Have you tried to contact Forgestar directly? Maybe they can give you some info regarding your order. I hate dealing with 3rd parties..

nice wheels, but they look about the same size as the stock 18. I think the design make them look smaller

didn't know the OEM wheel weight, but the F05 are heavier then advertise. Front: 24.6 lbs vs 21~22lbs the rear is fine with 23.1lbs

I'm not sure its the tire or wheel(less weight), but the car does feel better response during acceleration. The ride was firmer, more road feedback, but also more stable at higher speed.

Yes, lip design always look smaller, but I think 20" is too big without kit and I do need thicker tire cushion for NYC road.

The Forgestar's look great! Glad they finally arrived. A drop would def. make it look better but the roads in NY may not be forgiving.

Thx, definitely consider dropping it with coilovers. Someone with the megan EZ please tell me if it will be firmer with 2" drop and if it will stay the same as OEM after adjust to factory height.

I updated the first post with few more pics,

Base on my observation, dropping 2" will might cause rubbing in the rear when hitting bump. The front looks clear for the drop!!

Looking at on your offset and tire sizes, I don't think you would rub with 2 inch drop. I'm sure others can verify this.
