What you think of Baby Blue's Shoes???
 
Ok guys, give me some guidance. I'm going with the 19" Forgestar F14's with wide aggressive/flush offsets. Love the look and for the price, it's a no brainer. Reaching out for some feedback from the crowd as well. Here's a shot of a similar 996 that already has them in Matte Black, and had a chance to "TRY" to replicate the color of my Lapis Blue Metallic 4S. So, POLL is, what do you guys think? Are you for it, should I go for Gunmetal or Titanium??? Thanks.

Awful "EDITING" on my part....HA! But you get the gist.

I'd say gunmetal with your particular car color. Remember my comment about street wheels compared to track wheels. You go back towards stock size wheels for track. You want more rubber at the track and more wheel for show on the streets.

Yes - I remember Scott. I'm torn between the Matte and Gunmetals. I agree with the 18's for track use, you are absolutely right about the necessity of more rubber, just not sure how many times I will hit up the track per year given my schedule. Plus, I want to take advantage of the Toyo's I have on the Champion's already in 19". Unless I sell them both (wheels and tires as a package), I think I'm going with the 19's.........

I think either or looks good on your whip.

Thanks brother! I drove Baby Blue to work today, been quite some time since I did the daily commute. And looking at the Champions in the sun, made me fall in love with them all over again. I may seriously just pick up a set of 18's of the Forgestars for track use. HA!

I know Mick. Drove the car to work yesterday and fell in love with the Champions all over again. May still keep them.

Silver, chrome lips :) ADV5.1 :)

Saw your car on 50 on the weekend, then saw it again parked in RTC near the wine place. Nice.

sorry Gents but Jordan still owes a lot of money/wheels to 6 speed members and because of that ADV's are not permitted on 6 speed...

boochook Sep 22, 2010 10:59 AM

Oh - sorry about that Chuck. Didn't know that.

Hey Berk,

I say go with a brushed center and a polished lip with the blue paint. HRE, Fikse, I-forged, 360 Forged or the style you are looking at will all look great. I like a stepped lip over the reverse lip, but that's just me. Some guys like the ability to lay their a c-note on their wheel :D

hilarious....you know it Court....Who doesn't like to layer their C-note.

I'm talking to Dan at Wheel Doctor to see if he can fix them and paint the wheels. (the champions i mean) and may just pick up the extra set of 18" Matte Black Forgestars for track use.
