Not to make light of the fact that Forgestars look sweet. As you know, the buying experience was poor. I don't know what went wrong but something went way wrong. I was billed half when I placed the order and the other half and shipping on the 11th of february. The rims shipped on the 5th of march. WTF!! They told me they were awaiting final payment in march! I don't have the whole story and but it really doesn't matter. I'm happy with the wheels and fitment.

I'm sorry you had such a poor vendor experience with them. I wish I would have known before you ordered them, I would have suggested a vendor that has a really good rep on MBWorld.org with selling and delivering the Forgestars. The only reason I would have recommended him, is because he is who I'm in the processing of ordering mine through.
Can't wait to hear/see the new track times. I think you'll be quicker especially since you took 5lbs of unsprung weight out per corner...with the new wheel/tire combo.
