Default 18x11.5 iForged w/ 335/30 Michelin Pilots

I FINALLY got the wheels and they are on the car but it is now raining so I can't get any good pics so I took a few with the car in the garage.
The wheels turned out great except for the fact that for some reason they built my front wheels with a 1" lip. WTF is up with that!?!
I did get to drive the car lasts night and the tires rub a little on the inner fender wells whe cornering hard so I will hae to do the BFH mod.
Just click the link in my sig and go to new misc. pics.
I aso installed Hooker haders w/ offroad pipe, MSD wires and NGK plugs anddd te wire relocation mod during te LONG wai for my wheels.

Looks sweet! Sucks they built the fronts with such a small lip, especially since the rears have a huge one. what is the backspacing on the rear wheels? better stock up on those michelins, heard some rumors they wont be $150 for much longer

Do the rears stick out past the fender a little? It looks close, but I'm sure it's the angle, right? Nice wheels.

did you get that price of $800 each from IForged's website?
if so, that is iforged's "suggested retail"

I got a special deal on the set on a partial sponsorship directly from iForged. There are a few sponsors at corvetteforum.com that sell them and Trilogy says to try the wheel boutique forood prices. As with anything, I am sure it would help to shop around.
Andy, it was good meeting you too. Your car was awsome, extremely well detailed and I loved the engine bay, I REALLY need to get started on mine.
