Love Black Graphite.

So after hearing some horror stories about black graphite F14's I decided to risk it and take the plunge. I got 20x9 with 255 front and 20x10.5 with 295 rear. All I can say is the wider toyo proxes 4 tire = HOOKUP. Absolutely no wheel spin or wheel hop. I also just installed my steeda CAI and 91 tune and still no spin or hop in any gear. Sorry for crappy cell pics, waiting for my camera to show up.

http://howeyindustries.com/ You can get the rims made in any offset you want. I paid about 2k for the rims and another 800 for the tires. They spray the rims by hand so I guess some of the earlier batches had some QC issues where not all the rims matched finish wise. Also a lot of the pictures show the rims with the light not directly on them. When the light shines dead on they look like a hyper silver. I actually love the way the rims shift color based on the lighting.

Email Paul at sales@howeyindustries.com with any questions.

They actually turned out pretty good. I do wish they were just a little darker but not bad at all. Glad you are happy with them.

Looks great! Next time you but tires get some 305's in the back and 275's in the front. Would look alot meaner. I want some 19X9.5 in the front and 19X11 in the back. Do they make those? Better question is do you think itll fit lol?

Edit: Oh snap they do lol. They have the 19X9semi concave and the 19X11 deep concave. Thats awesome! Now I need to find out what offset and what not will work on my car.

The best setup in my opinion would be 20x9.5 deep concave with 275/35 nitto 555 on the front and then 20x10.5 deep concave with 305/35 nitto 555r on the back. Now that would look sweet. I still have not seen anyone do that yet.

Looks great. I'd prefer a matte black but that's just me. I've been thinking about getting these in the future to replace my saleens.
