ForgeStar CF5 in Textured Gunmetal on W211 E55
Decided to make a little change to my wheels. I previously had 19" Forgestar F14's in gunmetal but now...

19" Forgestar CF5 in Textured Gunmetal

Enjoy!

(yes I know the car is dirty)

Wheels look great, but the tire/stance combo looks off. The rear tire looks way smaller than the front and much lower?

I think if you dropped the front a little bit more or raised the rear just a tad it might help.

The front fender is higher in the front than the rear making it look as though the back is lower and the tire, smaller. I measured and the car sits even. The corner balance has been done after the coilover conversion for to ~50/50 f/r weight distribution.

Thanks for all the compliments though. The textured finish is really unique. It was something I had seen years ago and always wanted to have a set of wheels with it.

And yes, that is one of two "Godzirra" cars that were in the bg.

I get that. What tires are you running F&R?

Looks great.

The car is sitting at an angle. Should take some more pictures of the car on flat ground.

I went with CF10.

paint your calipers something loud (blue, candy apple red, orange,lambo yellow, lambo green), with those wide 5 spokes it will make those wheels pop out.

Do you have a pic of your car with the Forgestar F14s in gunmetal? I'm curious how the gunmetal finish looks on an E55.

Thanks.

Car looks great btw.

I should have some. I'll post them later tonight when I'm home.

Also, thanks for the kind words.
