Also, it's funny how good those F14s look, yet how similar to the stockers and accessory wheels they are. The stockers have a similar concave appearance, and the accessories are a similar split 7-spoke.
And a set of 245/40 275/35 PSS's would be a nice match to those wheels.

Personally, I think two-tone is hideous on most wheels and these are no exception. To your question, gunmetal on infrared would look quite good, I think. Matte black, it is a bit "rough", and would change the image of your car. That said, if you want to stop washing it, and beat the hell out of it, matte black fits that look. But I think gunmetal would look great without being too "dark" or "rough".

I'm glad you noticed the similarities between these wheels and the stock CTS-V wheels. Now you know why I've been pursuing this so hard with Breyton and Forgestar.

I think 20's would look a little big. It would help if they made a couple sets and fit them to a V to post pics. For the money it would cost to build them, they will make it back when people actually see them on the car and know exactly what it will look like.

I disagree but everyone has different tastes. With a slight lowering and 20's i think the car looks awsome. The 20 fills the wheel well very nice and with the right tire just sets the car off. Look at tonytone's car and theres a guy with a silver v that had the xxr502's on it in a 20. Both those cars were a little lower than i like but the 20 inch wheel just looks right on the car. A little higher for both of them and there perfect in my eyes. But some people like the bigger tire look, so a 18/ or 19inch is for them with a little bigger tire. Last year there was a guy on the forums selling his stealth with 19's and the drop and wheel setup he had was really nice, and was the only setup smaller than the 20's that ive liked so far..........my .02

Just to be clear: they haven't mentioned 20" wheels. I was just asking in order to gauge the level of interest in them. If there were 10+ guys overwhelmingly in favor of 20" wheels, I probably would've written Forgestar to inquire about the possibility of 20" wheels.

Definitely NO on the 2 tone. Fuzzy, I'd absolutely go glossy gunmetal on your infrared. Whatever you choose, I want to meet up and see it in person...
