what wheels to get
i want something different than your typical motorsport wheels. i want something around $1500 range. must be concave or deep lip. i do prefer all black look. post up some pictures and some recommendations, even some photoshops too. don't post about how chrome/polished will look better please.
i was considering forgestar f14's with aggressive concave, but i don't like how curved the spokes are....
same forgestars on a electron blue vette (sorry to the owner of this car for posting up)

From: Bugs Bunny should'a made a left turn here
i had a baby boy about 5 months ago so all my former play money has been turned into his play money.
i know that the F14 has just been recently released in a 19x12 size so i would be able to re-use my current 345/30/19 tires which would save a ton of money vs buying a new set of 345s for a 20x12 F14 wheel.
maybe around tax return season.

I'm running 19x11s and they are flush with the fenders. Be careful with the 19x12s, at least check the offset first.

the 19x12 setup i am looking at should fit exactly as the wheels i use now sans spacers.

I just stumbled on these wheels, if you're a fan of HRE P40 monoblocks you see the C6's guys running you need to take a look at THESE
I can't be entirely sure of the site nor the price listed but if it's true...dang. You'll be getting some very nice looking wheels for a great price. Not to mention the site carries some pretty good brands you may be interested in.

no, not on the fence at all.

I think you mentioned that you were expecting on a previous post way back when...congrats on the little bambino! I'm waiting for qwickz06 to release his fender flare on the forum, and if they look as good as I think they will I'll be needing a set of fat wheels myself. I've been researching zforce wheels with c5 offset for the front and c6 z06 offset for the rear, I'm thinking that would work with flares but not 100% sure.
