Lookin' good!

Does anyone know the specs on the correct wheel bolts for the Forgestars? I want to order some gunmetal ones. Thanks!

Here is a photo with the black lugs.....
The photos with the stock lugs were from a test fitting before the rears came in.

Also for anyone who might not know...
You CAN NOT use stock lugs. Stock lugs have a ball seat and these wheels require a conical seat.

No, mine came with my rears.
They came from my vendor.
Because my order took so long they threw them in for free.

Just for the record.....
My two rear wheels took 8 WEEKS to from order date to arrival.

I don't think so. I believe their newer "super deep concave" is only in the 19"+ sizes.

Looks good and better with the black lugs. Not feeling the stickers for center caps though.
