Tires are Michelin PSS, no rubbing!
Nice! Still no rubbing after a couple months on those tires?

I just got my FT101's in Stealth Grey -- at least that's what they're called on their website, but the box says Matte Graphite. The color is pretty dark, but I think it'll match Mineral Grey pretty well.

Nice weight reduction indeed:
19x8.5 ET35 - 21.2 lbs
19x9.5 ET40 - 21.0 lbs

I think I'm going to go with 235/40/19 and 265/35/19. The PS4S seems to be out of stock on the 235/40/19, but Tire Rack said they should be back in stock at the end of the month. In the meantime, I'm going to get the wheels ceramic coated with CQuartz. I'll post pics here once they're mounted and installed.

Finally got my 305 forged FT101's on. I got in on the preorder of the +35 offset. These are square 19x8.5 ET35 in Stealth Grey with 255/35ZR19 MPS4S.

Stock 18's with the 225 runflats were ~53.2 lbs
New set up ~46.5 lbs - so about a 6.7 lbs weight saving per wheel plus a lot more rubber.

The only issue I had with these wheels is that the holes for the lugs have such a small radius that my stock flower style wheel lock key wouldn't fit in the hole. I have another set of wheel locks on order that look like the key sits more flush with the studs so they'll hopefully work.

Wheels look great guys! I assume they are apex quality? From what I heard apex, vmr and all those other cheaper rep companies basically manufacture in China and slap their logo on. Flow formed wheels for 18-19" should be under 1k realistically from what my sources tell me at TireRack, they have the FlowOne wheels with money back guarantee. Thinking about those too!!

Those tire sizes look great. It doesn't look like there is much stretch on either front or back

No, it's really better than I expected as far as stretch goes. Just need to lower it now and we're in business

You will also need to file edge so Beamer cap fits over it. I then used silicone to glue together. I only have a pic of final product.
Hmm... so my OEM center caps don't look like that. They look like these:

[IMG]https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/8jQAA...EP/s-l1600.jpg[/IMG]

Do you have the part number for the ones with the tabs?
My OEM caps were the same as yours, I picked up a set of P/N 36136783536 from EBAY for $25.

If you try to jam an F30 center cap it doesn't fully seat and sticks out about 1/8", doesn't look great IMO. Here's mine after mounting on car.
Nice looking wheels!

OEM center caps down fit very well but I as able to modify the 305 center cap accept an OEM cover for a perfect fit.
Any update on the quality after having these on for a while? Throwing the same setup (in Matte Graphite) on with summer tires after the winter.

They have been fine, I run them all year too so they've already seen some rough roads with no bending or any other issue. I'd recommend them.

I'd call 305 and ask if you can place the order for a later delivery. At 40% off the wheels are a ridiculous value!
