Looks tacky. So do those huge oversized lugs.

you should upgrade the lugs to keep thieves from leaving you on blocks.. I have these Spline drives which are low profile and use a keyed adapter

only thing that sucks is the adapter is not impact friendly. So is there a updated center cap design for the rear?

Thanks!! I can always rely on honesty from you Fuzzy. : )

I have lugs and locks on order. I just put the stock ones on since they haven't come in yet.

I'm not liking the centercaps either. At a glance not bad but I look at my car everyday and will know its "off".

Just trim the axle bolts, or have a shop do it for you.

Wow, your CTS-V looks amazing! Can you tell us the size of the tires you are running front and rear. I have my F14 on order and should be receiving them any day now.
Thanks,

Rears: 285-35-19

Almost identical diameter to stock

I'm stock height / suspension and no rubbing issues.

Azn, are you liking the quietness of those tires compared to your old ones? I came from BFG g-force KDW 2s, and the difference was immense.

Everyone with Forgestars: I am almost done with making the stock center caps to fit flush. They will go on exactly like the Forgestar center caps. Hopefully....


I will keep you all posted.

Has Forgestar got their **** together and have these available to ship out? I'd like to pick up a set, but I'm not going to play the waiting game with them. Once I pay, I want them shipped out within a timely manner, not 6 months later.

The wait was for the design and safety certification process. They won't take months to deliver now.

No idea. Ask when you order.

Thoughts? I'm still working on the factory Cadillac caps. Should be done by next week.
