New Shoes
Got my first glimpse today of my new wheels and tires, I went with the Forgestar cf5 19-11 rear 18-9.5 front Textured gunmetal,with Toyo R888 305/30/19 and 275/25/18, as soon as they are mounted I will update, I love the F-14 but everyone has em, I Wanted something different.

I for one will be very interested to see how it looks. Hoping it doesn't look washed out along side the silver paint of the car.
i love aftermarket rims. Wish there was a way to just change shoes every six months.

I ordered the textured gunmetal cause it looked darker than regular gunmetal at least on the pics I looked at, but the photos I was sent from the vendor look lighter than I excepted so we will see.
The wheels ship today and Need For Speed has been very professional with everything.
Can't ask for better service from Alex and the team they have.
My car is Pewter so a little darker
Fingers crossed

I think that's gonna look great! My only reservation is the textured finish. My fear is the crevasses holding brake dust and being very hard to get fully clean.

I think the textured Gunmetal is gonna be fine, I was worried it was too light till I saw em.
