Iphone pics are up. Initial thoughts are the front need a spacer 5 or 10mm. Rears can now go 295 or 305.

305 may be too wide for a 9.5 rear?

Now what color calipers?

What are you doing with old wheels? Why the change? I love the new wheels, just curious. And Lambo Orange! Do it, will be a great contract!

The Forgestars are for sale. Front passenger side is cracked and thought it was time to mix it up as I had F14's for 3+ years.

The offset on these is not nearly as aggressive as the Forgestars, but just means more room for rubber in the rear. Front could use a small spacer (5 or 10). Thanks for the compliments!

New Wheels look fantastic! Love the color choice too!295 would be MAX I would run on a 9.5" I have 295s on my Forgestars I bought from you and the sidewall has some bulge to it. I'd be afraid to run a 305 on it

Ya your right, 295 is max for a 9.5 wheel. Too bad these weren't 10 wide. Whats your rear offset? Do they sit flush?

Very Nice!!

Regarding calipers, what about Petronas green. A guy over here in the UK has just done his C63, I haven't seen it in the flesh but from the pics the contrast looks good and would be similar on your car.

Orange is too obvious, looks good but too many have gone down that route IMO.

19x8.5 et35 and 19x9.5 et40. Not aggressive enough for my taste. Will be adding a spacer up front and 295s out back.
