Might have screwed up rim choice.

So I have always loved the F14's. So I finally decided to get them. I was shopping around and saw them in the new graphite black finish. I was instantly drawn to them and made the purchase. Now I am wondering if I might have screwed myself for future mods due to the finish. The mat black finish makes adding stripes and splitters pretty **** easy. But I am not sure if matte black stripes/body pieces will mesh with graphite black.

Yea I guess after looking at them more closely, they are not as shiny as I thought they were. Should still work out well I believe. Thanks.

The forgestars are really nice wheels. They got them on AM and I've been tempted but I do like my saleens and would rather put that money elsewhere.

Love these rims. Can you post some more pics of them on your car? I'm contemplating the matte finish to the piano finish.

Thanks

Very Very Nice! If you decide you don't like them, I have some slightly used brembo brake package wheels, I'd love to trade you. NO REALLY!

I am still deployed I have the rims and tires waiting for me to come back in 2 weeks. Trust me as soon as they are on I will take all kinds of pics from all diff angles. Still trying to find black tuner 17mm lugs for these things. I can seem to find everything on google except these.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news if you were looking for a darker wheel. I have been wanting this color too ever since I saw it. I am on a few other boards and noticed a couple people ordered that wheel and it is not nearly as dark as thought. Here is a thread from the camaro forum. Needless to say I won't be ordering this color.

Those look sweet, light or dark.
