You shouldn't have a problem offloading those wheels at all.

I bet...

Only reason why I'm kicking around the idea is because I want a narrowed 9" and the offset will be off.

Forgestar makes a great wheel at a great price. They look good, are built very well, and are light (for a street wheel). The only problem being they take forever to get made (mine did) and are lax on communication.

Tony is great, FS isn't. But they are good wheels at a good price.

Looks great. What size tires are you using front and rear?

i weighed the old set of Z06 wheels/tires (18x9.5 with Nitto NT05 275/35/18) and they came out to 54.4 pounds each. So overall, i lost about 7 pounds on each corner. thats 28 pounds in rotating mass i reduced!! and the Forgestars look awesome. I will post pics once I get the car back on the road.

Those look great; perfect choice on the wheel color. Black on black is way too played out in my opinion. That looks money.

I am also thinking of going 18x9.5 all around maybe even 18x10 w/ 285/35ZR18 tires. Is the concavity the same on your front and rear wheels?

Thanks for the compliments guys... If anyone is interested in a set, I've decided to sell my car so mine are up for sale.
