New BC Forged KL51’s in bound!!

[mustang88_cars]

After a lot of research and deliberation I ordered some BC Forged KL51’s. 19x11.5 +59 and 19x11 +24. In their bright gloss graphite finish. They should be here on Friday. Almost 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

One thing I was disappointed with was the lack of information that some individuals/companies are willing to share in regards to offsets. I will also weigh the wheels and post that info as well. I will post some pictures when I’ve gotten them mounted and balanced. Hopefully that will help some others when trying to decide on offsets. I picked +59 for the rear for a flush fitment and +24 for the front for just a bit of tuck. I think +22 would have been more of a flush fitment on the front but I didn’t love how much the tire stuck out from the fender as you looked toward the bottom portion of the car. I’ll be using the standard GT350 tire sizes as the Cup 2’s that were on my 2019 were brand new. Once those wear out I’ll put the R size PS4S on.

Here’s the car prior to the wheels obviously.

Looks like Kona Blue in this lighting, gorgeous color. I think the grey wheels will look great with that car, I never cared for black wheels against the dark blue…..

Those will look great on your car! Your ET choices were wise - I have been running 20x11 ET24 and 20x11.5 ET61 wheels on my 350R for 6 years. I've never understood why someone would want the poke of the standard 11.5" ET56 rear wheels.

Wheels showed up today. I’m out of town so had the wife send a pic.

Uuuhhhh, because it looks good. Maybe for the opposing reason that some people don’t like a wheel sitting soo far inboard on a 61.

It’s darn near creepy how similar BC and Signature wheels look.

That’s because BC Forged makes Signature Wheels for them.

I'm hoping +59 is a good compromise between +56 and +61

Except an ET61 still has the edge of the tire fractionally outboard of the fender even with -2 degrees camber in back. Don't forget that the only reason the CF wheels had the ET56 was because Carbon Revolution couldn't spec a smaller pad area with the technology of the day. They fixed that on the GT500 wheels 5 years later.

What was the turn-around time if you don't mind sharing?

Definitely would like some installed pictures and weights. Considering these wheels. I also don't like the poke alot of the aftermarket wheels have. I think the rear factory offset on a non R is perfect. The fronts could use some spacing out though.

Don’t mind at all! I made the order Feb 17th. They were at my door step Mar 21st!

I will definitely get some installed pics up. I’ll have weights today or tomorrow. Installed pics are going to take maybe a week or two unfortunately.
