IForged Wheels Installed - Pics Inside :)

We just finished putting some new IForged Wheels on a customers car. He has a 2002 996 C2. Color is blue, behind the dirt Wheels we did were the IForged Precision Series Essen Wheels in a 19x8.5 and a 19x11 in Gold. Great look on the Blue IMO We ran a Toyo Proxes 4 Tire which is a good street tire. 295/30/19 and 235/35/19, 245/30 could have fitted as well. See Toyo Site here for Tire info -

Yeah he drove up from Tucson and was off to Vegas, so no washy. Next time! The Toyo in a 315 would not fit. He did not want to do a Michelin, which the correct size would have been a 305/25. That set of tires front and rear was like $800. Compared to $1600 PS2 not bad.

The rears weight about 24lbs and the front about 21lbs.

Thanks for the comments!

Sorry there are no spacers on the car. Are you talking offset? If so it is the standard offset that IForged does for the 996 narrow body.

Did you have to roll the fenders? Any problems with rubbing?

No rubbing and no rolling. The car has JIC Cross Coilovers, so it is pretty firm, there is about a 1.5 inch gap. If you hit train tracks or something hard enough, yeah you might rub. But hard cornering and driving there is none. That car is pretty low so it could be raised. That is the right offset on those wheels. HRE, IForged, and other 3 piece companies have those so they sit flush. Here is a link to pics of my old 996C2 with some IForged on them!

Yes that is my car. I didn't have time to wash it prior to installing the wheels. I know it's a shame that i left my baby that way.. Well i finally got it washed and it looks sweet!! I love the color combo. It's lapis blue with the race gold wheels.

About the rubbing issue, yes it does rub, but only over big bumps at high speeds. Besides that driving around town and over small bumps it's no problem. On the way to vegas, i was traveling an average of 100+mph and didn't rub once. The coilovers are very stiff, and have to admit that the car handles awesome around corners. I'll probably raise the rear maybe 1/4 of an inch.

Thanks Dan! I love the wheels and so does everyone that has seen them. Clean that is
