Default Wow

Very nice choice, and way to step out there and do something different.
The tuning fork styles of wheels look great on camaro's.

After looking at the pics again, these wheels look better than I previously thought. And the light weight can't be beat. I might get a set after all.

I forgot to weigh just the wheels, but the weight sounds real close.

Glad your having second thoughts. And it really can't be stressed enought that those pics I took do them no justice.

I'll be going with either silver or gunmetal. I'm not a huge fan of gunmetal wheels with NBM, but Forgestar's gunmetal seems lighter than others.

Silver:



Gunmetal:



I'm just not sure if the gunmetal wheels will go well with my CF splitter, and the CF diffuser I'll be getting. It might be too much "gray" on the lower part of the car.

I like them more than rpms cause of extra width, less cause of no lip
