Wheel photo'chops

Looking for 19-20" wheels for my Sterling Gray '13 GT,
I started my photochopping of rims against the car to see what I
might end up liking best.

Thoughts?

Forgestar F14's and a close second are the Niche Targas. Like both of them.

I like the Targa wheels myself of the choices provided. But I also think the factory Brembo wheels are better looking of any other wheel... Especially with Sterling Gray. I think a five spoke wheel design always looks best on a Muscle Car... But I like old school (Retro) type designs...

Targas look good. Hotchkis look a little fussy.

I just got rid of the Steeda option and replaced it with Ace Alloy Convex. I really like that look.

I also really like the Hotchkiss wheels, but they seem hard to clean, with all the little crevices in there.

I second the targas. The hotchkis are neat and you won't see them at all probably, but a little to crazy lol.

There's a lot going on with those Hotchkis, and like you said those would be a challenge to clean. Now that you threw those Ace wheels in the mix. Those look really sharp on your car.

Have you seen the CF10's from Forgestar they are similar to the ACE.

Out of those 4: F14's, Ace, Targa's would be my choice.

Are you thinking a staggered setup, or square?

No worries my friend. Get a Daytona wheel brush.
I have one of these, but the Pro version, which is probably a little bigger and softer. I use it on the inside of the wheels for the daily driver.

I vote Hotchkis, anything besides the Targas since they look too close to my Velgens :-P
