Damn, that looks badass. Nice choice on the deep concave, it really makes a difference on all the forgestar wheels. Definately one of the better rims I've seen on a Trans Am.

I wish they came polished but dont think so. You can do alot of things with black though. Gunmetal or matte black would be sweet.

Looks like these guys got a machined finish on the F14s...I wonder if I can get that on the CF5s.

EDIT: Emailed Tony about it, we'll see.

If I could get that finish I'd go CF5s. We'll see what he says. My F05s were like that on the wheel face, so maybe.

Correct Machined is discontinued. I was thinking of picking up some new rears, but my finish is no longer offered.

Before I got my Fikse I thought about buying unfinished F14s and sending them off to a chrome shop. They become less of an affordable wheel when you do that though so I just went as high end as I could afford.
