Here's a few more teaser pics. Look at the concave on these bad boys... Even the front have some serious concave

Wow Caroline those wheels look Sick! very nice ! nice size too. damn 10.5 ? Aggressive! they are gonna look sick on that black beauty.
They look just like the wheels in the Ferrari pics! Looking forward to the install pics.
I am going to give the car some new shoes :biggrin:. I am going with a Black Center with a Polish Lip. I'm going for the somewhat murder out look :smile:
How about something like this
These ended up looking like crap. Sell them to me and get something that actually looks good. I'll do that for you only because I care.
Hahaha, you funny Teej. I believe i finally found what i been looking for in a perfect set of wheels :smile:
Actually they're pretty light compare to my last set of ADV's. I'm not sure about if you would want to track your car with these wheels. That you would have to ask BC forged or Brandon/GT Theory yourself I don't track my car so i wouldn't know but as far as for style these will definitely work perfect. These or any of the BC forged wheels depending on which style you like :smile:
Well, My last set was 19x10.5 that's why i went with the same 19x10.5 in the rear. The only thing i change between my last set of wheels and this set is the offset. The offset is really what got me the cancave.
I don't need to ask Brandon. This is not a performance setup. Mainly because you have to deal with a tire that is not that great because of sizing, but also because of weight. A set of advan RSII's are 15 pounds up front, a full 6-7 pounds lighter per wheel once you consider the heavier tire required too. Even more of a difference exists in the rear. That's significant.
No, BC forged is not heavy and they look like a really well made wheel. But just like an 18/19 upgrade you sacrifice performance. They are terrific looking wheels so it's just a give and take. Can't wait to see them on. You would have had less concave with a 9.5 or 10" rear. These will look pretty bad ass.

I don't think 19x10.5 is that wide is it? I have seem quite some guys here on prime that went with 10.5 rear. The wider the better? From my experience you can even go with 11's or 11.5 in the rear if you want too, tho i wouldn't go that extreme but it can be done.
Wider is just more weight IMO... You aren't using anything wider than 275 if you want to keep it reasonable and not pull around an anchor.... The ultra wide widths are for more lip. It's all for style. I think with 10.5 you are pushing the envelope, at least with what I'd be comfortable with personally. You'll be fine, and it will look great. I wouldn't have gone wider.
As for performance, I would have to agree with you on that. I'm so used to having 19/20 and 18/19 wheels i don't think i can ever go smaller than 18/19 :frown:. Something gotta give. Anyways, check back and i will have picture up soon.
Wider is heavier. Hehe.

I agree with TeeJ, IMO Your wheels are ugly, you should ship them out of Texas ASAP and go with XXR wheels. :wink:

Being the wheel whore you are, I think we can bank on you getting a set lol.This is actually the exact setup I inquired about maybe 6-8 months ago, but ended up going with the Advan Model 5's instead.
Love it!! Can't wait to see them installed, I may have to rethink ordering a set
Absolutely :biggrin:
Pending pictures, maybe I'll order a set for the next new set of shoes. Maybe sell my personal set of Model 5's

I also was planning getting this same exact set up 6-8 months ago but end up going with ADV's instead. Look at me now, should of done this in the first place. Its all good i finally got what i wanted :biggrin:
You probably should make 5-10 more new threads about new wheels you'll never end up purchasing, how great your oem wheels are, or that your 20k suspension squeaks, or that you purchased new door components, wait wait... that you're going to just sell your car :biggrin:
