It looks great but IMHO the NITTO Invo tires ****.
Just look at the teadwear rating, higher than even the O.E. PS2's. I put them on my '05 and scared the hell out of myself, relative to the Kumho's (that you can't get anymore).
I think that, going forward, tires are going to be a real problem especially in O.E. sizes
Again, just my opinion.

Cut a 1.81 60' first time out on them, and didn't 1fast400 run low 9's on Invos in his old TT gen 2. I personally like them fine for a street tire.

Those look great. I went the Forgeline route, and they would cut your fingers if you tried to mount or wash them. Absolutely horribly finished/machined, and they won't make it out of the box as a result. I am extraordinarily disappointed to say the least. I am glad to see Andy got everything turned around for you. Those look great.

Wow! Sorry to hear that...I know Forgelines are typically badazz wheels

Hmm...I didn't have that experience at all, on the street at least. In fact, I was blown away at the difference from my old Pirelli's to my Invo's on my old Paxton Vert. Keep in mind, these aren't 18/19s, so options are extremely limited. Nonetheless, I'll continue running the Invo's, and will continue to endorse them for a great street tire, with some occasional dragstrip use.

I like the Invos for street/traction, but they **** on a track. PS2's are much better for tracking.

Why run a narrower tire? Every single wheel combo I've had on my coupe has used the Nitto Invo 285/30-19 tire. No rubbing. Is it because your car is too low?

Wheels look great! I dig the look, just not the heavy weight of the deep concaves.

Thanks Tony. Well, I know the 285/30 is the most common size for the 19s up front, but the 275/30 is actually closer to original diameter anyways. Since I run my cars slammed, I think the extra clearance will certainly help...plus, I think the 275 matches the 345 sidewall better. I realize I'm in the minority on that...lol

Andy/Ryan, were you able to try a different offset and tire on the front? Looking forward to seeing it tucked under that slammed ride.

Not yet...although, it's my fault. I've been busy with work and haven't been on top of it. Andy and 360 Forged urged me to get them shipped out the same weekend at their expense, but I couldn't find the time

I will soon Nick. 360 Forged is already turning the wheels right around, and should arrive by this weekend. Weather permitting, I'll try to get it out for a few pics!
