The forgestars are sweet. Can you get them with a plain centercap?

How do the wheels sit up front in the wheel well? Are they flush or do they stick out some? I would be running a spacer to get big brakes behind them and I dont want them to stick out too far.

They sit flush and if you're lowered they should tuck in a bit so a spacer should be fine.

From pictures the spokes look like they turn inward were a caliper would sit. Everyone swears that the deep dish design wont work with CTS-V brakes. Is it that close that a spacer wouldnt even do the trick?

I do like the RPMs but I really want something in chrome and I agree with everyone on here chrome in mesh wheels is too much. Plus a BBK wont be seen with a mesh wheel. I wish I wasnt back and forth everyday lol.

Chrome is a must. I find my stock WS6 wheels much harder to keep clean than my old chrome Z06 wheels plus I love the look. Frank any particular reason your moving to 9.5 up front or do you just want a 2nd set of rears for the track?
