Wow! I'm overwhelmed by the positive response and kind words, everyone. Yes, I wanted to pick something that was mean and yet classy, and dare I say - sexy. I too was VERY tempted to go the CCW 50x route and I know they would've looked great, but I decided to go with the spoked look ala the C5R, but in a darker finish. I'm glad I decided to - "dare to be different".

Thank you!

Don't know. We just told Iforged to give us the deepest lips possible and still fit properly. The info might be on my build slip. If I find it, I'll post it.

IForged offsets are not released to the public including myself!
When Doug and I went over his wheel options we decided on the widest lip and still keep a proper fit which they did exactly.

Perfect color choice for MY! Do the rear tires protrude outside the fenders or are they flush? If you have any pictures that show the rear fitment I'd love to see them. I was sold on the CCW C-14's but I like yours better. What do they weigh??

I think the rears might protrude maybe 1/8" more than before, but it's really hard to tell without having another car to directly compare. The fronts and rears are perfectly matched in terms of stance. The rear tires definitely look wider than the OEM Supercars. I'd read that lots of folks thought the 305/30 19 PS2s were about the same width as the GY, but I think the 305 actually does look wider.

As I mentioned in an earlier reply the wheels are about 2-3 lbs heavier. I'll probably go to a light weight 2 piece rotor in the near future anyway, so that might help offset the weight.
