FINALLY, new shoes are in and on!!!

They took a while (as anyone that has Forgestars knows) but they finally arrived and were installed earlier.

Yes, they are piano black on silver - so haters, save it. They are new to me and I love them.

These are fresh pics from today, not cleaned and no tire shine. Car is not lowered and probably wont be based on what I see. I am thinking about painting the calipers at some point.

19x8.5, ET32 on Hankook 255-35-19s
19x10, ET35 on Hankook 285-30-19s

Thanks to all those who helped along the way by answering the semmingly endless questions. Thanks to Forgestar and Peter Chaney, even if they took forever. And thanks to Jeff and Bryan P @ Fox Tire for being oh so meticulous installing them.

Cheers

I was so careful on the drive home...i have no idea how the grip is!!
It was a nice overall drive so im pleased about that....i did not want to wreck the ride so 19s were critical...so far so good...

I assume you mean a small drop based on the rear gap...there wasnt much of a gap in the front so i was leaning towards no drop...

anyways, thanks....

Really changes the look of the car!!! Now you just need a STAR/DAS lowering to set it off. I got mine lowered over the weekend and 2finger gap all around.
