plus a set of Forgstar f14s ( even in 20") are as light or LIGHTER than my OEM 17s were.
If the ridiculously large wheels I'm trying out today from IMRs Fortune G wont fit or look stupid, this is what im gonna end up going w....
20" Forgestar F14 in Bronze Burst. PRice is now down from 3400 dollars to a normal retail of 1699 and you can chose ANY color avail... custom offsets avail, and 4 week lead time, and all parts are in stock. ( these are 22's)

time to fix my signature pics... haha.
I ditched the XXR 526s and went w the IForged 22s.. new Pirelli PZero Nero rubber..
and tomorrow they finish the front fender roll, pull, and trim and do some upper camber arms w a few degree negative to let them poke a bit.
It aint for everyone, but I like it.
Anyways, guess im outta this XXR thread now.
Good luck tho fellas.. Id still like to see how the 526s youve ordered turn out in real life (pics etc).
When you get em fit, post em up.

the first pic looks a little weird sure.. its the lighting.
its authentic and was done at IMR. i didnt cheap out on any part of this car.. been there, done that before....id assume that was obvious so far.
Wavy?No. Not at all. All done properly. Would it be cooler if i rolled my fenders w a phone book and a floor jack?Nah.. haha. jk.
Inch by inch, its actually pretty perfect... it took a month to fit. And Han the owner did much of the fit work... very skilled dude.
at 10 feet away most cars look pretty good. Mines done pretty well i must say..... alot of small details not overlooked.
BUUUUUUT at this point im kind of thred jacking.. this thred nt bout me. Mus go way.

so out of curiosity i called XXR to see if they ever got those 20x11s in stock and what the weight was.. they STILL dont have a weight for you guys and said they hada few in but not anywhere enough to fill backorder, and expect the next wave will be in at the end of May or early June... WOW.
F that, glad i pulled the plug.. didnt go w the 22s either btw.. was a terrible idea.
F14s in bronze on the way. Still subd to see pics of these 526s tho.... someday.

I dont see why its so damn hard for companies to understand.... They see X amount of preorders so they should produce double that and ship it for the first run.... its not rocket science..... How is a company going to fail this badly.... im about ready to pull my order because im not going to wait another couple months for a 2011 series wheel.... I mean these are supposed to be here by FEB!!!!! not freaking June or July at the earliest. Granted I ordered the 18 inch so maybe those will come in a little earlier but still....

i hear ya man. whether it makes sense or not, the wait is what it is.. i just chose not to wait that long for a heavy, standard cast wheel . If it was a set of Work Emotions for 900 bucks, id wait a year w a smile. haha.
