My new Forgestars. . . (they're not black:)

First a big THANK YOU to Mike (aka the Godfather). He was with me every step of the way and made the buying experience everything that it should have been - once again, Godfather, I cannot thank you enough. You have a customer for life if my modding fits your catalog.

Second - once again to the guys at Benz Elite - literally called when UPS dropped them off - had them on a couple of hours later (and they served me hotdogs while I waited). I have nothing but mad love for these guys...

The Forgestars:
Brushed Titanium
Fronts 19 X8.5
Rears 19X10
Here's some pics I shot at the shop. . .

Thanks man - yeah it's going back next week for K&N's and new plugs - we're going to mess around with different heights via Star but the consensus seems to be lower the front.

BT, looks phenomenal!!!!
Thanks Charlie - next step is to be a little quicker on the draw when CF engine parts become available

Thanks - I don't know about the trim yet - but the thought has crossed my mind on more than one occasion.

My black trim is one of my favorite mods so far since I did it my self and only cost a couple bucks and not to many people have done it, so it makes your car different form the rest. Just my opinion but your car your mods. Either way you car looks GREAT.

I like the black ones, and at first I was going to go with gun metal (thanks again Mike) but I was trying to switch things up without drawing too much attention (I do like to exceed the posted speed limit, and I am currently running illegal tints (which are about to get darker because recently, on two separate occasions, guys have seen my wife driving it and tried to follow her back to our neighborhood)

titanium F14's FTW
seeing your car on the Forgestar blog helped cement my decision

nice, which Conti's are those?
EDIT: How do you like the Conti DW's?
They are the DW's; I have the DWS' on the stock 18's for my winter set up and I absolutely loved them so it wasn't that hard to pull the trigger (I drive it in the rain so wet traction was a big consideration for summer tires). I've only had them on for about 40 miles so I really can't tell anything yet. Two things I've noticed immediately 1) SUPER quiet 2) going from 18's to 19s didn't hurt the ride at all which tells me that the side walls are a little soft (I'm running them at 35psi all around, if I get really bad "push" I'll increase the psi to see if that helps). I'll post a more in-depth review after a couple of thousand miles. . .

Great shop and great guys. It was recommended to me from someone on this forum and I have been going to them ever since. Both of the owners are master MB mechanics. To put it in perspective - EuroMotorCars is less than two miles from my house - I drive to Alexandria so they can do all the work. Have not even been close to being disappointed!

Nice!

And thank goodness someone finally put a silver/brushed wheel on a black car. So, so tired of the black wheel thing Looks great!
Does anybody have, or do they make, this wheel in a 20" fitment?

I'd like to give them a try....

but I keep seeing these posts about people waiting, etc. Do they actually have any wheels for inventory? Sometimes I don't even keep my car 2 months....or can someone suggest a reliable seller who may have some inventory? I know the oneauto guys seem to have a large presence here, but their web page has been down for over two months, and I'm always a little hinky when the seller doesn't tell me where they are...Thanks....
