Hello all! I am considering a wheel upgrade on my black 01 Z, and wanted some opinions of those who did these two wheels - what looks better on a C5 Z06? I realize opinions will differ...I love the CF5's but the F14's look similar to the stock Z wheels and that's cool too... I have the C6 Z06 Red Calipers on my Z - so the less spokes on the CF5 would certainly show them off...
Also - what color? Black, Silver... if anyone has pictures, would love to see them and hear sizes and details!
I like the CF5
F14s are nice but a bit played out - very popular on many models for a long time
Look at the CF5V and CF10 as well, I think they go really well with the C5 lines and look 'the business'

Both wheels look great on a C5 so it's hard to go wrong, if you like them. My personal preference would be the CF5's but only by the slimmest of margins.
Matte Gunmetal looks really good, against a Black car. The Brushed finish looks even better, IMO, but that's an expensive option.

There are a LOT of threads dedicated to wheels, and even some dedicated to strictly Forgestars. Your best bet is to do a quick search using the keywords "Forgestar", then use "F14", then use "CF5". These are very popular wheel choices, so there are many, many pics posted.
I always wanted the CF5 then found a deal on my F14s from a friend. I love them, but still sometimes want something different. I've grown to like the M14 a lot too, and if I decided to order new that would probably be what I ended up with. That being said, the F14s are still great, just a little over used as already stated
Both of the Forgestars you're looking at are great looking wheels, particularly on a C5. I have the CF5s. All things considered equal between them, the CF5s will take less time to clean.

Love the Red Z's - looks awesome with those wheels!

That looks so good - I'm thinking this color would look great with Magnetic Red as well. I like the center caps too.
