The new wheels are on...finally
I hate waiting for things like this, but the wheels finally came in. They look better in person that I thought they would.
As far as weight savings, I saved about 2lbs on each rear and the fronts are about the same as OEM. I knew getting these 20's would not really save me much. The look is exactly what I wanted. Here's a few pics.       the 08 hood is getting installed today.

Re: The new wheels are on...finally
I am not a fan of black wheels
 But your car looks super. And the red lip on the black wheels looks awesome. |

Re: The new wheels are on...finally
I was supposed to get the hood today, but there was a problem with the paint and he is having to redo it. Looks like it will be next week.

Re: The new wheels are on...finally
Love em'. I can't wait for mine. I saw those on the Forgeline site and fell in love from the moment I saw them. Great choice.
You got em' before I got em'. Good for you. Mine are supposed to be shipped today from IForged. Spoke with Vince yesterday at IForged and he is shipping my Monaco's out today. Same design as the Forgeline with black centers and red lips, although I had my lips powdercoated instead of painted, not sure if Forgeline powdercoats them. I will post my pics when I get them mounted. It looks like you went with Nitto's....nice choice. I decided on the Michelin PS2's because I wanted a bit more sidewall. Again - congrats........great choice. And I am happy you are in Texas so we don't run into each other with the same car. |

Re: The new wheels are on...finally
Hey U-R-Prey - one more thing. I own some real estate in Plano. I just caught on to the fact you live in Plano. I own an apartment building off Parker and the tollway in West Plano. Its close to Legacy Towne Center.
Where in Plano are you located? |

Re: The new wheels are on...finally
sundevillover,
I grew up in Plano. My office is at Legacy & Hwy 75. I now live just outside Plano in Lucas though. BTW, I hope no one in TX gets my wheels. I will be mad. I got these because I did not want to look like everyone else. ILLSMOQ, the wheels are 20x10 & 20x13.

Re: The new wheels are on...finally
Same feeling here. You have DFW covered and I have So Cal covered. So anybody out there looking for these wheels has to live outside these areas or else
 East Plano - got it. I am looking at an apt. deal at the same spot 75 and Legacy. I like the area but really like West Plano best. Enjoy the car  |

Re: The new wheels are on...finally
Here's one with the top up. Thought I would post it. I know these painted wheels are not the first choice for most of you, but I am in love with them.

Re: The new wheels are on...finally
I keep the top down 90% of the time...don't think I would get much use from the hard top.

Re: The new wheels are on...finally
viper spray, I appreciate your opinion, but I love the way it looks in person. To each his own. I was going for a more aggressive look. I bought these for 'me' and I am one who personally does not care about the 'looks' I may or may not get from other people. This gave me just was I was looking for....a smile on my face every time I see the car.

Re: The new wheels are on...finally
Man those wheels look absolutely superb. that truly makes the car really stand out in a good way. I am really liking the looks of these 20'x20's that we are seeing more of. I dont think its too much red at all, just perfect.

Re: The new wheels are on...finally
I think they look great. One of my wheel vendors has been wanting to make me a set of blue matched wheels like that for my coupe. I may try something a little different, as if my white wheels weren't already different enough
