If it's not too much of a pain, could you weigh those rims and report on the weights front and rear?

Gunmetal finish????? Do you mean color? If so I would have thought that the gunmetal would be much darker. Thanks ..nice wheels

May I ask what type of KW you bought (1, 2 or the relatively new 3)? I am considering buying a set for my car too but have heard from various people that the height adjustment rings become fixed to the shock body over time, thus ruining the entire set

Not sure if they did something to remedy this or if the problem really occurs often.

The ones in the photos appear to be silver painted, not gunmetal. Probably just a dealer stock photo he used.

Very nice choice. I am very eager to see what they look like on your car. Going to loose impressive I think.

Kenneth Krieger · Feb 17, 2008

Have to send a pic after these are installed! Looks good at this point though!

Viper Specialty · Feb 17, 2008

cant wait to see what these look like on a White car.

Chipster · Feb 18, 2008

Very nice Bat. I have the astras on my 97 and love the look. If I had a VOI coupe, i think i would have gone with black centers

Too much contrast for me. Would've taken away from the Blue Stripes imo

VERY nice...so no powder-coating, leaving them the way they are? They would look AWESOME on the VOI...can't wait to see pics once installed! ~juli

MikeR · Feb 19, 2008

Looking forward to pics. Also , let us know what you think of the Nitto's. I stayed away from them and went with the PS2's, which means I have a little bit taller rear in 20" size. But I hadnt heard good feedback on Nitto's if you really push the car in the turns. Be interestng to hear your feedback. I was going to order same size as you did.

Blue Batmobile · Feb 20, 2008

I'l give a writeup once I get wheels installed and get some good mioles on them

. BTW, IForged wheels come with TPS adaptors, so your stock tps will work with their wheels

Thats good to know

ILLSMOQ · Feb 21, 2008

could you get us some pics of the adaptors? I wonder if they will work with HRE's. I had to use straps in my wheels and I had one of them come apart.

Hey numb nuts, i sent you a pic of mine when I got my Iforged. It hooks on to the inner barrel where air valve stem comes into wheel
I think I told you that they should work, Im sure HRE/ Iforged and most use a very similar air valve, so there probably all the same size.

That was the nicest thing I could say to him without getting censored. :lmao:

Its ok, he just knows it will be back in his garage again if something breaks. He wants it out, so he can park his SRT8 jeep back in there. So I know he will do a fantastic job.
