I finally got my Gunmetal gray Forgestar F14 wheels mounted and ready to go.
Huge thanks and kudos to Peter at Automotive Connoisseur Group for taking care of me. ACG is a class act and I will buy from them again.
If you've been paying attention you'll remember that ACG sent me Matte Black F14s originally when what I wanted all along were Gunmetal Gray. I mounted and took pictures of the black wheels to see if I dug them or not. I did not. But I posted pictures here.
Below are photos I took today of my car wearing the new Gunmetal Gray Forgestar F14s. Full specs:
Wheels:
Tires:
I never really could get the sun to come out, so these pictures are not great, but they show the look pretty well. I'm VERY happy with how it looks. Aggressive without looking like a drug-dealer's car...

Those wheels look great, good choice and decision over the black. 
I don't know about the sun but those pics are very nice and the car is very clean. Good job!

Looks awesome...
Excellent choice... I wasn't a fan of the black wheels either. How's the ride? Are the tires any nosier than the stock tires. I have the same tires on my car and I did notice more road noise than the stock tires.

They might be a little noisier, but I just went from my winters (Dunlops) to these so it's not a fair comparison.

These two shots really show the difference in the wheel & tire fitment from the OEM setup (top) and F14 (bottom).
To me it really gives the car a much tougher stance and the fatter rubber is clearly more befitting.

I love how they look on your car!

The gunmetal gave it a more classic look Personally I'd still go with 19" and satin/gloss black, but by looking at the other cars you own, I presume it is exactly what you were going for
