Considering these IFORGED wheels... wanting feedback

jpa99acr · May 15th, 2008, 01:12 AM

Thinking about the 19/20" Iforged Astras with gunmetal and polished lip. I think they would look SWEET on my ACR, plus they would save me a TON of time on the weekends cleaning the stock wheels (they are a b*tch).

Opinions? These look to be the best option for my black/silver ACR, but curious if there might be a better look.

I think it would look hot. That GTS you gave as an example is AMAZING!!!

i duno. i always like the ACR's BBS...

To many people have the astras, do something different. Depending on the lip size the best looking wheel would be the carbon fiber 360 forged if they could offer at least a 5 inch lip in the rear. If you go iforged I would do a hyper black essen chrome lip or a hyper black monaco chrome lip. Hope this gives you a couple other ideas and beautiful car by the way.

Hey Jp

We must have the same taste as those are the wheels I order for my ACR. There is a group buy going on over at the morg for I forges right now.

those wheels are bad as fuck. go for it.

Archaic_GTS · May 15th, 2008, 07:31 AM

Are those the same rims that the old "Bat" car had on them at Viperclub.org?

If so, those rims are well suited for the Gen II GTS (especially with a huge lip in back).

Chipster · May 15th, 2008, 08:35 AM

Yeah, thats what Bat had. I have the same thing on my red 97 GTS except they are black with Chrome lips

Those astras are my favorite, would look killer on your car. Im stuck cause with my color combo (the blue stripes) those gun metal ones wouldnt go too well. Id buy them if my car was all silver though.

Those wheels would look great on your car. Many people are putting these rims on their Viper but very unlikely there will be another one in your town with the same combination!

These would look awesome... 19/20 iForged Daytonas. Black with a polished lip (5" in back)

I think Black with a Chrome lip would look SICK on your car!!! Plus Matt from Speedwerkz is a cool guy to do business with. He will hook you up.

**_Mark_** · May 15th, 2008, 03:37 PM

Timely - I'm about to do the same thing on my all-black 99 ACR.

However, I am going with either the Rev or the Daytona, black with chrome lip. I think I'm leaning toward the Rev at this point.

Also, I originally planned to go with 19 all around due to tire availability. But now it seems the PS2 are readily available in the 20.

Does anyone have any feedback on tire availability if I go with 19/20 vs. 19/19?

Ref: 19" | 20" FS Rev Black

Daytona: 19" | 20" PS Daytona Hyper Black

Here is another option:

**_Mark_** · May 15th, 2008, 04:38 PM

Yeah, see that looks like 19 all around - I don't think I like the giant 20 in the rear as much.

BTW - that's almost exactly how my ACR looks - windows tinted out and silver emblems. Though I'm going to de-badge it with the new rims.

jpa99acr · May 15th, 2008, 06:13 PM

would you have to lower it to avoid a gap in the wheel wells?

**_Mark_** · May 15th, 2008, 06:38 PM

My ACR is already lowered 3/4" - otherwise, yes the standard cars need an Eibach kit or something to lower them.

Thomas · May 15th, 2008, 06:46 PM

I think thr rev's only offer a 4 inch lip?

**_Mark_** · May 15th, 2008, 07:17 PM

I need to clear the gen3 big brakes and don't want the huge lip anyway, but you're right, one of the differences between the Formula Series and the Precision Series is the lip.
