Yes, it was a long wait. My Forgestars took about 10 months or so. That's with a 2-3 week delay because of a machining issue (had to be re-powdercoated).

10 months?

Car looks great! The gunmetal doesn't vary much at all, it simply depends on the lighting when a photo is taken. For example, these two cars are the same cars on the same wheels (both gunmetal) in different lighting conditions.

That would be a long wait.

No, I meant 10 weeks.

I like it. 18's look great on the 5th gen Camaro. Sometimes I wish GM gave the SS a 18" option. How close is the clearance with the Brembo's?

Just need to make sure to cut off the top of the hockey puck brake pads or replace them with aftermarket.

I have an early build Camaro SS and my car did not come with the hockey puck brake pads so I didn't have to do anything to fit the wheels.

I have an '11 so it had the rollers. I just replaced them with Hawk pads. Better pads and less dust on my new wheels.

Wheels look awesome!!! The color contrast looks great and the deep concave looks aggressive. Nice choice!!!

Offsets are perfect as well...
