My New Forgestar F14s & Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires!

Got my new wheels & tires on! I want to thank Tony (NineBall - www.dv8motoring.com) and Shoreline Motoring (www.shorelinemotoring.com).

I loved my TSW Doningtons, but they were just not the right wheel for what I wanted to do. I am going to start doing autocross and I do not want to have two sets of wheels, so I met in the middle and decided on 20s. These are much lighter than my 22s. The finish on the wheels are not as dark as I was expecting, but I still love them. Really nice quality and finish! My car looks like its ready for the track now!

Wheel Specs:
20x9.5 & 20x10.5 - deep concave
Black Graphite with an IOM pinstripe

Tire Specs:
275/35/20 & 295/35/20
Thanks Whiteside for the tire help/recommendation! Currently #1 on TireRacks survey list: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...ay.jsp?type=MP

Next on my list is my RideSkinz bumper and I am also having the front and back blackouts done in a charcoal/gunmetal grey to match the wheels a little better.

Now onto the pics!

very nice! I like the lower profile tires. I was thinking about doing the same set up and dropping it like 2". What drop do you have?

1"

I would like it like a half inch lower but I already scrape on my driveway. If I get another car as a DD, I might get some lower springs for this one.

Looks great! May I ask what widths you went with? I have a set of deep concave on all 4 corners ordered in 20x9.5 f 20x10.5 rear.

EDIT: Not sure how I missed the info in the OP. That's what I get for browsing the forums on Tapatalk!
