Nice, I have a set of these sitting in my living room waiting for the owner to get home and install them. Did you pay extra for the center caps?

Not many mesh style rims I like, but these look REALLY GOOD! The finish is perfect for your Ti Gray also. Good job, I want to see better pics though!

Sorry bro it's in my nature...I'm a **** tease! LOL! Working on the pics right now...the ones posted are actually smaller due to rx8club restrictions. I can post a few new ones I took recently plus the link to the original pics for your viewing pleasure.

Forgestar **** in the works...

Nope...Everything was included in the price minus the tires since I got those from tirerack.

I don't know how that happened but the color of the rims are sooooo close to the color of the car that I was shocked. I was under the impression, when I purchsed the rims only going by a picture on this website, that the color would be darker then my paint. I have to say it was a pleasant surprise to see it matches so perfectly with the car.

I so happy...snif snif

Forgestar 18 x 10 + 42 mm

Tire: 265/35/18 - Continental Extreme Contact DW

Mod: (NOT NECESSARY) Slight fender roll in the rear since I usually have the car packed with people and I was afraid it might rub with all that extra weight.

Camera: iPhone 4

Suspension: Tein H-tech (or S-Tech...the more aggressive one) with Koni Yellow adjustable shocks

How about a pic directly from the rear to show how beefy these are and pics of your rolled fender. Amazing how well 18x10 fit with only a slight roll in the rear. Looks great.

Looks like you need to preload the front. Try loosening the A-arm bolts, then drive back 10 ft and drive forward. Tighten Bolts.

I need to stress I only did the fender roll as a precaution. Everyone I spoke to about this said it was not necessary but I have friends that weigh 225 lbs + and sometimes they sit in the back (rarely) so I wanted to make sure if I was bottomed out that it would not rub. So far even my installer said you should be good but just in case roll um so I did.

I will work on the pic though...

you can't get these wheels at any wheel store, there is a vendor here that sells them--these are costume orders--look it up there is a thread about it.

Loving the color choice, welcome to the F14 club! mine are matte black e.t. 38+ same wheel size as you. I still need to take some good pictures argh
