Thumbs up 19/20 iForged Daytona's are on! Pics inside!

Well, got them mounted and balanced at Nu Image Motorsports today. Stacy did an excellent job once again. The wheels are a new design from iForged called the Daytona and it is part of their new Xtreme Lip Technology line. This allows for a 2.5" lip in front that will still clear big brakes, and a 4" lip out back which looks FLAT OUT KILLER!

Due to a national back order on the Continental CS2's, I was forced to go with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's which rate superior in every measurable category, but are only available in 265 & 295 widths as opposed to the 275 & 305 widths from Continental. I was concerned with the tires "stretching" over the wheels, but after seeing the mounted product, I am 100% happy with the forced decision....it was a blessing in disguise.

Here are some pics after I slapped them back onto the car:

They look really really good. I think the tires might be stretched a touch too much for me though.

Thanks brutha's!

The size of the sidewall may look stretched because it's so short, but they are actually almost perfectly lined with the lip.

Definitely looks hot, but for some reason, the lips don't look as big as the measurements you gave. Must be something to do with the center being powdercoated...

it looks like the reflection of the rivets on the lip make the lip itself look smaller.
