Default iForged Vision 19 x 9.5/19 x11 Anthracite & Chrome

Here are finally some pics of my iForged wheels. They are supposedly the last set of the Vision model/design ever made. I went with the anthracite finish and the chrome lip. It might look familiar to some of you, as this is the same wheel used on the Intense widebody G, but those are 22" size. The lips/offsets aren't very aggressive because I requested clearance for a StopTech front & rear BBK, which I have plans for in the near future.

But I did go aggressive on the rear tire size. I have 305/30-19 at the rear and 255/35 up front. The rear fenders were rolled and pulled. I went with the Bridgestone RE050A. I originally wanted Michelin PS2's, but the rear tire is a Porsche OEM tire and is on eternal backorder. Porsche dealerships supposedly have customers on a waiting list for it. So I decided to stick with the RE050A, since I was satisfied with it as the OEM tire for 30,000+ miles with excellent dry grip and cornering. This setup gripped like a motherF'er at the track last month on a road course, as pro drift racer Ryan Hampton can attest to.

Oh, and YES... I know I need a drop! I have plans for both coilovers and a StopTech BBK. Hopefully soon.

In the one pic (2nd from bottom) your rear fenders dont look rolled/pulled.

Looks nice though, with a drop will be 100X better. How much do the wheels weigh?

Thanks. Maybe it's hard to tell from the pics, but the rear fenders are rolled with a very subtle/minor pull towards the rear half of the wheel arch. They weren't rolled all the way flat with the inside of the wheel arch to avoid the paint from cracking. He also coated the inside where he rolled with some black paint. I guess I would need to take a picture from an underneath angle to adequately show it.

As for the wheel weights... I'm not sure. My spec sheet that came with the wheels is still at the (soon to be ex-wife's) house, so I don't have it with me at the moment.

I stopped by the house today and picked up my iForged inspection sheet that came with my wheels. Per the sheet, the offsets are +24 front and +35 rear. Obviously that's not very aggressive, but iForged was told that I need clearance for a StopTech BBK for both front and rear fitments.

Sorry Alberto. It didn't list what the weights are for my wheels. I'm guessing they weigh in the low to mid 20 range.

i don't understand, bbk clearance is not a function of offset only it has to do with the face used. They could have used those same wheel faces with larger lipped barrels and gotten more aggressive offsets with larger lips and the same BBK clearance

Your wheels are not listed but all of the i Forged listed in 19x11 are 27lbs and the 19x9.5 are 24lbs.

They look good and nice work on the tire sizes I would like to see closer pictures of the fenders I want to pull mine and I like the way it is not obvious your have been pulled.

nice setup! 11" @ +35 is about perfect... i wish my 10.5" were around +40 vs +29.

when i adjusted my camber to maximize my contact patch i barely cleared my fender. i had to go back, shave my fender lip and seal them. i can't wait to get the 305 PS2s on sitting in the garage, but i first need to wear out my Conti-2 295s

when you drop, remember to correct your rear camber or your 305s will be more like 265s...

Thanks.

I do intend to adjust camber appropriately when I do the drop. I have plans to install SPL rear mid links and camber arms (as well as SPL front A-arms) at the same time I have the Tanabe ProSEVEN coilovers installed.
