Good to hear, thanks for the update. I really like them but it will probably be a while before I am in the market for new wheels (read, have the funds for them) and it's nice to know that they aren't stopping total production of them.

Thank you very much, still want these wheels even though I already have the Team Dynamics. Haven't seen flat black on black though. Or Titanium on Black.

Car looks very sweet. I also like that Miata in the background, and the BMW in the reflection.

What did you do to get that stance on the car? Do you have ride/rubbing issues? Love the look though!

Thanks guys. BMW is the wifes, Miata is the kids. Ksport coilovers on the firmest setting ride is stiff but coming from an M3 it's nothing...firmer the better! I rolled and pulled slightly in the rear, front just rolled. 245/40/19 F 275/35/19 R. Going to stretch a little more once these wear out and lower about 3/4 in the front and rear. So yea no rubbing just need center caps!

@Race Bannon, I am not 'mechanically inclined' so are there shops who could do that kind of work for me? What types of shops would you recommend?

It's not hard just rent a Eastwood roller, heat gun few beers and take your time. Not sure where you are but most body shops can roll them just get feed back first nothing like repairing dimples...

Awesome thanks. I live in Salt Lake City, not a huge place for custom shops...I would love to find one who can do the coilovers and fenders all in one...need to make some calls.

If I were wanting to avoid running staggered sizes, does anyone know if the front wheels would fit properly on the back? So basically I would be stepping up from 18x8.5 to 19x9 on all 4 corners. Would Forgestar even sell a set of wheels in that configuration?

Forgestar won't make one-off sets of wheels, and they won't split apart sets of wheels (I've already been down that path with Peter).

I would assume its due to the low volume they move in regards to our 6 lug setup.

They aren't staggered diameter, just width. Fronts are 19x9, rears are 19x10.

Hell if someone could post how the fronts would look with the 10s on I might be willing to go in with you and have the 10s on all four corners. Im sure it would need some camber to make it not stick out to bad but I wonder how much.
