RE-11`s and the P30 suspension (it`s like they were made for each other)...

but i have the springs in my garage ready to go...

i`m gonna drive it over the weekend and then decide....

the pics are deceptive....it sits lower than it appears...almost no more to go in the rear....


but i still think it needs to be done
