Forged Specialties 3 pieces forged concave wheels. Originally ordered these for my MK4 Supra. Found out that they are made in China after I got them but I don't really mind that. Most forged wheels in the US are from China or that the blank forged barrel and faces are from China. They just get CNC here in the US.

Trust me, the wait for custom spec BC coilovers is killing me! Just my luck to find a nice set of JIC offered for sale for 1300 bucks 2 days after I placed my order for the BC

Yeah the offsets are very aggressive. Originally, they are 19x10 +30 and 19x11.5 +30. The rears were obviously never going to fit the IS-F. Luckily we found that since the rear were also made for big brakes, they have left plenty of back pads on the faces that can be shaved off. My wheel guy managed to get about 1/2" or 12mm CNCed out from the rear back space.

So long story short, they are now 19x10 +30 and 19x11.5 +42. The fronts can be shave off at least 15mm but we are holding off on that for now. We will make sure front and rear have the same amount of flush. They will need to go back on the car before we make a decision on shaving the back pads of the front.

Looking forward to seeing these mounted. It's a nice look with the concavity. With those offsets listed, they should fit fine, but might need some fender work (hopefully not).

Thanks, I don't mind doing a mild mod on my fenders.Just none of those crazy pulled stuff. My wheel guy is very good at making thing works. I hope to run at least 245/285 tires combo. Going to push to see if I can fit 255/295

That's what I'm going with as well in terms of tire size, but I've been told by others that 295 in the rear will be hard to pull off without a fender roll. It also depends on tire brand and the wall if I'm not mistaken. Many have said that it was hard to pull off 295s in the rear with the Michelin PSS.

Wow I really like those, especially the deep concave in the rear. And I think you will like 19x10 +30 up front, that sits perfect and you could still have a 255/35. I have 19x10 +25 up front currently.
