Default Forgestar CF5s are on!

Finally got my Forgestar CF5s mounted on my WS6. Specs are 18x10 +42 all around with 285/35 Nittos.

Enjoy!

Are those deep concave? Did you buy through a vendor here? I’ve always thought black wheels would look good on my Quasar Blue ‘94 Camaro, and I’ve considered the CF5, but it seems like a lot of times black wheels just disappear.

They look great on red. I think the CF5s are perfect for the Firebirds. I may be biased though haha.

They look pretty good to me. My car is a Quasar Blue '94 hard top with limo tint, black mirrors, black top etc. I need wheels and tires, but I've never had black wheels. It's hard not to think black wheels would look good on my car, but sometimes the detail seems to disappear with black wheels. I think I've actually spoken to Sam about Forgestar wheels, but it's probably been a couple of years. Looks like some kind of sale is going on right now.
