I'm hoping I can do that tomorrow. A friend of mine who has a 350z called me out and wants to get together tomorrow night so I'd like to have these mounted and ready to go! Also joining us will be a viper acr, Ferrari f430, a turbo GTP, Turbo Supra (F&F style) and possibly a Gallardo and a few others...I'll be bringing my camera

Cool!

Looking forward to the pics.

BTW - I'm one day behind you. I got the UPS notice that my CCW wheels/tires package is scheduled for delivery tomorrow!

Another mod weekend...

I really like the looks of the Forgestar wheels. They have some nice color and finish options. Including a carbon fiber look.
We'll be looking forward to seeing some pics.

A deal fell through on some front tires, so I will only be mounting the rears tonight. Probably get the fronts in a week or so.

Forgestar use to have two carbon finishes, hydrocarbon and actual carbon fiber. They stopped doing the hydro carbon, and still offer the carbon fiber but it cost an additional $500 per wheel...a little to much for my liking, but damn they look good!

I only got to put on the rear wheels today as I'm still waiting for my front tires. Wheels are a little dirty from the tire grease, but never the less...









Last night I got together with some friends, but everyone forgot to bring a camera, go figure. Crappy cell phone pic...Viper acr, c5, 350z, and yes that is a sleeper GTP with a turbo

I am not into black rims, as long as you like them who cares about the rest of us. Be prepared for some good comments and some rude comments. I know when I bought mine , I couldn't stop looking at them, My wife told me stop going into the garage and looking at your wheels. Good luck .

Looks like they shipped them still in primer. What color are you going to paint them?
