FSM-20 *Teaser*
i just received my forged specialties FSM-20 mesh wheels....ordered through chris@wheelsdirectonline.com, he was very helpful throughout the entire process and made sure to keep me in the loop through the entire build process...from making sure it would clear my future BBK to final delivery....great customer service!!!
the wheels are a forged three piece aluminum mesh style wheel...initial impressions are the wheel has outstanding build quality and i cant say enough how much i like how they look!!!!!
i went for an 18x8 +48(but you can order almost any size/offset) wrapped in 235-40-18 Dunlop Direzza sport z1 star spec's, the face is hyper black, with a polished aluminum lip..
now on to pics...let me know what you think

1. 18x9.5 +20 on an EVO comes flush, so you are beyond flush.
2. There is no way in HELL that you are an "est" 6" below stock height. You would be dragging your entire frame if you were.

dont hate because i am! i have done measurements verses a stock RA side by side!
form roof top to roof top... i am about 6" lower... with about 2.75" to 4.25" clearances on the bottom depending on what you are looking at...
ground to pinch weld is 4.25"
ground to lowest point on the chassis is 3.5"
ground to lowest point of the exhaust is 2.75"
a stock RA is 58.75'' to 59'' depending or what angle and ground... i just call my dealer ship to measures and confirm
my RA is 53'' about 53.5'' depending on angle
58.75" - 53" = 5.75" thats about 6"

waiting to be road-force balanced
wheels were machined to such close tolerances the little bit of rust on the hubs had to be sanded to get them on
finally!!!

sorry for the quality...its the best my phone can do
