Here's the new wheels...like it more. A little lighter and more street able. Have another custom forged set coming, but that'll be in a few months to be done I reckon...

Looking good! How much do they weigh? I weighed my BC Forged and they were a little over 20lbs each for 20x11 rears. I was shocked how much lighter they were than some of my other wheels.

Thanks! And wow, your wheels are light!

These are just cheap tsws 19x9.5 / 19x10.5 21/23lbs on the base stock tires (255/285l). I have forged ones on the way, but I'm going for more of a lipped look so maybe around the same weight in 20s.

Here are a few old ones. I did PPF the entire car with Suntek Reaction mainly because it’s supposed to have a hydrophobic/ceramic coating built in but I’m not impressed. The regular Suntek Ultra to me is just as good and better when you put a coat of ceramic on top.

On 20 inch wheels?

That must look so "meaty" from the rear! 👍👍

Looks great! I wanted white originally, but had to settle for for the grey. Any issues with yours this far?
