I'm quite happy with my F14's. I've run them at COTA, MSR Houston, and MSR Cresson 3.1. I got the same as archfarseer but in a satin black (in between gloss and matte). They aren't as light or as good looking as Brad's fully forged BC's but they are an inexpensive way to run cheaper 18" R compound tires. I don't quite understand peoples preoccupation with offset since I think that its up to the wheel maker to ensure they fit my car. I just asked for wheels for a C7 GS and they fit great with plenty of clearance and no rubbing issues. With that said I think the offsets are listed on my paperwork but I don't have it handy at the moment.

Off topic: I cracked a brake rotor (to the edge and all the way through!) so I won't be doing anymore track days till probably March. I need rotors, pads, oil change, and I just won't have time to prep the car for track work for a couple months. My next "for sure" event will probably be with Chin at MSRH in April, everything else will be by ear.

Brad sorry just saw this. I will be at MSRH this upcoming weekend (PCA) with the vette. I will also be there next weekend with NASA, however I will be in the FR-S since I'm doing my first TT. Please say hi when you see me!

I do not have them as they were custom spec'ed. I can put you in touch with the shop if you're interested.

Sorry if I missed it somehow, but what tire sizes (with aspect-ratios) are you running OP? thanks.

Sounds good. If I can't find you you can always knock on the door of the motorhome. I am not sure where I will park it. Might be over by the skid pad. Shouldn't be hard to find.
