Yes,Forgeline is a stand up Company for sure.

They took a chance to make you happy and backed it up when it didn't work out.

I love mine,the quality is top notch and they will probably out last the car.

My shop was amazed at how little weight they took to balance out...almost none on 3 of them,considering they are 20's that is something you just don't see on lesser wheels.

They included the internal mount brackets and gave me new TPMS sensors for free. Everything is internal now. Just took it out and all i can say is

I have the numbers some where. With the 305 rubber the wheel and tire package is 14 pounds lighter than the OE setup if my memory is correct.

I dont have the exact numbers but i remember the front OE wheels and tires were about 60.8 lbs and the rears were about 63 lbs. \

The forgelines and 305 Bridgestones were fronts about 58 lbs and rears about 59 lbs. I think i figures out the total rotating mass savings was about 15 or so lbs. The real eye opener in performance is the new 3.77 effective gear ratio. The car was stupid before with the OE setup, now it is just really stupid

Stupid is good.

Pete, can't thank you enough for all you expertise with my car. The Pedders Camaro wheel/tire setup is truly amazing. Along the lines of the stock suspension compared to the Pedders Justice package, what an upgrade. I hit 136 the other day and thought i was at about 70 or so. Data loggers and all that!

The 19" setup really looks good in the giant wheel wells!

Fast doesn't feel fast setup like your Camaro. You find your self doing stupid things in the 5th Gen, but certainly not as stupid as some one else I know that is wet behind the ears and waffling and another that may come up short
