Decided to change my cars appearance and no better way than to add wheels. Old wheels are the Roush Hyper Black 20x9.5 with 275/35/20 all around. New combo is Forgestar F14 Piano Black 20x9 in the front and 20x11 in the rear Tires are 275/35/20 in the front and 295/35/20 in the rear Nitto Invos. I think both the wheels look really good in their own way but I am really digging the new Forgestars. What do you think? I will try to get better pictures in the sun in the a.m.

PS I wish I weighed the new wheels as I know the Roush weigh 62lbs each. But I forgot

Wish I had gone piano black

I went back and forth between the matte and piano. Looked at 500 pics and am glad I went piano. But it was a tough decision.

Looks good, selling the Roush

I sold them to my brother actually. Hooked him up. $1200 with all new tires too.




Thanks guys for the compliments. I'll post better pics tomorrow.

Hey RC. Yeah those Nittos are fine for day to day use. I had DR when I first got the blower but I didn't need them. I don't drive the car hard 95% of the time. And when I go out to race it I just thro on the racestars. When you getting your blower? Can't do towers tomorrow. Maybe next week. You going tomorrow?

I actually have the same color car as you I was going to run F14s but couldn't get myself to spend 3k with tires so I bought a set of used roush rims and new tires cost me 1800 and I powrd coated them black. Car looks good though either way

Looks good! Why didn't you go 20x10 deep concave up front? Color match the skirts and diffuser with some silver brembos, that would finish off you car I think :)

Im going with DR's since I wont have another set to race with, and I will have the TVS which needs some better grip down low.

Im planning on Calling or going by PBH within the next 2 weeks to make the fiinal arrangements for pricing/parts, etc, and then hopefully placing the order so that the car is back in my hands by the end of Feb.

Was 50/50 tonight on towers depending if you or some other locals were going. Shoot me a PM early next week if you can make it next Friday..Im off the next 3.

(after seeing new pics)
That's the one thing that I personally do not like about solid black rims: You cannot see the rim (design). You just see "black" when you stand far a way and look at it. To me it takes away from the design.

Sean..did you get rid of the Fogs because of the Vortech?
