Default Well the wait begins!

I just got through placing my order for a set of IForged Evolutions.

I got 18x9 & 18x10 F/R in the high polish finish. Thanks to Trilogy for posting those pics which was really the nail in the coffin to help me decide between those & the SSR GT3's!

I hope to have pics for you all within the next 3 weeks. Anyone else ordering?

Here's a pic of the evolution:

Here's what Pendragon photoshopped onto my car:

Damn Diesel I am excited for you, those are going to be badass. Make sure to post lots of pics when you get them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I am still thinking about the Aeros in 19/20 for my car.

Steve The lead time is 3-4 weeks and the owner of the shop I placed the order at is a personal friend of one of the owners so my hopes are somewhat high.....And yeah that ventercap logo looks very similar. BTW, I took your advice on painting the spoiler to match the hood. When i get the wheels I'll post pics of everything!

Chris Thanks man, I was thinking of getting the 19's but I think they'd look too big on an Fbod....maybe when I get a 6th gen Z06 or something <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Trilogy I hope I have better luck than you as I am going for a more reasonable size, but am very aware of the fact that I may get stuck in the same boat.....I've got my fingers crossed for the both of us brother!

Congrats Diesel amd welcome to the family (as those Fikse guys always say!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I ordered my 18" Full polished (front and rear barrels) Aero's the first of Feb and still don't have them yet. Should be soon though, good thing my car is still in storage and I have been working on my engine dress-up project since they are not here yet.

Thanks Al & SS LS1 for the kind words.....I'm am really looking forward to getting them. I talked to Vincent Wong of iForged today and he said the wait is about 4-6 weeks for delivery. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
