I don't usually like CF, but those look pretty good. About the 10.5" rear..... that's simply not true. My iForge are 19x11 (rears) and there's plenty of clearance for the ducts.

I agree. My CCW 505's were 11 and my Forgelines are 11, and I never had to remove the duct work. Beautiful wheels you have there. Nice choice.

My CCW 505s were 11.5" and they BARELY rubbed the rear ducts on a lowered car when the suspension was compressed (turning etc.)

I know what you guys are saying about the sizes, but when I get a call saying the guy on the machine isn't sure that he can get them to clear - what's a half inch? Especially on the back side of the rim. I still get the same size lip, run the same size tire (305), and it's not like these are track wheels where I need every ounce of performance. So no big deal.

Although in hindsight, it took me a while to be able to say that. I was pretty annoyed when I first heard that. But now, they look great and I can't wait to get them on the car this weekend. Of course after a 2.5 month wait, who wouldn't be excited to finally get them!!!

Thanks for the compliments all.

I'm glad you got your rims, personally I don't care for Carbon Fiber look nor the black out rim look.

With so many horror stories lately about these high $$$ rim manufacturers, it's good to see a satisfied customer.

I have a darker colored car and need something with a little more shine.
