Forgestar F14 on C63?
I don't know if the design suits the C63. What do you guys think?

My car will be OB. Do I go with Piano black or Matte Black?
The wheel resembles or is a copy of the BMW CSL wheel. I have those on my 335 currently.
I hate lip. I like concave. Forgestar says the rears are really concave with a +50 offset. I am not sure if I can believe that. My current 335 wheels have a +33 offset and aren't as concave as I would like them to be. The fronts with a +45 don't really look concave at all.
Opinions? Other options?

Forgestars are decent budget 1-piece flow formed wheels.
Here's a better image to see the concavity. This set is for a 204.
Make sure you get the new centercaps though. The old ones look horrible.

No - they're a newer tech; less costly than true forging, but similar characteristics (excellent strength/weight ratio). "High-end" forged wheels cost ~3-4x more for similar sizes, but are generally regarded as the best cost-no-object manufacturing method for wheels.
