I was worried that the color itself would be too dark on an NBM. In the end I figured the gloss finish would make the wheel a little lighter in appearance, so I went with that. Having seen your pictures, I think either finish works well.
Thanks dude, the deep concave looks damn good on all four wheels. I'm kicking my *** over not doing that, but Tony convinced me that the normal concave was better for BBK clearance.

Im more of a fan of wheels with a lip, but those are very nice. Like the color...

Now it's time to replace the red "Trans Am" along the side w/ some gunmetal ones.
I have to agree with you! maybe even do the calipers in NBM...

Bad *** man. Gotta love Forgeline wheels. Some nice meat on those tires too!

Felix, could you do me a favor and snap a pic of the spoke to caliper clearance in the front with a measuring tape? I'm thinking about going with deep concave up front, but want to make sure my brakes will clear.

Those look outstanding. I really like the color choice; goes well with NBM.

Fyi, They are Forgestar not Forgeline.
Did you do the heater hose in the rear or stock isolators?

How do those tires hook? I just bought the same thing in 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 But don't have the wheels yet.

Personally, I don't think you could have made a better looking choice than those wheels and tires if you tried with all of your might!!

Now I know which rollers I want to get for my road racing setup.

I've never priced these out, they ARE less than most CCWs (the only other ones I've seen which appeal to me), correct??

I would love to know what you paid for them and who you got them through because I priced them through a company called Howieindustries.com priced me at $1350 w/free shipping. He said it would take 6 weeks to receive them. Is there a sponsor on this site I could buy them through?
