Goodies Arrived

9.5 weeks after ordering, I finally got my wheels. 19x9 and 19x10 Forgestars

Initial thoughts - Quality and finish seem great but it's very strange that I don't even know the offsets. I called Forgestar during the production and they said that the fronts would be +35 and the rear would be +45. Mod Bargain's (vendor I purchased through) emailed me while the wheels were on the UPS truck and said that they called Forgestar and the wheels are actually +38 front and +47 rear. I was expecting that the offsets would be recorded somewhere in the box or on the wheel but that's not the case - Strange

Second, I ordered gloss gunmetal and I'm not really happy w/ the color. I was definitely expecting a darker 'gunmetal' type of color rather than a gloss grey.

The last oddity here is that the 19x9 and 19x10 wheels seem to weigh the same. The 19x9 actually FEELS heavier but the scale doesn't lie I guess. There is still some packaging on the wheel so they are actually 0.3-0.5 lbs lighter than what the scale says. Once I have the tires mounted, I'll weigh them again and compare to the stocks....
