I ordered these today...

randomquickness · 10-14-2008, 05:12 PM

I ordered the DPE R-16's in 19x8 and 19x10. My finish and center caps will be the same as the 2nd pic. Let me know what you all think! I am way stoked about it!

arok · 10-14-2008, 05:21 PM

congrats, I wish I could afford some nice forged wheels.

can't wait for the pics!

randomquickness · 10-14-2008, 05:29 PM

it's about to be the longest 4-6 weeks ever! that is the average build time!

Bahraini135 · 10-14-2008, 05:44 PM

wow... nice choice

19x10!! now that's something I'm dying to see :P

randomquickness · 10-14-2008, 05:57 PM

they don't give out offsets on custom wheels but they assured me a flawless fitment! Can't wait to see it myself with a 265 in the back!

Blacky · 10-14-2008, 05:57 PM

Oh they are nice
Can't wait to see on the car.

brokemywallet · 10-14-2008, 06:35 PM

did you order the 2 or 3 piece? usually the 2 piece they don't have 1/2 sizes.....(19 x 8.5, 19 x 9.5, 19 x 10.5 for example).

just curious......

randomquickness · 10-14-2008, 06:53 PM

The R series are 2 piece. I prob wouldn't have gone as wide as 10" but they assure a perfect fitment.

jtsherri · 10-14-2008, 07:02 PM

Are you sure you can't go wider than 265 in the back with a 10" wheel or do you have to worry about rubbing (or are you going for the stretched look)...?

Either way, very good choices - I'm anxious to see how they look!

randomquickness · 10-14-2008, 07:05 PM

tire rack still only recommends a 255 on a 10" so I don't wanna go too wide. I am also trying to avoid rolling my fenders if possible. We'll have a better idea in 4-6 weeks!

jtsherri · 10-14-2008, 07:11 PM

Yeah, I'd definitely wait and decide once you can test fit... I know it depends a lot on what offset they go with and distance from the fenders & suspension (combined with tire profile), but a lot of guys generally run a 255 on a 8"-8.5" wheel so there's room for a lot more rubber there.

I'm subscribed and anxiously awaiting to see what you go with. :smile:

randomquickness · 10-14-2008, 07:17 PM

I'm one of the ones running a 255 on 8.5 so I know what you mean. In all honesty the 255 looks a little too wide on it. I wouldn't go back to a 245 but we are only looking at a difference of an inch and a half 8.5-10. I think a 255 would look slightly stretched and the 265 will look just right. At least that is what I'm hoping!

randomquickness · 10-15-2008, 06:15 PM

I forgot to mention that the approximate weights will be 24# front and 25# rear. I will try to remember to post up the actual weight before and after tires.

Kris · 10-15-2008, 06:46 PM

Cant WAIT to see these!

eunosracr · 10-15-2008, 07:09 PM

Congrats. They will look amazing. Good luck with the wait. It was torture for me.

randomquickness · 10-15-2008, 08:07 PM

^ the rep said it should be closer to the 4 week mark. Either way it is already torturing me! lol at least my jb3 comes in tomorrow and that will keep me amused for a while

edit: euno, do you feel like you could have gone one size wider front and back with your tires?

Not with my current drop. Any wider and i would be shredding tires from all the rubbage. I think my set-up is just right for my drop.

twenzel · 10-15-2008, 11:37 PM

That is going to be sweet man!

WAY · 10-15-2008, 11:50 PM

Wow nice. How much would the second one cost? I like that.

randomquickness · 10-16-2008, 12:47 PM

The second one is from the Signature Series which are 3 piece wheels. I'm not sure of pricing but to find out you can contact someone at www.Jlevisw.com
