I love the way iForged looks and fits on your ride. The quality and value of these bad boys are unquestionable, and if I were to have iForged wheels on my ride, I wouldn't even dare to try to parallel park LOL

straight clean and simple. Quality rollers and a good drop...that's all a GS really needs IMO. Everything else (body kits, etc.) is just an added bonus.
If you're not hell-bent on matching the calipers to the car, it may be easier to just go black or maybe even silver just for the sake of convenience IMO.
Also, remember that your springs will give a little more over time and your drop will be a little more substantial as the car "settles".
Nice work! Now go pimp that sh_t!!!

Hey Eric, Thanks for the compliments!! I agree. I've always like the GS body from the factory. I think a low wing like the WIN or Junction produce would be nice, to add sportiness but I like it clean and simple.
Regarding the calipers, silver would look pretty good with the polished rims and Zinc coated calipers - thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks, are the LTuned shocks less than $400.00?
D2, Eric
How long does it take for the springs to settle? Will that affect my alignment?
Johnee:
I completely missed the second part of your question
They are Hi-Polished. In the photos, they haven't been polished since they were put oin the car. The can actually get a little shinier, like the first image where I measured the lip. Your lips actually looks bigger than mine, what size are you running on the rear? Are yours clearcoated?

What problems are you having with the clear? Your rims look pretty blingy here:

thanks for the reply..The clearcoat is peeling from the lips and it's moving to the center of the wheel.I am going to let it peel on it's own and then get them stripped and polished..I just don't want to worry about the wheels staining or having an issue with the maintanence.. Thanks again..

Nice rims Darius. I think my friend and I saw you at Exact on 9/13. I was driving the black GS next to yours and my friend was in a black TL.
Those are the exact rims that he wants for his TL. Good choice.
