Default Just got my wheels in!!!!!!!

Hey guys, Just got my wheels in, Forged specialties FS M20. I went with 19x9.5 and 19x10.5. I did some research on the forum, and I order +17 front and +15 rear. I am getting them mounted this week, and the company says they are sending over a photographer for free!!

I couldnt be happier, they are crazy looking, and I couldnt beat the price. I will start a new thread when they do the shoot. I am going crazy over here, I was told after xmas delivery, and they arrived this week!! I am also going to black out my headlights, and paint my calipers gold. I know I dont have brembos or something, but the stocks look terrible now. Here is a pic I stole from the site:

Bare with the crappy blackberry pic, and the backround. I have been getting my wheels and tires mounted for years with these guys. I was a old school bmw guy before, so this is my first newer type car, and new wheels too. I dont think I will be able to go back after these wheels, to used cast stuff.

Paint them silver if you must paint them - they look stock that way, just cleaner.

Lol Ok Ok, since you guys helped me pick the perfect offset, I will def take the suggestion on the brakes, you think just black would be ok?

I dont have full pics yet, I will take one of the car tomm. I left it there, so that they can finish the spring install, I went with Tanabe. If it doesnt lower it enough, I may cut a link off b/c i plan I getting coils when my shocks go.

Lower it!


I don't see any of the required 2x4's or sheets of wood to be able to get jacks like that under the car when lowered!

Wheel looks nice given the picture, however, this low-res picture must have blurred the existence of jack stands, RIGHT?

Newb, go look up what a spring mount mod is before you make an assumption. For your information you don't cut the spring! Don't make yourself look like a fool and your ftl, lol.
