New Shoes for the BS

My wheels came in a few weeks ago so finally had a chance to get some photos in. These are Forgestar CF10s 20x10 (265/30) and 20x11 (305/25). Fitment is perfect, although I had a terrible time finding tires. Grip is way better and comfort is up. The car is more planted under typical driving due to the wider setup, but the OEM Corsas (Not surprisingly) felt better under very spirited cornering.

Enjoy the pix and big ups to Tiko and the crew at Need4Speed for their outstanding service.

Looks great. Nice job on the matte gray wrap.

Do you know how much the wheels weigh?

That looks real nice! I went with the Forgestar CF5's in 19x10, 19x11 with 275's/305's, no fitment issues at all.

Thanks guys.

Wrap was done at Rolotech in Anaheim, CA. They did a great job!

These are approximately 24.5lb F and 26lb R. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the stockers are 24lb F and 28lb R, which are quite heavy for forged 1pc wheels. So weight is pretty much a wash here.

@EUROTOYS - Did you go with 275/30 and 305/30? I like that set up, it's more meaty but it may only work for the 19s. With the 20s it might hit the fenders.

I missed that you went with 20's. I weighed all of mine when I got them, I apologize that I can not find where I put the specs. However, I know mine were heavier than stock by about 2 lbs in the front (each) and around 2.5 lbs in the rear (each). That was okay with me since I knew the brake rotors I put on were lighter than OE (4.5lbs lighter on each front rotor).
