Default Re: Ordered Forgestars

A few preliminary pictures. I took the 3 I got out of the box, installed the valve stems, washed and waxed them. The finish is not perfect just really good. It appears they need to clean them better before coating them. The machined surface looks fabulous. I tried weighing them but they don't really fit on my scale. But the fronts (18x9) are somewhere between 20 and 21 lbs. The rears had a shipping weight of 23 lbs. but to tell the truth they all seem to be lighter than that to me. Tomorrow I'll mount tires on the rims I have and hope the last box arrives with the lugs. I really, really want to get them on the car asap.
