Default question about f14 forgestar wheels

The titanium powder coating that I have seen on a few black vettes is imo the best looking finish I have ever seen. This might be a deal breaker for me if I can't get that color. My question is has this color been discontinued? If it has, I wonder if I could get the machined finish. I am going for the natural look and from what I have seen, the only other light color is bright silver and that is just not going to look good.

Can someone let me know what colors I have to choose from?

Anyone?

I would consider gold to look good as well.

I am a fan of black... Maybe do black with a red pinstripe thats my favorite. But I am a little different than the typical Corvetteforum user

lol what is the average corvette forum user?

I think black wheels on your torch red looks awesome but I am not convinced black on black is my can of beer.

Sorry this has been a while but yes, the brought back the titanium finish. It is a "special" powdercoat not their standard so it's $40/wheel more.

Thanks, this is good news. Who is a sponsor dealer that can get me this color?

One more quick question, are their wheel offset measurements taken the same as speedline wheels?
