Give me a call tomorrow and we can talk about exactly what you are looking for. We would be happy to have you come by the shop and take a look, and give the guys on the forum a report.

Most of the Corvette sets that have gone out have been 18x11/18x13 track wheels...those guys don't take a lot of photos.
We have been completely covered up, but I'm hoping to find time to take pics very soon.

Roger that, thanks. I'm not in a hurry, with ice and snow on the roads for another five months or so.
I was also wondering if you guys offer wheel / tire packages with TPMS's?? I do not have anyone around my neck of the woods that I trust to mount and balance.

We do. The CG ZR1 pictured above was ordered with Michelin slicks mounted and balanced with TPMS.

Hi Daniel, Those F10 RT's are a work of art...and that manufacturing video & your company history is really great to see....I know where I'll be buying my next set of wheels.
Question, I just bought new Finspeed 2-piece front & rear rotors (from CF member Lee Shuang) for use with the stock C6Z06/GS (pbr) calipers, is there a bedding-in procedure for these that I should adhere to, & are the stock GM (Ferodo) padlets appropriate for use with these rotors? I only do a couple hpde's/year, & bought them primarily for weight savings & longevity.
Edit: I just found this older post from another CF member...is it still correct? ;
"Finspeed sent me a bedding procedure and this is what they recommend for the Coleman rotors:
3-5 stops from 20-30 mph
3-5 stops from 50-60 mph
3-5 stops from 80-100 mph
let cool to ambient temperature"

Thanks so much guys.. its very honorable to be apart of the wounded warrior project. I'm disabled myself after 11 years and to many deployments!!!
This year I'm giving rides to fellow disabled soldiers at High Plains Raceway in Colorado as a way to feel the rush again.. I hope it can help wounded vets feel good again..

Looks like someone got a new set of F14's to go with their F10's! 
I'm seriously debating a set of F11's or F18's for my self as a second set of track wheels. Just trying to work out in my head if the cost difference between these and good old CCW's is worth it. The big issue is that I know if I pick up 1 set I'm going to end up buying a second set so that I can swap between them.

This set of 18x11 and 18x13's is finished with matte black ceramic, and is heading to a ZR1 north of the border:

Can you post some close up pics of the face of those?
On a side note I have to say that every time I see shots of your wheels they look really sharp, compliments! The one thing though is on your site all that you have displayed is solid models. I know that when you built the site you had just launched your wheel line so you probably did not have a lot of finished versions done but now that you are in production you might want to consider updating each of the individual wheel pages with pictures of the finished product as you do them. While the solid models are nice, they just do not have the same shal we say "impact" as seeing the real thing. Just a suggestion!
Also what's your up-charge for bead blasted and black anodized finish?

Thank you for the kind words. It seems from your questions that you may have some tech knowledge and know a bit about machining, if so, you know how much more goes into what we do.
The image changes are on the short list, along with a gallery page...just trying to find the time.
