Are you sure the rears are 19s? They look like 18s to me. 18s are my preference BTW, I have a set of Nismos. Yours look awesome. On the pic. of the rear tire, I believe I am reading 18.

Morris...while you are waiting on the new caps...you can pull the red part of the cap off to reveal a plain silver center. Its just on there with light adhesive.

Thanks for the compliments. I have had the wheels and tires on the car for 5 days now. So, here is a little feedback.
I thought the wheels looked very good when I first put them on. But, now I think they look great! I like them more everyday.
What about wheel quality? Well, this is my first custom wheel, so I don't have much to compare them to. But, I think BC did a nice job. Are they perfect like the ones I heard about at SEMA? No. I had a couple of small scratches when I got them and the finish inside the spokes (not on the outward facing part of the spokes) seem inconsistent to me. And, I received the wrong center caps (in process of being corrected). But, I am very picky. Overall, I am happy with the quality.
What about tires? Thus far, I really like the Falkens. Much quieter
than the stocks. So far, I like the handling in aggressive street driving, and I think they look great on the wheel and car.
What about Discount Tire Direct Service? I dealt with Todd. And, I am very happy with the service. Todd told me it would take 4 to 5 weeks to get the wheels. I took about 10 weeks. It seems that BC had several delays and gave Todd incorrect information on status several times. But, Todd did a very good job and provding me with periodic updates and responding to my inquiries. They also gave me an additional disocunt for the long delay. I don't want to say how much it was, but I think it was generous.
At the end of the day, I am happy I hung in there through the delays. I could not have started over and gotten custom wheels any faster any where else. I think I got a quality, light weight, forged wheel at a good price. And, I am happy with the tire choice, and I thank Todd for helping me with that decision.
Would I buy BC Forged next time? I would certainly consider what they have to offer at the time and compare it others. All factors considered, I think they would have to a serious contender for me. If I was buying new wheels today, I think I would buy BC Forged again today.
Would I buy from from Discount Tire Direct again? Absolutely. We ran into unexpected problems, and I think they did everything they could to make it right.
Very satisfied customer.
Todd, thanks for all the effort.

I didn't weigh them. I recevied the wheels with the tires already mounted. I believe the fronts are 20lbs and the rears are 21 lbs. Working off memory. I think their website has the weights.

Morris, we appreciate your incredible patience during this situation. Unfortunately too many lines were crossed, and info didnt come out as it should have. I certainly thank you for being so cordial with me, and I appreciate your compliments on our service. In the end, you have yourself a very very rare set of wheels. Thanks again!
