Did you see a significant ride quality penalty compared to the stock Pirellis?

I can tell already it's going to look great! I've been dying to try out the RE-11's. My RE050A's are holding up too well though lol. Can't wait to read your impressions.

Well...I am only 500Klm in. I am running 19" vs 18" OEM wheels so right out of the gate the ride suffers. I did run a 19" Pirelli last year in 235F - 265R. My RE-11's are 245F - 275R and I do find the ride to be about the same even with the stiffer sidewalls. The RE-11's do seem to handle road irregularities like pot holes and expansion joints much better. Not as harsh...

Handling is another story. Can't wait to test them on the track.

I'm interested either way, just in case I don't like gloss gunmetal those are my next options, but I'm sure you'll be happy it looks good already.

They look great the way they are. Lucky for you that you didn't have to order them, or you might be waiting till next summer, 2011 that is...

Sorry - I have to chime in & say that from ordering (even from a 3rd party) to delivery it was just over a month for me. I can't speak to anyone else's experience, but mine was solid with stellar customer service on Forgestar's part.

I was totally going to order a set about a month ago from Godfather, but then started seeing threads pop about the long wait times so i abandoned the thought of purchasing a set all together because i did not want to wait until the summer to get them....

But i was very lucky to pick up this set. Still had to drive 6 hours to Montreal and back but it was well worth it
