Getting new wheel - Forgstar F05
I was lookign and find the Forgestar F05 19" staggered on sale and they only weight 21lbs F & 22.6lbs R

update: 8/2/11
Just got them installed and upload the pics, shipment comes well packed!!. The actual weight was 24.6lbs Front & 23.1 lbs Rear. I was surprise the wider rear actually weight less. I believe its because they machined it from +26mm to +35mm. 9mm X 8 inch was cut thus it reduce the overall weight. The front comes standard in +32mm....anyway, I'm ok with it.
Machine finish with 19x8.5 +32offset & 19x10 +35 offset ................with those offset it's like pushing out 19mm in the front & 35mm on the rear, rubber was Continental ExtremeContact DW 225/40R19 F & 265/35R19 R. I do feel a little firmer ride with thinner tire. Next mod will be coilover, but it will be after I buy a AWD Sedan frist. Now can someone tell me if the Megan EZ with 2" drop will make the ride more firm or smoother or the same as OEM.
Times for the pics!!!!

Man, they're exxxpeeensive. I guess that's the name of the game if you go with forged. Not really my style of rims but no one is going to have the same opinion. Out of those two, I pick the gun metal to go better with your color car.
They weigh the same and look similar to the Enkei RP03, which are 75% cheaper. Spend the money saved on a body kit
- NEVERMIND haha

I would have gotten a more agressive offsets. You still won't be flush to the fenders. This is 20x10 +20. I think a +10 with some camber would be a nice fitment.

yours look pretty good, but does it rub?
I prefer a less aggressive setup to avoid rubbing when hitting a bump......we have too many unavoidable bump & pot hole in NYC
