i just received my forged specialties FSM-20 mesh wheels....ordered through chris@wheelsdirectonline.com, he was very helpful throughout the entire process and made sure to keep me in the loop through the entire build process...from making sure it would clear my future BBK to final delivery....great customer service!!!

the wheels are a forged three piece aluminum mesh style wheel...initial impressions are the wheel has outstanding build quality and i cant say enough how much i like how they look!!!!!

i went for an 18x8 +48(but you can order almost any size/offset) wrapped in 235-40-18 Dunlop Direzza sport z1 star spec's, the face is hyper black, with a polished aluminum lip..

now on to pics...let me know what you think

 

nice wheels

 

hellaflush?

 

mesh style looks nice, didn't think it would be hellaflush with a +48 offset though. But I wouldn't know since I don't own one.

Good choice on a BBS style replica.

 

18x8 +48 wont be hellaflush unless he is using spacers but wheels look awesome especially with the gray car!

 

Great choice.

 

far form it...


imma on 18x9.5 +20 and im now even close to hellaflush status... and im on a est. 6" drop form stock height!

 

Nice wheels. In for some installed pictures.

 

Can't wait to see what they look like installed.

 

thanks for the compliments guys...i love the way the wheels look and while they may look similar to some bbs/ volk/ other high end mesh wheels...these have a unique personality that seamed to fit better with the car that any of the others...installed pics will be up this weekend hopefully

 

1. 18x9.5 +20 on an EVO comes flush, so you are beyond flush.

2. There is no way in HELL that you are an "est" 6" below stock height. You would be dragging your entire frame if you were.

 

dont hate because i am! i have done measurements verses a stock RA side by side!

form roof top to roof top... i am about 6" lower... with about 2.75" to 4.25" clearances on the bottom depending on what you are looking at...

ground to pinch weld is 4.25"

ground to lowest point on the chassis is 3.5"

ground to lowest point of the exhaust is 2.75"


a stock RA is 58.75'' to 59'' depending or what angle and ground... i just call my dealer ship to measures and confirm

my RA is 53'' about 53.5'' depending on angle


58.75" - 53" = 5.75" thats about 6"

 

sorry for hi jacking your thread... this thread is now returned to the poster!

 

very nice!
ive got a GG too and ive been waiting to see a nice grey wheel on it

 

okay finally got the wheels installed....let me know what you think

before


waiting to be road-force balanced


wheels were machined to such close tolerances the little bit of rust on the hubs had to be sanded to get them on


finally!!!


two more outside the house





sorry for the quality...its the best my phone can do
