Hey guys so I have bought a pair of ISS Forged wheels about 2 months back now and they have fnally shipped out to me.
The guys over at ISS Forged are a great group of guys, customer service ++1 always kept me informed of what was going on and how the progress was coming along.
Since its been a while that I have ordered them I asked them to shoot me off a pic to see them as I couldnt wait any longer.
Here is what I got, ISS Forged GT Spyders, 20x9.5 all around Front ET:40 Rear ET:35

Very nice AP! Can't wait to see these on your car. Is the lip an exact colour match to your car? I may have to check these out next I visit my son in Montreal.

Nice. I will be very interested to see the pictures when they are on because I had a similar thought with some BBS CH-R's (the official wheel of the b8 S4).

Colored lips never look good...just my opinion...ghetto...get em polished or matte black

Nice looking wheel, but you didn't get them in that colour scheme, did you?

Yes to clarify everything those are the exact rims I have bought. They have shipped out from ISS Forged last week. The wheels are color matched to the color of my car (sprint blue)
So when I get the wheels il have to put the tires on them and throw them up on to the car.
Should be in by today or tomorrow :)

It's a nice design. 3-piece tends make for a heavier wheel, though - what's the weight on these? ISS web site does not list any specs.

These are actually the lightest wheels they make weighing in at 21lbs
And lol my car is in storage during the winter so they wont see any snow :P

Yes Im on coils so the perfect fitment will probably take a couple times of re-ajusting..But im sure itll look crazy!!
Just excited to get them at this point!

Nice design on the rims and I look forward to seeing some pics, but so far I've never seen a car that looks good with color matched lips - including S4's.

You said you only ordered "a pair"... what are you going to do about the other 2?[>_<] I'm not a fan of the color matched lips either, but it should look different at least.

If you believe the claim that they are only 21 pounds, please don't weigh them. I have a sinking feeling you will be disappointed.

Taking good care of your baby I like it. As for as the rims go I think they will look pretty cool. I haven't seen anyone do color match with sprint blue on the b8 so it should be exciting to see.

I think the wheel design looks great. The coloured lips? Not sure at this point. Interested to see what they look like mounted!

Where do you get 5K from??
And yes always store her in the winter, specially out here in quebec with are sh*t winters prime place to blow out a rim or brake something with all this snow that hides everything!
Cant wait to get them so I can mount the tires and put them on to shoot some shots for everyone to see!
The future is near :D

Can't wait to see some pics with them on. I kinda like them.
I think you'll have to keep them really clean all the time. The brake dust will definitely show on a coloured lip.

Looks aggressive. Can't wait to see these on the car. Wouldn't that rub?

No everything has been calculated to not rub, specific ride hight with the ET all the way down to have test fitted a couple of tires to make sure what we were going with will be flush agressive with no rub
wrapping these in a 245/30R20 not sure yet what tire have 2 sets of tires at home waiting for the wheels to arrive to finalize tire selection

Found these in a different thread, looks like someone spotted you at a local Audi meet up there (thought you might appreciate the pictures):

I mean the stance and fitment is fuckin perfect, but I'd still prefer those lips to be chrome or stainless. Would still match the window trim and mirrors
looks awesome....two thumbs up!
