NOT BAD AT ALL!
I just wish there was more "concave" going on!

BTW, I like them a lot.
Wheels only.

Wheels only for that price. The M/T's list for $300 a pop at that size lol.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I'm 17 and this is my first car so I really appreciate it. The car is lowered on a Eibach pro kit, but the tires are overall 1" taller so it's technically only lowered less then an inch. I wish it sat a little lower but I'll live.

Also I forgot to mention, when I first got the rims I recieved the wrong color. I was sent textured gunmetal which looked BADASS! I almost kept them but I wanted the black/black look. I called Nineball and he immediately sent me UPS shipping labels to ship them back to him the next day. Forgestar rush ordered me a set and I recieved the correct color in a few more weeks. Had to wait a bit longer then I anticipated, but the customer service was great, and I feel it was deffinitley worth the wait.

As i've been driving around town this week i've been scoping out places to do a bit better of a shoot. Hopefully by the end of the weekend!

Ha so your the one who got those. He shot me an email saying he had a set in stock. I do like the gunmetal, but I agree black/black on your car is better.

I was thinking textured gunmetal but when you guys brought up getting them done like the LE wheels. It really got me thinking..do you guys know if they do custom paint or would have to get them done like that myself.

Hit up Nineball, he would know. I feel like Ive seen a two tone F14 somewhere before, maybe on Camaro5.

edit: heres what I remember seeing..

Probably have to get it done yourself. Problem is forgestar doesn't make the brushed finish anymore. Just give Nineball a pm.

Brushed titanium I believe it was called. They don't offer it anymore though.

His our are the brushed ones that are discontinued. I never understood why they did that, seems like it's a finish that would look good on almost any color car. I know you can order these with a bare finish but at no discount then ones that are powdercoated.

edit: beat me to it Mike.

Ha. And I also don't know why they discontinued it, it was the best all around finish they had.

I don't know why either. I got on the DV8 website and noticed that I didn't see it. What color/finish would be closest to polished?

Nothing is really closest to polished, since their all powder coated. Brushed titanium would of been the closest I guess. When I was highly considering F14s I was gonna have them sent out for chrome.

Wow! Those wheels look sweet in the pic you posted mag62989. I might just go with silver or textured gunmetal.

^That's what I was shipped the first time. They did look incredibly badass but not quite the look I wanted.
