I agree. I bought a set of BC Forged HB29 from PY. 1 month turn around and pricing was great. I'm used to getting Volks and the BC Forged are equal in quality. I have 2 sets of TE37s and the BC Forged for my F. Every once in awhile I like to change it up.

Yep, quality is very top notch. I actually trust them over many "American made" wheel companies that has no certification for the road what so ever.

No chance, it looks pretty good as is. I need to be able to park at work.

how come not 245/35 and 275/30? wouldnt that be closer to stock?

Saying 275 30 close to stock is very similar to saying 275 35 closer to stock. 275 30 is .4" smaller than, stock which is .2" in sidewall thickness. Where 275 35 is .6" taller than stock, which is .3" thicker in thickness. As you can see, I would rather go .3" thicker than stock vs .2" thinner than stock. The different ratio + or _ vs stock is very close. I would rather gain the extra thickness for giant potholes around SoCal/LA area. Lol I don't ever want to even consider thinner than stock, stock is already thin enough. Once again, that's just my own opinion

Lol you don't. I gave him a very sweet package deal. Cheaper than other less than ideal TE37 setups for our F. You know how rare these 10.5 +35 TE are!

Thank you! I think I maybe able to say that I'm done soon. One more awesome mod for the interior is coming by the end of the month

Nice looking wheels man ! Your F front and rear looks balanced, not too low in the front.
I've also switched tires from 255/35, 295/30 bridgestone re050a to 255/35, 275/35 Hankook v12. Bridgestone is heavy and stiff as hell . I really do not like Hankook at all, it has a soft sidewall.
How do you like Michelin PSS ? Maybe i will switch to Mi PSS for next time.
