UPDATED WITH PICS. 20 inch Forza Forged on my Black 2010 Turbo

Thanks to Yoan for a very smooth and friendly experience. Wheels are 20 inch Forza Forged. Better pics will be up in a few days. I took these with my phone after having mounted them on at the dealership.

Wheels mounted at a dealership?

Or the tires were mounted at a dealership?

Changing wheels is a ten minute job anyone can do. For free.

Regardless of method, it looks GOOD!

not these man, it takes a whole lot of effort to change these center bolt wheels, they would disrespect the crap out of your hand tools.

Unfortunately the center lock wheels are tightened with 500NM of pressure, and only the dealership had the huge center lock bolt that is able to loosen them.

You get the centerlock removal thingy in the car.

Yes its stuck on tight but 500nm just requires a longer than normal wrench. Your standard ones (at least mine, bought from the local tool place) is 200nm rated/measuring and its about 12-14" long.

I can see if you aren't the mechanical type it might be easier to get the dealership to do the work though, but for the price you pay dealers for an hours labor, you could buy your own suitable wrench and be able to change your wheels whenever you want.

Any reasonably good air tool and air supply can do 500nm with ease.

Regardless, this shouldn't detract from the thread, the wheels look awesome, I love the black on black look.

Wheels look great! I didn't know the center locks require 370 lb-ft of torque.
