Fantastic! Ordered mine on Friday. Gunmetal on AW, dropped on Eibach/Koni FSD.

These will be the longest 8-10 days of my life.

This was mostly likely due to the fact that ForgeStar pushed back the production time of the F14 themselves. The F05's were already available and in production, the F14's came sometime later.

It is an 8-10 production time for the wheels, since they are being customed of course

I'm really keen on these wheels in either matte black or piano finish.

I'm holding out for someone else to run this setup to confirm it doesn't rub:

Wheel Specs:
19x8.5 +46
19x9.0 +50

Tires:
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
235/35/19
265/30/19

Can't wait to see more pics on AW!

I am getting that same setup installed next tuesday... and since I am an impatient S.O.B. I made a VERY rough little photoshop of my car with the Matte Blacks! Complete with Porsche brakes!

edit: I made the rear wheel an 18"!!!!! Hey I said it was a quick p-shop!

Haha, no thats just because I took the fitment off of a 911 that had these on... this was a real quick p-shop job... nothing to be proud about, plus look at the rear wheel, its about 2" smaller than the front!!!

Ya know, on the e90 and S5, these wheels look fantastic...flush to the fenders and has a more pronounced concave look to it. If that could be pulled off on a 1er with a nice drop, then you have another customer for these wheels.

*EDIT*
after re-reading this entire thread...i'll hold out for pics of ssabripo's car with these wheels on.

So what is it production time or turn-around time? I interpret turn around time as from order to delivery. Ordered may 1, tic toc.

I am a cynical enough consumer to realize that 8-10 days delivery is fantasy, and to that end I am not jumping up and down screaming for my wheels. But really, why claim 8-10 day turn around when it's very clearly not realistic.

Silverbullit waited 5 1/2 weeks for his early production models, I'll start calling at the end of the third week.

Thank you for the kind words, sir, but ForgeStar is actually on top of things for sure!

You ordered on the 1st of May which was a Friday so that does not count. From business days on the first and second week after that which is today, it has been exactly 10 business days. You my now jump up and down screaming because your wheels are ready, they are being inspected and boxed as I write this, they will be shipped out today . Once again I thank you for your business, sir.
