Glad to hear the will make it right man...mine were packaged really well, and we have some good UPS delivery folks in our small town so mine came out okay. Good luck, I know the waiting must be killing you!

I sent the damaged wheel back to Forgestar, it will either get replaced or repaired. Either way, it will be weeks until I get it back. I'm not one for patience, so I had the other three tires mounted and balanced on the wheels, and threw on one of my C5 wagon wheels that I've had as spares for years. I used the time with the wheels off to tint the tails and front turn signals, as well as whistler the headlights with paint to match the wheels. I don't plan on driving it with this Forgestar/C5 setup, but at least I could get it on the ground and be able to stare at it in the garage for hours on end!

Thanks for all the kind comments. It's definitely nerve racking buying wheels that you've never seen on your car, but it worked out as good or better than I had hoped!
Eibach Sportlines, 285/30/19 front and 305/30/19 rear. Clearance is good, except they just barely touch the inside of the fender well at full turn (no big deal, imo).
Yes! I want to run CTS-V brakes up front, and they will clear by plenty without a spacer with these wheels. Probably not until next year though.
