Absolute sickness. What offset and tires are you running?
I'm trying to decide between these and the classic CEs in bronze...

WOW! Looks good! Curious though, the rear looks to have a smaller rolling diameter than the fronts. What size tires are you running?

you are correct. Good eye
here are the sizes
285/30ZR19 98Y RD
255/35ZR19 96Y RD

Forged Performance was concerned that any larger of a tire might have clearance issues

I really want to see this new color on a PPW. Looks great regardless!

I would think gold would clash with the orange but it looks great.

How is that not exploding your VDC?
285/30 is 1" shorter diameter wise from stock on the rear and 3.6% off stock at 60mph. Your fronts are near perfect OEM diameter...so that means you went from a +0.7" stagger F/R (dia) to a -0.3" stagger F/R.

People have been running 285/35, 295/35 or 30...and even large with some fender mods/camber. I dunno, 285/30 seems like far too small a tire out back especially considering your fronts did not scale down.

Sick wheels nonetheless...
