Looks good....do you remember Rocstock Capri's from the late 70's? Reminds me of that...they came in white with gold or black with gold...I loved those cars. This car is unique in the same way they were.....

I do remember those lol. I like the throwback feeling of the gold. Alot of early 80s cars had it.

[xBassi]

[joshsmith]

That. Looks. SWEEEEEEEETTT

I never liked gold wheels unless it was on a WRX or STI, butt this looks real good!

Awesome choice

[Dr. Bill]

Here's what you need next - some bigger stoppers!

[NeverOEM]

it looks good; color may be a shade or two too dark though, but that's a small complaint

[GERMANCARMAN]

I am thinking of getting Forgestars, what size and offset are these? Also where did you get them?

Looks Great

I am thinking of going with the Bronze on Ibis White

Sorry one more quick question if you do not mind, did you get them with tires and TPM's or did you just order the rims and add them later? Based on your initial picture I am assuming you did them after, but wanted to make sure.

They are not quite flush with the fender arch a bit inside still and no rubbing

I ordered them and put the Toyos on that came on the stock wheels. The Discount Tire that installed them neglected to install TPMS sensors as I asked them to so now I have a low tires warning. Havent gona back to complain yet.

[abeR]

I will vag com them away for 1 g unit ride?

Best I have until I become less lazy.

[GaBoYnFla]

Aren't the stock wheels 19x9 50 et? They fit the fenders as long as there is no rubbing at all....your lowered?

I am not lowered there is no rubbing stock is 19X9 et52

[GaBoYnFla]

Esp the rear looks lowered on your car....wonder if it's the gap-offset making it look that way. I wouldn't mind a tad more offset but I've never used spacers and not really sure they are good for the car?

Peter is the longtime homie even though he is LA. He's had a few Audis as well so he knows what up, LOL!

SKNKWRX, Gold is deff befitting of the ibis TTS. Good job dude!

[jamminman]

Have the same wheels in brushed finish. Even with rolling the front fenders and trimming that ridiculous piece in the rear wheel well, I still had rubbing with 255/35-19 Yokohama Advan Neova's. Sent the wheels back and they planned several mm off the inside of the wheel to decrease the offset. Rubbing went away . . . but haven't been on the track yet.

Sknkwrx, you're seriously getting no rubbing even with no fender mods? Surprised. The rubbing I had was driving me nuts. Would've shredded the tires on the track.

Cant find hubcentric spacers under 10mm, was my understanding that with 10mm or more you would rub.

What was the offset on your forgestars, I thought you had et42? I went with 8mm more backspacing to avoid rubbing.

[GERMANCARMAN]

I would love to see a picture of Bronze on Ibis White, anyone with Photo-shop skills????

Funny thing, they never told me what the offset was and (stupid me) I never asked until after I got the wheels. They rubbed like crazy right away. I assumed they would get it right if they knew the make and model and I was using a stock sized tire. I was told they were et42 but who knows. Whenever I measured them it seemed way off that. Glad the et44 is workin' for ya. Wouldn't think 2mm would make that much difference. If you get a pit of rubbing in the twisties or on the track rolling the front fenders and trimming the rear should take care of it. Color looks great! Normally I don't like that color-too much contrast. Against the white it works fantastic though.

Peter may be your homie, Jason, but "customer service" ain't his middle name. Lots of unreturned calls and emails and lots of excuses. That being said, he did eventually plane down the wheels and I do love 'em. So, I'd still highly recommend the Forgestar.

It took a little bit of time to get used to the gold wheels, but the more I look at this the more I like it!
