Here is a sneak peak of my new Forgestars. They won't be mounted until
some time in March if the weather ever breaks on the East Coast.

I went with 18x8.5(ET44) fronts and 18x9.5(ET53) rears(thanks superlubricity)
in Gunmetal with an Obsidian Black pinstripe. I wanted to be
different so I went with a pinstripe and I really like the look.

I'm planning on using Nitto NT555R(285/35ZR18) drag radials in the
rear and NT555(245/40ZR18) up front. I enjoy driving on DR's.

The TPMS are from Tirerack.

I also have conical style bolts in black coming from RPM North.

So, the gunmetal wheels with black pinstripe and black bolts
should give me a unique look.

Thanks to James at ACG-SanDiego for hooking me up with a great
deal and getting them to me in a timely fashion.

Just waiting on that pulley James.

I plan on installing the following to finish off the look.








Also, Dad's CF vented hood should add the final touch.

Look forward to seeyin how everything turns out!

Sweet! What color is your rig?

PetroC63

You and I both.



Obsidian Black, the pinstriping is an exact match.

Just curious, how much did the sensors cost? I hope they are cheaper than the factory ones.

Thanks,

PetroC63

They were $56 each from Tirerack.

PetroC63

Doh!

Just realized I misspelled peek in the thread title.

Can a moderator fix that please.

At the rate we are going you wont be mounting these until JUNE!!! Nice wheels though.

PetroC63

Thanks.

This winter has been brutal, can't wait for it to be over.

mthis

Nice, looks good, weight reduction, and DR's all day everyday is the way to go!!!

PetroC63

Thank You.

I like rolling on DR's when the weather is good.

Good luck at MIR.

Roswell

Nice bunch of mods you got there!! I'm sure it will be a long wait for you until springtime, winter has been harsh for you guys down there.

BTW, I'm curious to see if the black pinstripe on your wheels might make the wheels look smaller than they are??

efx1

looks like this
except these are 20's

draz.amg

good lookin wheels

Roswell

Your 20s looks great!! What I'm saying is if your pinstripe is black, your rims might look 19's instead?

Mort

Looks like this might help you pass the winter a little at least. Expecting a foot of snow here today and we are a month to 6 weeks behind you in the spring generally. Have fun with the new goodies and the car will be looking great soon.

MiamiAMG

Very nice rims!
Quick question. What are those CF pieces under the diffusor?

khmergod

CF Aprons.

MiamiAMG

I see. So they go on the rear bumper's side skirts?

khmergod

No, front bumper tips.

MiamiAMG

Cool. I've never seen that before.

khmergod

Adds a little flare if you don't want a full lip.

PetroC63

They might, I'm hoping they won't. The main reason for the wheels
were for weight savings but I do like the look of the F14's too.

Thank you.

It helps a little but now the wheels are sitting in boxes waiting for
spring.

As others have stated, there aprons. I didn't want to go with a full
lip and this was exactly the look I wanted.

Thanks for posting the pic khmergod.
