Thanks guys! I couldn't fuckin' believe it at first.. until I had the cash in my hand! There's no greater feeling than making a profit! Other than... well, ya know....being inside ed's mom


Ordered my rear aero bumper today! Still undecided if I was the aero front, or get some sort of front lip?!

Coils are going to be ordered this weekend... as soon as I make up my mind on which ones I want.



Btw justn, nice pups!! Been contemplating on getting one.. but just don't have the time & I don't want it to feel neglected

^^ I agree with y'all but just trying to be pragmatic is the offset is off like 5mm or less.. Any more will be a PITA and a big discount should be expected...

It looks like they are all the rear offset, so I would rub pretty badly in the front if I put them on. I am going to talk to them today and see what they have to say. The order confirmation email from throwdown performance had all the correct information.

The offset distance between the two should be 13mm or around .5". I looked inside the wheel for the offset and was confused. Where I thought it should say the offset, they all said different numbers. One wheel matched up what the offset should be. I measured them all, just to see which ones would stick out more(to mark them rears or front) and they all were the same measurements.

I think they are all 35, which the rear should be . I did a test fit on the rear and it looked correct. Front should be 48.

Since the wheels didn't tell me what offset they were inside(or on the box) I did a test to at least see which were front/rear. I put a wooden box on the floor, and put the wheel facing upward on it so that the center of the wheel was the only part resting on the box. So different offsets should be different heights from the floor. They were all the same distance from the floor.

19x8.5

Didn't go wider because of tire size constraints. Either they didn't have the correct size of tire, or I'd have to go to a 35 sidewall which I didn't want to do.

Turns out they are all 4 the front offset, 48. So either spacers or getting 2 wheels remade. I really didn't want spacers, which is most of the reason why I went with custom offsets. Plus there is a paint blemish on one of the wheels, so that problem would be solved too if I get them remade. I am sad

I vote you keep the wheels and get spacers. It's easier to sell the set later when they are uniform considering they are NOT staggered. Get whatever credit you can from them and rock them with some spacers

Hmmmm. Good point about being able to to sell them later on. There is still the blemish on the wheel problem though. Maybe I can get some money back from that to save me the hassle of sending one wheel back. It bothers me, but with some touch up paint it won't be very visible.

i freaked out when i first got my wheels. because the wheels have no offset stamp on there, and the boxes say 19x10 and some offset, which were not what i ordered. however, when i compared i did get staggered offset so phew.

good luck though, mark and forgestar have pretty good customer service, im sure they will take care of you

I can still push the wheels out far enough with my offsets, I dont' need a super wide wheel. I didn't want stretched tires or a 35 sidewall tire.

Bish please
