oh trust me, i know the entire organization in its entirety. especially when i first got my wheels from jordan in feb for a ridiculous cost, but had to go through the pain of several setbacks. lucky for me i have a finished product

i saw the concave design not too long ago. it's by far the badest wheel i think i've ever seen.

How is your car lowered? That thing sits perfectly for me.

Thanks for the compliment. Here is my setup:

Ground Control Coilover Kit with Eibach Sport Springs

(600 lb - front & 650 lb - rear)

Note: The new tires (Toyo R888) have such a small sidewall that it does make it look like the car sits a bit higher than it actually does. The overall diameter of the 19" wheel with the new tires is about 4.5% smaller than stock which is going to make me have to lower the car a bit more, probably 1/2" in front and 3/4" in rear.

iCame.

the shoot was definitely worth the work in the ridiculous 100 degree humid *** weather, that's for sure. Will takes outstanding shots and going above and beyond when it comes to details on getting the right pose, with the precise lighting despite how long it takes to get it right.

amazed tony is amazed....

Those calipers need some cleaning. Nice wheel though!

The 20" package with the lowered stance just about looks perfect to me. I've got KW Variant 3 coilovers on mine and need to do rims next. I'm thinking either a set of 19s or 20s. I've got a Maggie on there so I still want to keep the performance aspects of the car at the top of the list. What do you guys that have run both 19s and 20s think about the performance trade-offs going with the larger diameter/heavier 20s?

TORQUE.... normally solves that problem, lol.

although the rubberband tires are most likely to spin you well in to your gears.

I'm okay with the horsepower and torque piece of the puzzle. Suspension is done too for now. Rims are next...anybody have a set of HRE, Forgeline, IForged, etc. that they're selling?

give them a call and ask for Scott, although i hope you'd go with a different wheel, or finish at least. even though having an exact replica of my car doesn't sound so bad actually.
