We were trying, but the photo was of low quality and resolution. We'll try something to give you an idea, but I'm not too sure I want to post my abominations here.

I'll shoot you a PM with the photoshop. Even with the Matte Black F14s, you CAN'T say they don't look good on the ride!

Sounds good!

oh they do..I just am still warming up to the idea of the black..as I would normally be a chrome guy. So Piano black is what I think...but, again I want to check cause once I buy them..well then they have to go on..so, want to be sure.

I appreciate all your help!

Thank you for the kind words! We're glad to be on board and helping our Porschephiles!

Wow....that look great! I think you're right!

The Piano Black will have a better contrast to the Vapor finish versus the Matte Black versions.

Do it! You know they're going to look great!

Anyone use these as their track wheels? How durable are they compared to forged wheels like Volk, BBS, HRE? The weight of these are definitely comparable if not better.

Are these made in a similar fashion as the OZ Alleggeritas?

These wheels are made in the same fashion as many of the high-end wheel manufacturers. With over 30 years of combined experience in the automotive wheel industry Forgestar Performance Wheels has bridged the gap between forged wheels and cast wheels. Forgestar Performance Wheels is proud to introduce the world's first one piece lightweight custom flow formed wheel lineup.
Flow Forming is a production procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. The pressure and turning then force the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim. During Flow Forming, the rim actually "flows" down to create the full rim width. During Flow Forming, pressure applied to the cast rim actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and impact values become similar to those of a forged rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel. Our technological breakthroughs in heat treating allow us to increase dent resistance without having to make the wheel heavier.

Here's the test data showing load rating tests which puts these wheels at the top of the echelon for cast wheels:

They both have a clear coat finish to help with cleaning so they're about the same.

You have a PM coming your way!

do you have a pix of the piano black and matte black next to eachother? I was always under the impression that matte black did not have a clearcoat finish to it. So imagining they would look very similar.
