Those are awesome! do you mind if I save and share them on my facebook page?
Did we wind up talking at the event? My brother in law and I were both pretty brain dead by the time we got to RA as we'd been up the last 48 hours getting the LS7 swapped into the car and then driving straight to lingenfelter to get tuned, loading up as soon as it was tuned and drove straight to RA.

Share away, brother. 
We didn't get to talk. I was there supporting my friend Chris Jacobs with the Speedway White C5Z. We were hanging by Danny Popp and Randy Johnson for most of the day.

Heres a great setup for anyone looking to re-use OEM sized 17/18" tires with on a set of F14s!
We built the set in 17x9/18x10 so that they would accept the OEM Tire sizes. Originally we were planning on doing 18x9.5 in the rear to match OEM sizes but we bumped it up to the 10" rear to get the deep concave, and the 275 rears still fit square with no stretch on the 10s!

Man that looks good......well done! I have the same fenders coming, hopefully in the next couple weeks I keep coming back to these F14s, except it would be full polished/clearcoat and either 19/20 or 18/19 set up. I prefer the 19/20 look.....except you're limited to like three tires if you wanna run a 345 out back. Off the subject, but did you put the stripes on the hood or remove them all??

Heres a gorgeous color combo on our customer's C6 Z06 running Satin Bronze CF10s in 19x10/12
This finish reminds me a lot of the Volk bronze

Heres ColinG's C5 from the UK we set up with a set of F14s in Gloss Black!
After a 4 month wait they arrived in the UK last weekend and the rubber went on a couple of days ago. Forgestar F14 18/19 set up which I sourced from Jason at Get Your Wheels, what a great vendor.
Wheels are 9.5x18 on the front with 265/35/18s and rears are 11x19 with 305/30/19s. Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric A3s (non rf) all round and so far so good, much quieter than my old tyres and great grip in the dry, haven't been out in the wet yet.

Got the wheel and tire package ordered today...guess I'm part of this thread now.
Dude, if you ever get the Volk Mag Blue dialed in...I may have to do a set that color. I saw you mention Volk bronze above and made me think of it. I had a white hatch with mag blue te37's...dayum I loved them. While you're at it, make forgestar do a TE37 concave wheel...MY GOD...I'd be all over that like flies on rotten horse sh*t!!!

Anyone interested in a set?!

Received my wheels Friday just in time to do a season opening autocross in Cam-S. Thanks Jake. I went big on rims and tires as this is a specific autocross setup. Sticks outside the fenders an inch but that was the plan.
Specs
Front: Forgestar F14 Gunmetal 18x11 +54mm with BFG Rival S 315/30/18
Rear Forgestar F14 Gunmetal 18x12 +54mm with BFG Rival S 335/30/18
Some light rubbing on inner fender by the tire under heavy cornering on rear with -1.5 deg rear camber. After first event was over I have adjusted to -0.5 deg rear camber, taken a test drive, and it seems to be clear. I have not modified the rear inner fender. The clearance on the inside is as tight as you will ever get. When the car is up on a lift with wheels free the rear wheel will interfere with the brake duct when fully extended down, but looks fine otherwise. Front camber is -2.5 deg.
Thanks KlodKrawler05 (Brad) for sharing his setup before I bought mine.

Heres a neat Before/After shot of Colin's C5!
Thanks all. I am so pleased with this latest update, I've now had a chance to drive it a bit more and I must admit I wasn't sure if the ride quality would degrade by going up a size but there is very little difference (if any).
It's now just over a year since I bought the car and it has been a great journey so far, the interior upgrade and the wheels have transformed the car although I am sure there will be more mods to come.
How she looked the day I got her....
And how she looks now, this is probably my favourite pic of the car.

Those look awesome on your car. I bought my F 14's from Jason also, he's the best. I would probably also like something else on my center caps. The F is ok, but maybe someone will post pictures of different center caps available in that size.
p.s...wanted to add that I like the look with the new black wheels and black out kit on the lights! It makes the car look bad a$$
