Good advice.

Op those new wheels look badass

I think it looks good both ways but I would probably powdercoat the ccw's.

I appreciate all the sentimentality for the CCW's, but you guys are missing the biggest point, I want to move up to 19's, and they are 18's. I've pretty much made my mind up that I'm going with the Forgestars, I'm just waiting to hear back from Nine Ball about pricing and finish options.

Just my opinion, but your car looks great as is and will look great with the other rims as well
I would understand your point if I were switching to another polished wheel with a lip, but these are totally different in my opinion. Yes, they are both 5 spoke, but the forgestars are deep concave style with no lip and are graphite, which really gives the car a totally different look. Plus, you can just never go wrong with 5 spoke wheels imo.

You going to go deep concave on all 4 wheels? Or just the rears?

Was just about to ask the same question.. When I was looking at Forgestars I really wanted to do deep concave on all 4. You could run a 19x9.5 up front deep concave with either a 19x10 or 19x11 in the rear also deep concave. If you need good pictures of the concave I know Tran has some good examples.

BTW, here is what the standard concave and deep concave is on my car:

Front is a 18x9, comes out to 2" of concavity (is that a word):

Well, I guess that's your opinion, but I think you will disagree when you see the finished product.
