Velgen Split5 or CF5?

I am redoing my rear end and adding drag radials. Debating on getting new shoes too. 5 stars appeal to me because they look good and are easy to clean. Thinking of CF Forged CF5 or Velgin Split 5s. Have PP wheels currently. Car is black.

2010-2014 Mustang Velgen Split5 Wheels - LMR.com

Which to get? And in what color. (or stick with PP?) Advice please. Thanks.

CF5

Black or matte gray?

I'd go gray, was never a fan of black wheels.
Post a pic of your car, if you can.

Tough choice -- which wheel is lighter?

CF5 in gray..

I agree with the CF5.

Split5 looks better to me, but the CF5 would be easier to clean.

Thinking of going in different direction after seeing these. A local has these 9/11 front/rear and they look very nice. TSW Bathurst in gloss gunmetal.

^^That's a good look too.
I don't know how good the quality is on those wheels though.

+1 on TSW wheels. Not sure how their quality is.

Cause for concern? The Bathurst is rotary forged if that makes a difference.

From what I can tell, velgens are gravity cast while CFs are rotary forged as well. Unless I am missing something, Velgens are the lowest quality of the three.

Like I said, I wasn't sure. I remember TSW wheels for sale at K-mart back in the day. I remember them being a heavy "low budget" wheel back in the early 90s.
By the sounds of what you are saying, their quality has changed for the better.

Rotary forged is another name for flow formed. It falls between a thru cast wheel and a true forged wheel. Makes for a better wheel that is not going to cost you an arm and a leg to get.
