Looking good morris. Lots of iForged owners now. I'm not sure if that is good or bad.

Looks great! The high polish goes well with the cinnabar.

How does the ride feel now with your 19's(being SC'ed and all)?
Oh yeah, my sentiments before still stand, but, I think if you chromed your grill and put some chrome emblems on the back instead of the gold, it would REALLY set off your ride.

Thanks again everyone,

Now that I have my wheels I think we should make it tougher to get them 6 weeks isnt long enough

Funny thing is that I didnt have to readjust the drop whenn I put them on, those are the same settings we used with the stock 17" wheels, it may be a slightly tigter gap but not much. I was thnking that I would have to readjust them.

The gold emblems was an option I specifically rquested when I bought the car, I thought it looked elegant on the car then and I still think it is elegant now. But if anything I may debadge the car, the only reason I havent is that I am afraid of what we'll find under them, ie adhesive, paint mismatch etc.

Oh and for the grill I am actually thinking of a painted grill at some point. Not sure which but maybe a TRD or RMM type.

Yup I was thinking the same thing ut ya know what, it just goes to show you that D is holding it down and getting the job done and also there are lots of different wheels so not everyone has the same ones.

As for the wheels, Morris the car looks great.

It may just seem that way becuase we all got them around the same time. If I rememvber correctly we barely got 10 orders for the GB. Add to that that we are all over the country I think we are okay. Heck I have only seen three set of Iforged on the road since I got intoo this modding buisness and that was at a car show

i think that might be coz' the 19s haev a bit bigger overall diameter than the 17s. i forgot, i did the match before and forgot which one is bigger

plus now the 19s, everything stand more "circle" (the old 17s, coz' of the fat tires, it will not be this "round"), i guess tha makes the gap tighter too

Just to refresh you memory, the 19s with the 245/35 is almost 1/2" bigger in OD than the OEM 17s at 235/45.
