Picking a new set of rims.

[T3naci0usT]

Im torn between Rovos Pretorias (Gloss Black or Gunmetal) or Forgestar F14s (Bronze Burst)

I was wondering what your experiences with these rims are, and your opinions are.

Thanks

I have no idea what either wheel looks like. Any pics of the wheels or cars with them installed already?

Yeah. That might be helpful. Lol

Bronze Burst Forgestars

Rovos

 

[Zemedici]

I'd go with forgestar as it seems everyone and their mother puts Rovos on these cars

Can you get Forgestars in an 18?

 

[T3naci0usT]

Yeah they don't come in a 17 actually. I am just not sure about bronze on a TR. What do you guys think?

 

[roy_1031]

They both look good but I agree on the bronze not looking as good on TR.

I was thinking about doing something different, but that may be a little to different

Forgestars ftw. Not a fan of rovos at all. Plus from what I heard forgestars are a quality wheel

 

[T3naci0usT]

Yeah I have heard that as well. I am looking for something that won't break the bank, but is lighter, and a little different from my current 03 replicas.

I've had Forgestar F14's in gunmetal for ~3 years and love every minute of it. They fit the car perfectly.

Maybe its personal preference, but I dont like either of those without a deep dish... kinda seems like the poke out too far.

I guess I'd have to see them on the car and in person. Out of the two pictures you posted, I prefer the top.

 

[T3naci0usT]

I probably going to do a super deep dish. Which looks really cool.

Ugh is this black wheel trend ever going to end? I see all these new cars on the dealer lot with them too.

I think it works on certain colors. But some like redfire metallic or sonic blue end up making the paint look dull if that makes sense.

I just ordered 18x9 and 18x10 forgestar f14s in gunmetal. It's going to be 10 weeks before I get them though

 

[T3naci0usT]

I actually wasn't going to go with a gloss black wheel again. I have that right now, and I want something different it was just as an example. Also, sounds like you are in it for the long haul buddy.

 

[Iamchris]

Hmm, I have always thought black on sonic blue looks better than chrome.
As far as those two wheels, I think the first pic looks better.

I would stick with something typical though, honestly either Saleen or Cobra for an 03.

Unless you step up to forged wheels, then any of the mainstays. I love the way CCW classics look on a Mustang but they suck to clean. A nice 5 spoke would be better.

 

[JeremyAlan]

OP- to answer your earlier question: I think bronze on TR would be a perfect match. Here they are on a Nissan.

Edit- those are super dished in the rear too

The Forgestar wheels are a great wheel. I have a set of the F-14's in piano black on my 03. I originally had them done in gunmetal, but once I got them on the car the color just didn't wow me. So I had them redone in the gloss black, much better! I've been considering selling them. They are 19x11 +26 offset deep concave and 19x9.5 deep concave +26 offset. Tires are Yokohama Advan Ado8r's 295/30/19 and 255/35/19 nitrogen filled. Also have 2 17x10 F-14's in the same gloss black mounted with Hoosier 28/10/17's for Dragstrip use. Whole setup is mint. Less than 500 miles on the street setup, and probably no more than 10 passes on the Hoosiers. If interested I can send pics.

You can have the CCW and a 5 spoke.....of course, I don't know if I'd ever categorize these as "easy" to clean/polish, but I do suppose they're easier than the classics LOL

I have the Rovos Pretoria in satin black. I only bought them because every wheel I wanted was on backorder, or they were forged and simply out of my price range. They look a little weird in pictures, but in real life i've grown to really like these wheels. I've gotten a few compliments on them, and I haven't had them on the car for very long. The quality seems good so far.

I'll post some pics below
