Thumbs up 19/20 iForged Daytona's are ON! Pics inside!

Well, got them mounted and balanced at Nu Image Motorsports today. Stacy did an excellent job once again. The wheels are a new design from iForged called the Daytona and it is part of their new Xtreme Lip Technology line. This allows for a 2.5" lip in front that will still clear big brakes, and a 4" lip out back which looks FLAT OUT KILLER!

Due to a national back order on the Continental CS2's, I was forced to go with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's which rate superior in every measurable category, but are only available in 265 & 295 widths as opposed to the 275 & 305 widths from Continental. I was concerned with the tires "stretching" over the wheels, but after seeing the mounted product, I am 100% happy with the forced decision....it was a blessing in disguise.

Here are some pics after I slapped them back onto the car:

My dream car and those wheels... here, you can have my G instead, it just totally messes my head up looking at that car Do these headlights come with the hood? How does that work? How wide are the wheels and did you ever get a chance to weigh them without tires? Haha sorry for all these questions.

Thanks a bunch guys.

Cactus, I scrape a little but nothing major. That's why I don't have it dropped a lot. I have about 2" of drop still available on my coil-overs.

Finiti35, The lights are definitely seperate and cost almost as much as the hood. The hood is from Motor City Mold and it runs about $2300 shipped ot Hawaii. Fits perfect though...I do mean PERFECT. The headlights are about $1700 + shipping and they suck in terms of build quality but score major points in the looks dept. IMO.....so I keep em. The wheels are 9.5 in front and 11" out back. They weigh 25lbs in front and 27 in back.

Check out my gallery at www.efiunlimited.com for more pics.

Aloha, Dave

Those are real sweet Dave. Your car always looks great. Not sure if I like them better than the Aeros that you had on previously though. The Aeros are still my favorite wheel for the Vette.
