They look crazy big bro, and yes they do look like chrome. You came a long way from those ghetto 20s on your old first gen GS. Handle change- Dgotforged20s.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Absolutely beautiful and georgeous looking wheels bro!!!

Inner barrel polished??? Wow!!! The look amazing Derrick!!!

Are you eventually going to get your wheels clearcoated so that keeping them clean is much easier?

I need to get the inner barrels polished on my wheels - they look so nasty. How much more per wheel did you have to pay to get your inner barrels polished? You can PM me if you like.

Please weigh the wheels front and back let us know the weight of each. I am very curious to know what they weigh.

And as a lot of other people said, PUT THEM ON THE CAR, TAKE SOME PICS AND SHARE THEM WITH US!!!!

Hey guys thanks for the comps. I really did not wanna do the "teaser thing" and my tires arent here so I figured some pics of them would suffice. I'm not the "teaser" type, that can get 'cha hurt 'round these parts. LOL

PM's sent regarding pricing.

Weight- I will edit my orginal post. They weigh 26-27lbs each

As far as the timeline goes, I really dont want to put those guys in an awkward position by posting the intricate details of my timeline. I would not want to give a false perception that they can crank out all wheels overnight. The standard wait time is 4-6weeks, and I was given assurance that I would have them within that time frame.

Ya, right!!! Dont forget what I scoped out in your classifieds thread buddy! I know you have some 'treats' coming!! LOL Trust me man, we are all in this for the love, I cant wait to see the results of your project!!

Just my luck it is raining here, so I hope it stops for a long enough time to sneak over to the wheel shop, get these mounted, shoot a few pics, and get the car back under the cover!! I'm so pissed, I have waxed my car about 4times in the last week, and have been keeping it covered. I was so excited about my new wheels last night that I didnt cover it, woke up this morning to rain

Nice wheels. Iforged makes some nice products. Im glad you didnt have any problems receiving them. The guys on the Corvette Forum had alot of problems in dealing with them and also receiving them . I think that people are still waiting on orders from almost a year ago.

Looking forward to seeing the pics of them on the car.

i'm very happy that u r going 2 get some new wheels and am looking forward 2 seeing U'R thread on them....
