Thumbs up New Wheels!

All right ladies & Gentlemen!!!! Have confirmation on my tax return coming by the month. I'll be home in May and should be perfect timing for the wheels delivery (crossing fingers for luck.)

So here is what I'm going with...



Forgeline MD3P: Gunmetal Center, Polished Outer Rim/Lip & Gloss Black Inner Rim: 19x9.0 +40 & 19x10.5 +45
Originally Posted by Forgeline
The MD3P is the ultimate in classic mesh 3-piece design. Each MD3P wheel is built with forged 6061-T6 aluminum centers, 6061-T6 spun rim halves, and stainless steel aircraft-grade ARP fasteners. It features a powder coated or chrome finish with a polished, powder coated, or chromed lip. The MD3P is available in sizes ranging from 18x7.5 to 20x16. And since each wheel is built to order, Forgeline can offer special features like custom offsets and a choice of center finishes.
Have to give BIG THANKS to everyone in this thread for all the help. Also to Tony @ Deviate Motoring for giving me a lot of good information on Forgeline Wheels. We were going back and forth with HREs or Forgeline.

I've spent countless hours viewing different set-ups and playing with the wheel/tire calculator. I think this will be perfect for the everyday driver without any concerns.

Great looking wheels those are going to look great w/ your BlueSlate G, very classy yet sporty design, probably pretty lightweight too. No problem clearing the Akebonos eh??
So are you now going to join us fatties? You know those 295s are screaming to be mounted on those new rims, don't fight the force

your right... i may not fit in the fat tire section but def in the aggressive offset

for a sedan, they only way to fit these wheels would be with a stretch tire or heavily modified body work. i didnt want to go that route just because i just my 2013 g37 sedan a month ago

Dude... It's all good. And as far as you're "new car" comment... Anything you're worried about is out the door with that suspension.
