One other thing that struck me: the deep concave in all of the photos we've seen (including mine below) cannot be captured properly. These things are DEEP. In fact, I'm gonna eat some cereal out of these after I post this.
What kind of center cap did you get? This kind?

I was just wondering the same thing. I hope those exact center caps are in the box. I'll check when I get home.

I looked in the box I opened and didn't find center caps. So I called Forgestar, spoke to Peter, and he confirmed that they're all packed in one of the boxes. That said, they only have the carbon center caps that you posted.

That's unfortunate. While their new, black carbon fiber center cap is solid, you might've liked the old center cap better:

Ventus V12 evo K110 285/35-19"
I ordered these through Discount Tire Direct, also with the tirerack price-match. It came to $1,073.25 for the 4 tires, 4 TPMS sensors, and free damage replacement coverage for all 4 tires. The rears (285's) are very wide and should look great from behind the V! I'm very excited...my wallet, not so much.

I did the math and looked at pictures of 285s and was still surprised how wide the tires looked when they arrived. Glad I'm not the only one.

Yea, I obviously would like the wider ones but they just cost too much more for me to justify it. I'm already spending a lot of $ on this setup and didn't think it would be that much of a difference. Also, I worry about tire-rub when cornering or hitting dips in the road so I figured these were a little safer.

Yeah, I definitely will wait. I need to let the bank account cool off after doing my CS 8.8 and buying 1BAD's Maggie.
