Default Iforged TE10s installed

Took some quick pictures of my new Iforged TE10 wheels (Track Edition, 10 spoke) in anthracite finish after work today. They are shod with Michelin PS2 rubber - 265/35 18 and 305/30 19. Wheel specs are 18x9.5 and 19x11. The pics aren't the greatest, but I'd love your feedback. I tried to go with something rather subdued and businesslike since MY isn't exactly a "shy" color.

I bought these thru AutoBuffs, and working with John was an absolute delight. He kept me informed thru the rather long process of building the wheels, and was quite responsive and good-natured with all my inquiries. I highly recommend John, Noel and Autobuffs. The wheels ain't bad either.

I didn't like "spokey" wheels for a long time --

But those are simply bad@azz! Congrats!

Thanks! What I like about these spokers is the nice arc from barrel to hub. Gives the wheel more style and class. I find a lot of people don't care for spokes, but they seem to like these. Maybe it's because they have a little more geometry going for them!

Nicely done, the style and colour seem to go very well the MY Z shape
Any idea how much they weigh front/rear?

Yes, I weighed them prior to installation. The front wheels themselves were about 2-3 pounds heavier than stock, and the rears about 4-5 pounds. I was surprised given their supposed "track" breeding, but handling doesn't seem to have suffered at all. I'm very happy with the overall outcome. I may go to some lightweight 2-piece rotors someday to try and offset some of the weight, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

They are simply mean, bad@zz and yet great looking wheels, u made a good choice. I love non glossy black wheels on MY and Speedway white Z06's. And yep those quick pics actually came out nicely.

Wow, those came out awesome. I was down to two wheel choices last year when I was buying wheels for myself, TE10s or CCW C14s. The white Porsche GT3 with black TE10s on iForged site almost sold me, but I ended up going the CCW route. It's fun to see now that I wouldn't have gone wrong no matter which wheel I chose. The 3D/Volk-ish look of the wheels is what really makes them stand out over a normal spokey rim. Awesome!
