Got mine in yesterday, 6 weeks exactly.

And then the fun began...

and for some reason they sent the pre-August 2009 center caps?

UGHHHHH, hopefully this will be resolved in less than 6 weeks. There goes my install date of 2 weeks from now:shakes head:

That would make me mad too but I don't think for me at least that the little dent is bad enough to send them in and wait another 6 weeks but than again it's because I've been waiting for mine 8 weeks already. If you don't mind waiting than send them in.

^^ still waiting on my bronze burst (they had some issues, since it is a new color). Expect to get them next week. What sizes did you go with?

oleg 05-06-2011 12:22 PM

I ended up going with stock sizes but +24f +20r offsets. I really did not have the money for new tires so I needed to use the stock once. Your specs?

I've ordered 19x9.5 et30, and 19x11 et23 - processed mid-March.

What were these "issues" ?? Im waiting on my bronze burst. Prob not comin in till the end of the month or early june. Hope I dont have any issues! Man im dying to know what this colorway is gonna look like!! Make sure u post pics when they come in speedworks!

Man, very disappointed to see people still having issues with these. Likely going to drive me away from purchasing a set.

Alchemy 05-07-2011 08:14 PM

Btw rarwz, that ding sucks. Especially after waiting all that time. Personally though I would say screw it and mount em! The only thing thats gonna stop me from mounting mine is if they show up missing spokes :)

I was told that since it was a new color, they didn't like how it came out on a test wheel, so they had to make some changes to get it right (as shown in pics). They will be sent to me on Monday.

Hmmmmmmmm. Hope they all match!! You say as shown in pics but every pic ive seen, and there arent many, they have looked different. Some pics they look bland and darker than I would like but in others they pop like hell and have a beautiful color. Guess it all depends on how the light hits it. Good luck!

Those center caps look like pre-1900. :D

oleg 05-07-2011 10:20 PM

Were we supposed to get different once because that is the once that they just shipped with mine.

rarwz 05-08-2011 06:21 AM

The center caps are supposed to be black carbon fiber looking. Contact your reseller, they will fix it. My new center caps will ship tuesday.
as for my rim, I was told by forgestar that that is a powder coating issue. I shipped it back and was told I would have it in time for my install on the 18th. I think that is the best solution regardless if it is a PC issue or not.

Yep, I have talked to my sellar many times, and told him to make sure they all look perfect before he even sends them (he is near Forgestar). All of the pics I have seen they look the same, and yes it is the light that makes them 'pop' and look very bronze. With no light they almost look like a black, and then with light, the bronze. I'm cool with that. I was tentative with Forgestar too, but for the price and the look it was worth the risk.
