just received a beautiful set of iforged wheels today.

can't wait to put them on.

I purchased a set of continental tires to go along in 275/30/19 and 305/25/20 it seems that there is little option of tires for the 20's in this size so thats why i went with the continentals; any body have any feed back on these tires? also the guys at the tire shop said the tire sensors could not be placed on these wheels and i would have a sensor warning going off on my dash.
Has anyone had this problem? would appreciate suggestions to fix it.

Have you talked to Iforged regarding whether the TPS fit? I'd be reluctant to take what the tire shop guys say at face value, unless you're certain they really know their stuff. If the TPS won't fit (I think the Iforged may have a custom air valve setup, in which case the TPS won't fit), you'll need to band clamp/epoxy the TPS to the wheel. If your vette is '01 or later, you can turn off the TPS readout on your DIC with a Tech II. Good luck.

I've heard nothing but good from the conti's I've stuck with 285/30/20's though because of price and sidewall height. POST SOME PICTURES MAN! P.S. how long ago did you order?

ordered the wheels on dec 23. I though the wait wasn't to bad. I originally bought the 285/30/20's in falken's which looked like a nice tire
and were $900 for all four but the 285's would not fit the 20x11 wheel so I had to return them and bought the continentals today I saw them on a mercedes 500 and they did look tough; had to pay an extra $400 but I think it will be worth it. will post some pictures when I get them installed on friday.
