Most bad ***. If I had the money I'd get those or the HRE 547R's. Instead i'm getting some knock offs that look like that. Chrome too.

I was going to run BFG KDWs front 275/35/18 and rear 315/30/18, but the 315/30/18 size wont be available until sometime in august.

So, depending on when the paint work is completed and I have the car back, I will either get the KDWs or get michelin PS2's. I've also thought about nitto DR's in the rear, but they only come in 335/30/18 and I really wanted more of a street tire for this car.

As far as the fenders needing rolled.... I'll just wait and see. Alot of guys I know are running TT2's 11 inches in the rear with the same offset as my wheels without rolling the fenders, so hopefully I wont have to do that.

Awesome man! Do you have a narrowed rear to run those sizes of lips? If not, that is badass! Cant wait to see them on the car!

SuperZ: Mine are 3 piece billet aluminum that has been chrome plated. He is talking about ruff racing's 278 i think. They look similiar but they weren't available in the sizes & offsets I really wanted.

Superman09: Nope, stock rearend length. They should fit exactly like TT2's in 17x11.

Nice man! I'm doing these in 2 piece, 19s all the way around with a cut rearend.

I love my 18" iForged. My living room had never looked so pimp when these came in! Mine took about 6 weeks at the beginning of the summer 2 years ago.

13 weeks is a long wait, but worth it. They must be getting run down with orders, especially this time of year.

Oh, and I requested the chrome center caps instead of the polished ones... I think the center caps look great with the matching finish.
Those will indeed look very nice. If you don't mind me asking, how much did those set you back?
