Lol! I don't have to worry about those speeds for a while, so the SR will do fine for now.

No body at Forgestar seems to know much about them, but Jake got my fronts to me in a week. That included repowdercoating them gloss black.
I don't have any rears yet as I've mentioned, but They should fit over the smaller brakes without issue.

Thanks Mike! I talked with Jake tonight and ordered a full set in Piano black. Rears are out of stock for a couple weeks at least but they'll make their way here eventually.

Good deal!

Now call Jake back and make sure that the caps come with the wheels.

While you have him on the phone, ask him about my caps as well.

That looks like it's not seated with the wheel almost.
How much PSI? Bump it to 40 PSI.

I'm going to use the M/T Sportsman S/R size 26x6/18.
