Default New Wheels, Haters gonna hate?

New wheels showed up this week, got them on and mounted. I did a search and it looks like I may be the first 4th gen with these. Is that a good thing or bad?

Wheels are Forgestar F14 18x9 fronts and 18x10 rears
Tires are Nitto Invo's 275/35/18 for the fronts and 295/35/18 on the back.

I think they look really sharp on your TA. Nice choice.

No hate here-they look pretty good to me. Way to find something new and different.

I like em, pretty cool when people try something different and it looks good. A little off topic but do they look sorta small from far away and when you get close to the car they look perfect? I keep getting that effect from my new wheels lol

Looks good! I think they would look better than they already do if they had a lip to the wheel. Either way, looks good!

Thanks guys, I figured since there was no dish most wouldn't like them. Glad you guys proved me wrong.

*EDIT* Yes Egott if they had a lip, they would have been beyond amazing

I was just thinking about how this would look yesterday actually, I have been helping my buddy look for wheels on his 2010 SS. You see some people with them on the 5th's, but haven't seen any on a 4th till now! Looks real good, I like them.

Looks really good to me, but the dark center caps makes it look like the cap are missing from a distance(photo #4), If you could get center caps the same color as the wheels it would look a lot better.

Thats what I thought when I was ordering them, I wasn't sure how they would look even when I opened the boxes... once they were on I was happy though. I highly recommend them for his 5th gen. Trust me when I say pics don't do them justice.

Thanks and yes the center caps need something else, your not the first person to say it looks like nothing is there. I am going to see what I can do about that.

Yes they are similar, but these actually aren't all silver. The face's are a brushed/machined finish, which reflects light real nice.

Thanks, they are a relatively new company, and like I said, I think I may be the first person with them on a 4th gen. They are fairly common on the 5th gens though.
