Alrighty so now im onto ordering new wheels. I contacted D2Forged and they gave me a number for one of their NY distributors, Martino Auto Body in Glen Cove NY.

To make a long story short I am interested in the MB1's ( same ones on the black SL but in 19")
http://d2forged.com/v2/mb1.html

Derrick who I'm assuming is the owner or manager of the shop suggested that I go 8.5 in the front and 10's in the rear.

Now from what I understand 10's might be too wide/large but he tells me the peoples at D2Forged said it would fit. I like the aggressive setup but am I going to have issues/complications? The idea of fitting 10's in the rear tickles my nuts and I'm loving the feeling hahahaha.

BTW my ride is on stock springs but either today or tomorrow ordering a set of H&R or Vogtland springs until I can afford coilovers, that will probably be towards the end of the year.

As for tires what Ive planned is
Front: 235/35 19
Rear: 265/30 19

What are you thoughts about 10's in the rear?
If you have any suggestions/recommendations, speak up!

Salute!

You'll be fine. Tell them build them to flush spec for your car in the above recommended sizes and you'll love your tickled nuts a little more.

10" can be done with some low offsets. Beautiful wheels BTW!

chrislis

this is still cracking me up.

elijah

Im just super excited! Ive had my eyes on these wheels for months and I'm so close to getting them.

Ill be swinging by the shop tomorrow morning to place the order!

Mka77

That setup will look great. Might have to make a new plan for the rears @ 10" when it comes to the tire sizes. Bring on the 285's!!

elijah

Im so willing to go there bro. Just purchased a set of H&R springs, what else am I gonna need to fit 285s? The tickling is back...

Mka77

I think what chrislis said is spot on. Get them built to the right specs and tell them the size tires you are looking to run. Then your going to need some help getting your party parts in the car!

elijah

No doubt. We will be going over all the details tomorrow and Ill let you guys know what we come up with.

Mka77

Those guys will know exactly what you will be able to run. That's what they do. It gonna be freakin' tough looking dude.

elijah

That's exactly it, TOUGH!!

This is the first car I've owned that im making modifications to and I'm going at it like there's no tomorrow.

Mka77

Definitely an epic feat there elijah.

There's going to be some envy around here I feel shortly.

chrislis

are you prepared to spend a loooooot of money on wheels? haha.

Mka77

That's the "epic" part!

elijah

Ive been in contact with Derrick for some days now. When he first gave me the price over the phone I told him I would have to think about it and yesterday I called him back to tell him it was on so Yes I am prepared lol!!

dynomite05

Maybe time to roll some fenders.

elijah

Yup my baby is gonna go through quite some surgery when I get back home.

Nice wheels.

kostas86

Very nice wheels good choice! You will love the fatter tires, I had michelin ps2 305s on my Z and absolutely loved all the rubber in the rear.

bheng

man those are some good looking rims. haha

im still a fan of the brabus vi tho. might bring those up to 19" in the upcoming year.

elijah

Yea so I didn't have the time to go see Derrick today but I will def be there on Monday as Ill be on a business trip to Miami as of tomorrow and coming back sunday. I'll keep y'all posted...

kbahl21

there shop is 5min away from my house(im in syosset), the wheels look great in person...if u get them installed monday i can come by a take some pics while you are in the area. for free of course

user 76208202

You really hooking up the car bro. Going to have the tips shipped tomorrow

elijah

I'll be going there to discuss details and to empty my wallet. The wheels have to be made (5 to 6 weeks) and besides, my car is not in the area. Im having the wheels shipped overseas.

Sounds great! Can't wait to get em. Still wondering whether I should keep them chrome or blacj em' out!! I really like the idea of black car, black rims & black exhaust tips. Matter fact, the headlights might need a blacj treatment as well...

dr_npz

Blackout the ride for sure Those rims would look awsome in black.
