So I am getting a set of F14's and want some opinions choosing which finish to match against my silver cobra. Pic of a silver cobra with F14's below and also a pic of my cobra (2001). I'm looking at custom sets on flickr from getyourwheels.com. Choices I like below.
- Matte Golden Bronze

- Brushed Gunmetal Gloss

- Polished Copper

- Textured Gunmetal

- Brushed Clear

- Polished

I really like the bronze, but I didn't have the balls to do it with the new set of wheels I just bought.

I liked bronze and the brushed gunmetal gloss. I'm thinking brushed gunmetal gloss. I'm also adding stop techs big brake kit. Yellow calipers should pop pretty well against them I'm thinking

Do you know where these wheels are made? They are probably the most affordable aftermarket wheel not including standard mustang wheels like FR500 and Saleen. I'm thinking about the brushed gunmetal gloss for my car.

The brushed gunmetal on Silver - DSG- Black cars looks great, that first pic looks bas ass. I do like the that F14 wheel in polished though!

I tried finding out this answer as well. I think the final manufacturing is done here in the US (flow forming, final machining and finishing). The aluminum wheel casts (before the flow forming process) are probably imported (just guessing). I don't know if this "cast" would qualify as a "raw material" or a "made in China/Taiwan etc" part, allowing you to classify/or not classify the finished wheel as being made in USA. But who know's maybe they 100% make them in the USA, but I don't think so since they don't advertise this on their website. Apparently Weld Racing bought Forgestar a couple years ago, seen in this article here --> Weld Racing buys Forgestar custom wheel business
