Talking Forgestar CF5's are on the Trans Am!

These are 18x10 +42 in the front and 18X11 +43 in the rear. I will get some more pictures this week in the daylight. I was running out of light in these.

I did have to hammer the rears and tweak the panhard just a bit, but these fit like a glove with the 315/35/18 Hoosiers on.



PICS DOWN THE PAGE A WAYS.

Oh damn, I was looking for some RPM505's but I think you just changed my mind!
Post up some side shots
Where did you get them from?
Are they the semi or deep concave?
I dont know if I would go that big on my car but might look at a 18x9 & 18x10 setup.

Thanks guys. Like I said, I ran out of daylight. I will get some giant pics for you guys hopefully tomorrow morning. I heard the forecast was showing for freezing rain in my area...

Prices for the wheels start anywhere from about 1400-1600 for 18's I believe. I got a great deal from a part out on here. Worth it though IMO if you get the right offsets. I know that some of you were wanting a flush look. I have to say, these are about as flush as I would want to go.

Looks like you could run the 6-Piston Brembo CTS-V brakes up front with those wheels...
