Default Thinking different wheels..

Hey guys, I am thinking about switching from my anthracite FR500s to something more unique and lighter overall. They will still be 18x9 or 18x10. I am looking at the Forgestar F14s http://www.americanmuscle.com/gunmet...18x9-0512.html or the Forgestar CF5's http://www.americanmuscle.com/gunmet...18x9-0512.html . Which do you guys think would look best on my car? I am leaning towards the F14's... this won't be for a few months. Oh yeah and they will be gunmetal.

I really like the CF5's personally. Was thinking about getting a set of 19's for my car.

I like the F14's would look good on it. The CF5's 5-spoke style doesn't really go too well on our 05-09 body style IMO. The AMR ones the AM carries are pretty similar to the 14's, cheaper too. Dont know their weight, they look good tho

Cf5 would get my vote. Never was a fan of the other pattern on the 05-09.
Funny...you took off the gt500 spoiler and I'm getting ready to put one on.lol

+1 on the CF5's! I am a little biased on the thick 5 spoke wheels. ;-)
Are you planning on keeping the FR500's?

2005Redfire6,

Hmm, this is a tough choice! I really like all three wheels you have listed(FR500, F14, CF5). This is going to be a very opinion based question, but my vote is the F14's ! Your car looks sick with the cowl hood and a perfect stance.

Let me know if you have any questions or some assistance!

- Dan

I think you are talking about the 10th anniversary wheels. I actually almost bought those before the FR500s, those are probably about the same weight as the FR500s since they are cast.


Thanks for the input so far guys, I am leaning towards the F14s so far still may have to get a photo chop done.


Kevin, I am selling the FR500s once I get new ones.

Here is a rough chop, Eddie.



I think the CF5s are a cleaner look.
