Just picked up the car on Monday. The car barley has 500 miles on it.

Swapped on my new wheels. Forgestar F14 wheels, matte black finish

1. 20x9 front wheels on Mickey Thompson street comp tires 275/35/20

2. 20x11 rear wheels on Mickey Thompson street comp tires 305/35/20

Changed the look and feel of the car.

that looks awesome, congrats :beer: i am not usually a fan of black wheels but it really does look great, esp with the window tint.

are there lowering springs? it looks like the perfect offset for the car, how were you able to know the proper rim backspace and offset to get?

I just lucked out, was surfing eBay and came across the wheels. Fits perfect. As for lowering springs. So far, steeda progressive rate drop springs. Have me the take look I was after! Stock shocks, but handles better.

Here are updated pics! Installed steeda progressive rate lowering springs, improved handling and feel of the car, feels more planted and responsive along with a tighter feel. No more bouncy feeling. Actually much smoother.

Finished spring install this morning at my buddies shop at 6am.

We did the front springs yesterday morning, so you will notice the first few pictures of the car, the front end is lowered and stock rear springs, looked great and felt better then stock that way. But after rear spring install feels like it should, love the new look. Feels awesome now!

I like the look.

Don't like the 50th grill and chrome taillight trim though

I agree, it was hard to find a comp orange A6 GT locally. The ford dealer found this one in Ohio. Either purchase now or order a 2016. So I settled for now. I do like the raven interior with white stitching on the dash pad, door panels and seats!

Grill and tail lights can always be swapped out.

Considering you went 305, I think you did well on the offset choice.(not flush or sticking out, just slightly in - perfect!! ) They look great!!

Why thank you sir! What I was worried about the offset, I got lucky on these wheels. I purchased them off eBay from a gentleman who had them built for his Shelby. I have room to spare with this 2015 rear wheel well. I do think a 20x12 with proper offset will fit perfect, using a 325/30/20 or 335/30/20 tire. Future plans maybe? I love the widest rear wheel look

I like it, Eddie! Black wheels go really well with certain colors, and orange is one of them. Good looking GT you have there. I'm waiting for Tim (Timspony) to chime in because he has a '15 CO GT, too.
