If the price for a set is reasonable I might be in for stock sizes.

I would be interested in a silver staggered setup. Are we looking at 18x8 front, 18x9 rear? I believe stock 264 wheels are 18x7.5 and 18x8.5 but I'd like to go a bit wider with proper offsets.

I am leaning towards a wider setup as suggested; like the setup in the current csl group buy, which I am hoping will not fall through.

I would be in for offsets that fit in the wheel wells. 8" in front and maybe 9" in rear. Front offset of 46 or 47 and the rear maybe 52 rear.

I might be interested, a whole hell of a lot cheaper than the other options I'm considering. Need to buy coilovers first... keep this thread updated.

I might be down depending on price, sizes, colors, etc. I'd really like to see the wheel use the same center bore as our cars though.

Hey guys! I just signed onto this forum today as a sponsor!

Unfortunately the group buy for the first batch of 18s has ended, but they will be a production item so I can still take orders for the second batch which I estimate to be ready to ship towards the second or third week in July.

If we all agree on 18x8 and 18x9 w. perfect offsets and under $1300...

I'd be down today to make a deposit.

Interesting. Another vendor here contacted me about pre-ordering 18" Forgestars. The offsets do look good, but the wheels were 8.5 and 9 (maybe 9.5). The timeline was similar too. If the timelines hold, I think I'm in. I don't feel like waiting for September or later for the 18" CSLs.

Please post more details and even a new thread. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to organize a group buy. Also post the link to the other closed group buy your referencing.

There is a for sale thread for the 19" Forgestars I started in the vendor classifieds. The 18" group buy was not posted on here by me. It was posted on a few other forums, one of which is linked in the first post of this thread.

Once I get more details on the second batch of 18s that will be made then I will post up a thread on those.

IMO 18" looks best on the 1 series. 19s are ok, but they are pushing it in terms of size.
