Default Forgestar 20x9.5 are Finally On!

After an additional 3 week wait due to the wrong finish with the first batch, I finally got my wheels back. Here are the specs:

Forgestar F14 - 20x9.5
Offset - +47
Tires - General Exclaim 265/30/20
Suspension - H&R Sport Springs

Thanks to Chris at DNJ Wheels in Garden Grove, CA for the excellent customer service. He made sure a mistake by the manufacturer was corrected to my exact specifications.

Wheels suit the car very nicely - love it and the H&R give it a good stance. No camber issues huh? Are those clear side marker lens?
The tint looks really nice on the A6... guess u don't have issues with that dark a tint in your part of the world. My friend just moved here from FL and had a dark tint on this car - had no problems with it in FL, and got a ticket here in CA

I haven't noticed any camber issues. Yes, those are clear side marker lenses. Hit or miss on tint in my area (San Diego). I did get a fix it ticket once about 10 years ago.

Nicely done... Makes the "butt" and rear quarter panel of the car look much better and wider.

Looks great! Appears the rear dropped more than the front? Do you suspect the front will settle a bit more to even it out or is that how H&R's are?

Rear definitely dropped more than the front. I've had the springs on for over a month now so I think that's about as good as it's going to get. That's how H&R's are, but I suspect it has to do with my car having the stock suspension also and not the sport. Sport suspension owners and S6 owners with H&R's didn't have this issue. At least, not as prevalent. I could have gone Eibach, but I didn't like the overall drop (wanted it lower). Eventually, I will go to coilovers, but I am happy for now.

The rear is too low in relation to the front.

Car looks great, wheels are real nice.

Enjoy
