Forgestar F14's in Carbon Fiber
What do you guys think about the F14's in carbon fiber? Has anybody seen them in person or on an e55? I was thinking about how they would look.

I believe it is about $800 extra for all four wheels. It is an overlay which gives the carbon fiber look, and to the point of blackbenzz most aftermarket items sold are not true carbon fiber.

Nah pimpjuice, I'm not loaded! I wish though, I think I will just get the piano black unless someone can convince me matte is better looking! I have tried to dig up pictures of a silver e55 with the matte black F14's, but with no success.

The matte looks great. My question is, if I have gloss black grille, emblems, and everything else would they look out of place or good? What are your opinions?

Okay, I think piano black will be my choice because I know it will match everything else including the glossy carbon fiber pieces!

Honestly, don't waste your money on that option. It's just water photo transfer and isn't that nice. That finish was really just a style exercise more than an option to sell to people. I don't recall what the option is costwise, but I remember it being VERY costly. No point in doing that. You're better off putting that money toward tires and have some money left for a gas tank

Hey. I know the size for the rear is 19x10, but for the front will a 19x9 work and are there any benefits over a 19x8.5? I need to know this before buying so if anyone could help that would be awesome!
