Thanks guys for the compliments 
Also Thanks Derrick for everything you did for me. I really appreciate it. I have to tell you guys that Derrick was extremely patient with me even when I asked him the same question 5 times
For all those that are considering the iForged group buy I say go for it. Not only because iForged is a great quality wheel but also because Derrick will take great care of you. Thanks again for everything

The car looks really good- I am always shocked to see how much those iForged look like the HRE 841R!
The T1-R should be a great tire- I am hearing it's better than the old T1-S in every category.
Let us know how they hold up!

Then he told me they were $100 less than the original quote so the total was $1238 installed. Man was I excited. Anyway here are the pics:
And last here is a shot of the tread pattern. Yes I know its dirty
I am planning on lowering the front a tad more. The coilover on the front there was damaged and had to be replaced and I did that about 2 weeks ago so I will probably adjust it this weekend, maybe during the week and bring it down a little bit. I also know I need a kit badly. I had the WIN kit and that was just too low for me so now I have a few kits I am looking out for, plus a few other things. I also just received my UGO roof spoiler but that wont be painted until I decide on a kit. Stay tuned
Edit: 1 thing about the tires, they are super quiet and smooth. There is a sizeable difference between the T1S and T1R as far as ride quality and noise, the T1R are superior in both categories. Also there is a nice protective lip on the tire to procted the edge of the rim

245/35/20 Fr and 275/30/20 Rr and no rubbing issues at all. I am going to lower it about 1/4" to 1/2" more all around so we will see then if there are any rubbing issues.

Neo,
Not really sure of the offsets. I would have to ask Derrick. I just ordered them flush to the fender

well assuming the wheels are aggressive enough, then using the 285 will have to be very careful. after putting the 285 on the rim comparing to 275, i think that's a good 3 to 4mm more outboard on the tires easy, so you need to make sure on the clerance

Thanks Tuddy,
iForged is a great wheel with great finishes, but to avoid any problems I would strongly recommend you to order them through a dealer like D2Autosport. It will help you avoid all the problems that I have been reading in some threads lately. I had absolutely none of those problems when dealing with Derrick
