One more member, I cant remember the name at the moment, has them, close to the same offsets as me, on a very nice USB ISF. I guess these are getting pretty popular.

I was lucky enough that the blanks were in stock so I only had about 6 weeks to wait.

Not a great pic, but a bit more of a side view.
Sean you should get the red center caps, i bet they would look fantastic on your car.

Yeah that comment made me think you already ordered them. I put the deposit down at the beginning of November. I was notified the beginning of this week they're done! Sent the remainder in as soon as I got the bill and was told I would receive my tracking info that day or the next. It's now day 4... I am in no rush as its winter but Forgestar sucks with meeting deadlines and following through with what they say.

Looks good! I seen those threads but also opted for the trouble free route as well. Going that wide would also defeat the purpose of weight loss which is why I chose these.

I guess not having the blanks in stock would be why I have been waiting for so long. I choose the black graphite color which should be a little darker then the OEM wheel color.

Great pics Sean, and thanks for sharing them! Finally got to see how your IS-F turned out

Sorry to hear about your long wait times, we offer 4-6 week turnaround time on Forgestars as long as all the parts are in stock! Quickest turnaround in the industry, which averages about 6-10

Lol, more like 3! It's all good. I figured order them during winter because if you search forgestars turn around time it seems to be more like 3 months. Very few get the 4-6 weeks which they state when inquiring. Someone is selling a set of 5 in the for sale section for a very good price.
