I found this during an image search but I have no idea whose car it is. The wheels seem to pair nicely with the flow of the car. I've heard good things about forgestar but would love to get some feedback on these wheels specifically.

I don't have the CF5V's, but I do have the CF5's. I know they are different, but I wanted to comment on my experience with Forgestar. I actually ordered the wheels through Howey Industries...they were great to do business with. They took half payment up front, then the other half when the rims were done. Took about 5 weeks. I have tried to contact Forgestar twice and have left messages and a call back number, but have never heard back from them. I ordered a extra rim later, took Forgestar 3 months for that one rim. Howey Industries customer service was great....Forgestar, not so much.

I got the hook up on wheels. You may/may not be able to get a better deal.

Saw that Forgestar has a new wheel they announced at SEMA F7S.2 on their facebook page.

Are they textured matte gunmetal? or smooth matte gunmetal? I've only seen photos of the textured ones. Looking forward to seeing them with tires mounted.

Smooth Matte Gunmetal. The textured looks like an orange peel. And I made a change in the order today due to Back Order problems. The Front will be 19x10 with Michelin PSS 275/40/19. Rear is 19x11 with 305/35/19. Hopefully mounted by end of October!
