Forgestar F10 Silver
Yes, it took 5 months for them to arrive but other than the wait for them I'm very happy.
This is just a teaser pic, I"ll get the SLR camera out in the next day or so and get some good pictures of them.
Specs: 20 x 9 / 20 x 10.5, 245/30/20 & 285/25/20 Falken 452's.
Weight: I had factory chrome wheels with smaller than stock snow tires mounted on them that came off the car for a weight comparison (225/255). Compared to the stocks / snow combination I lost .4lbs per corner for the rear wheel / tire combo but gained .6lbs per corner on the front. I'm guessing compared to stock sized OEM tires the weight is likely to be a wash which isn't horrible for going up 2" in wheel size. Yes I do realize there's more weight towards the outside of the new wheel / tire combo which gives up some in performance but I don't feel like the car really lost much.
Still got to play with ride height a touch, gonna go a bit lower in the rear. No rubbing as it sits presently.

looks nice man. I could never wait 5 months though, you must be a patient person. I lost interest in my DPE's after 8 weeks and now they are sitting in my garage contemplating just selling them.

The '55 is my wife's daily...so it's one of those out of sight, out of mind things. Once the weather got warm I started to focus on other automotive things. I was pretty antsy in March when they initially didn't arrive as scheduled.
