I have to admit the Forgestars don't look that good. Is have some and like my grand sport wheels much better.
Forgestars are cheap though if you're on a budget then they're a good buy.
If not get something much nicer.

The nice thing about the Forgestar F14's is that you can get them in the stock 18/19 sizes with better offsets than the stock wheels. And of course they are reasonably priced at around $1600-1700 for an entire brand new set.

Forgestar in Matte Black. Not sure where all the negativity comes from on Forgestar. You don't have to spend big $$$ to get a good product. I have not had any issues with the wheels. I will say that I do like the black wheels on my car with the carbon fiber accents but there are times the black wheels get lost in pictures. Not so much in person but in pictures if the sun isn't shining on them. I have considered a brushed aluminum tint coat to brighten the car up some but will stick with these for now. It is a tough choice but go with what you want not what others say.

Lighten up, Francis. Having an opinion or like for a style of aftermarket wheel is not a negative. Not everyone has to like what you like, last time I checked. It is what it is. Some of us don't like fat chicks either. Keep on cruiz'n.

GS oem wheels
I am not for sure going with an aftermarket wheel. I was just curious of what some you guys would choose. I also like the look of the factory wheels. I actually just pulled a photo off the net of a similar GS as I actually don’t have the car yet it should be in route soon. Here is an actual photo of the car. Also the white wheels would be ballsy lol

I think i like the silver best on your car. I really like the bronze burst but can't picture how it would look on your car. Edit to say i'm not crazy about the stock wheels, think i like the Forgestars better.

My 2011 GS has a set of OEM Z06 'Spyder' wheels on it now, but for drag racing, I am thinking about installing a set of Forgestar F14 Drag wheels on the rear in the 17" x 11" size.
Then mount a set of Hoosier Drag Radials on them in the 315 x 35 / 17" size.

Another vote for black here, or silver 2nd. As mentioned above, gray or gunmetal might seem monochromatic. Have to see it in person I guess.
The idea stated above of having a local powder coater do the wheels is also a good option. Forum vendor GetYourWheels can also offer a number of finishes beyond what Forgestar offers. I bought my custom finished Cray spiders through them in 2016 and had a good experience.
