IForged Astras, 19X10.5 and 20X13:headbang:. Didn't with the gunmetal finish this time around. Ordered my Nitto Invo's 285/30/19 and 345/25/20's yesterday afternoon, should be in this week. Got a killer deal for both wheels and tires:2tu:

Bat --

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

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 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

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.

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:).

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. :D
