You can see even in the bad pic, the car needs to go lower in the back.

Everyone loves the wheels, like it was the best money i have ever spent. If you guys have a good budjet, i suggest forged specialties alll day. I bought them through wheeltrends.com, and i was even put in contact with one of the owners when i had a specific question about lugs.



i have been getting alot of pms about pricing, i paid around $3k, that is their regular pricing apparently. I was in the search for jlines, and then these were way better priced and the service was just awesome. I promised i would help them out on the forums, so here is a link to the site www.forgedspecialties.com . I know i am no good at marketing, but its the least i can do. I am a happy customer that is for sure.

I am thinking i may get a front lip now, but not to much into bodykits so gotta find something simple, let the search begin.
sorry comparison picture ended up on next page, lol.

I have a pretty good alignment guy, but honestly to avoid rubbing I know I have to run negative camber, it is what it is. I like the slight cambered look anyways, so I am going to see how much we can get it close to spec, but if not ill buy the kit, no biggie.

If you do the rear spring mount mod, you won't have a choice. You will need to get a camber kit with a toe bolt. running camber is fine but you don't have any toe adjustments from the factory and if you lower any more you will go through tires like crazy. I'm letting you know from experience. I was going through tires like underwear, lol. I thought just like you, ahhh i'll just wait on the camber kit, lol. Don't get owned like I did.

+ 1 on tire size

also if your ok with running -camber.... then just buy new toe bolts and fix your toe.... especially since we all know that toe is what kills the tires NOT camber

Car looks great! It has a lot of potential, but you got to lower it to fit those wheels properly and give it a nice stance. No, I'm not saying add 30mm spacers and put 215's on it and run like -12 camber. But lower it a bit, add some neg camber, and get a Veilside V1 Lip if you can get your hands on one. I love seeing nice wheels on HR's!

Thanx waizz, anyone with a post count like that I am sure has been around haha, so good words from you I will not complain about. I have been getting more pms about the color, but guys forged specialties calls this their hyperblack, its on their website and the main picture I put up. Its really nice, and in the light it has like a different shade on it.

They are the ones who suggested it, and man I think I will take ALMOST everyones advice haha for now on for stuff.

Heres a clearer picture, I am an idiot and I scratched one of my centercaps bad. It was just dumb of me, so no rears in the pic, BUT I called to buy 2 extra and they said no worries. They are sending me out 2 of them today, can you really beat that type of customer service, I screw up and they take the bill haha.

you paid 3 grand for those? You could have found some VS-XX in a more aggressive offset and possibly in the black chrome for that price..
