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).

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.

Thanks everyone for the comments .
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.
I can't wait, I'm looking forward to meeting up and doing the photoshoot .

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.

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).
