Gloss Gunmetal Forgestar F14 on NBM Trans Am - Pictures After a couple of months of waiting I finally have my new set of Forgestar F14's installed on my car. Since I could not find pictures for this wheel/color combination when I was doing my initial research, I thought I would share some pictures of what I ended up with.
Here are the details:
Forgestar F14 in Gloss Gunmetal
18x10 +42 Deep Concave all around
Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires
Front - 275/35-18
Rear - 285/35-18
I was planning to run 295's in the rear but apparently the Pilot Super Sports are not made in that size for 18in wheels.
The car is lowered with Strano springs.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Needless to say, I am very happy with how they turned out.
No, I did not have to do the BFH mod. The wheels and tires fit without modification, and I have not seen any sign of rubbing or interference in the week since I had them installed.
Thanks. The car was lowered using Strano springs and Koni shocks.
I saw your pictures in the other thread; looking very good. I think we ordered them at around the same time. When I was trying to decide on the color I went back and forth between the textured and gloss versions.
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.

Definitely something different in a good way, did you do the bfh mod?

looks great and those rims look like 19's for some reason , i like those . Only thing i woulda done is a 285 35 18 all around so be able to swap them front to back but other than that , i love it .
