I would sell my True Forged for a set of these if the offset used allows for a decent concave. I don't want a flat faced wheel. These would look sick in hyperblack on a black car.

imo, one of best wheel designs period. i'd jump on a set for sure
Doubt the rear will be any sort of dramatic concave .. with a +42 offset in the rear there is just no room to form a concave deep dish look. You need a low or negative offset to create that deep dish look

Big reg... post pics of ur car on the TF wheels.
Id like a lip on these but i think they will look good as is also. I cant wait to see a set mounted up. That will be the moment of truth... lol

Wheel color question: my CTS-V is infrared. Out of the available colors, would you recommend titanium, gunmetal, or matte black? I feel like this is a difficult application for *any* wheels because the CTS-V red isn't as bright and cheery as it should be to run black or gunmetal wheels, yet there isn't enough chrome trim to correctly set off titanium/hyper silver wheels. Here are a couple of pictures for reference:
Last summer: before grille repainting.
Very dirty (rear springs compressed temporarily coming off jacks):
Another, more unusual option, is the two tone black/titanium wheels.

My favorite F14 application: red Audi S5 with titanium F14s.

If I went black, I'm afraid that the car would look depressingly dark. And I'd have to black out the side markers and maybe the chrome trim too. It's probably look like this:

Somebody already did on the Cadillac Forums. I don't have the link on my iPhone, but I'll grab the bookmark when I get home later this evening.
Never mind, I found it (good stuff!):

Might have missed it cause I'm on my phone at work but I didn't see any silver V's in that link. Really wanted to see these actual wheels photoshopped on the car in different colors. The stock wheels in different finishes gives us a general idea but I'd really like to see how these wheels fit the car...
Thanks for the link though! Still some good color choices in that thread.
