bonefish Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 In a quest to try to be a little different..I found these wheels. Similar to the 2011 wheels but, on an 09..and in piano black(shiny) other than matte. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Handler Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I like them. Who makes them and what sizes do they come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09KR0058 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 On a 1 - 10 scale, I'd say about an 8.316. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelTownStang Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Definitely unique. They look good with your car (color). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonefish Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Thanks all! They are different and really I am silver or chrome wheel guy but, I may give them a whirl. They are made by Forgestar....They are Forgestar F14's. They come in 18, 19 and 20..and various finishes. Found them on 6speedonline forum.

So what size and offset did you choose? 20x9.5 and 20x11 maybe? How about tires too? We want to know all the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08 Mustang Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I think they will look really good on your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonefish Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 20x9/20x10 is what I would go if I do it. Not doing anything yet...gotta get the money. JUst doing early recon to see what I like. I gotta say..I still really favor the super shelbys. I was looking at these vs. shelby's last night...and I LOVE the shelby. The black wheel is still growing on me..as it really seems to play the car down...where as the chrome brings it up. Plus I can get the Shelby's in a package deal ready to mount from a vendor...where as the above wheel I have to bring in, order tires, tpms then go get them mounted and balanced. Maybe be small but, I know me..I'll want to put them on immediately. I so want 20's.!!! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enormous Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I think they look great in 20 on your car. My preference is in matte over the gloss anyday, but that is just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the 2011 wheels but, on an 09..and in piano black(shiny) other than matte. What do you guys think? I'm assuming you photoshopped those onto the car??? They look great on your color car. I'm not a black wheel fan, but they look good. Have you thought about the staggered GT4's with black centers from AmericanMuscle, since you like those, I'm just sayin'...they fit the Brembos.

Yep photoshopped to get an idea of how the looked. I am not a black wheel fan either but, I am thinking about it..and it is kind of growing on me. They should fit over the Brembo's....so no worries there. Not a fan of the GT4's....thanks though. I am open to ideas. I still really like the Alcoa's (Super Shelby's). I may still go that way...trying to decide so, when the cash comes in I can move quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Snake Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 One of the guys on the 2010-11 section has a set of these on his 2010 GT500.. Think he's running 20x9 & 20x11's, look similar to the 11's SVT pp wheels. I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthLord Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Only a matter of time before the 11's SVT wheel will be availabe from Ford. I'd wait if your looking for a set they will come up.. http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=755cPath=85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonefish Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Realy was not going for the 2011 look but, I know these are simliar. Not sure which way to go yet.....still looking to see what else might look good..that is not on a lot of cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonefish Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 They look good but, the more I think about it I think I want the Super Shelby's in Chrome. Just can't see the black wheels...well at least until I see them in person on the car....ahh decisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zporta Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 i think the forgestars would look sick on your color... I am starting to get swayed toward the super snakes as well... i saw them on my color and they look sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am starting to get swayed toward the super snakes as well... i saw them on my color and they look sweet They only issue I have the Forgestars is that they look like the 2011 wheels so, everyone starts saying oh you copied the 2011. Plus that means alot more of them out there which I don't want. There are plenty of SuperSnakes around to I assume however not near me that I noticed..hell I don't even see alot of Shelby's...maybe just out when I am not..LOL! So I see your in MD...where at? Also LOVE your color combo. That was my number 1 choice...but, could not find it. I tried for months...and then went to choice 2 which was a tie between vapor/black and orange/black. You should come out to a meet or something..or maybe you have and I have not been there...LOL! I plan on hitting Mt.Airy Jimmy Cone meet this weekend on Saturday and then Burtonsville Sunday morning at the Starbucks or close by. Not sure where it is exactly but, it supposed to be around there...then to McLean, VA for Katies Cars and Coffee. Now..weather please hold out for me!!

zporta Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 i live in baltimore for the time being. Will be married in a little over a year and then moving back into HOCO. I live in ellicott city for my whole life till about 2 years ago. I dont see to many shelby either. Maybe 3-4 in this area, but mainly stock. Even at carlise no shelby besides the kr's and ss's had the super snake wheels. You see them on a lot of cars on the forums but not many in person. I was at the MACA meet and great the mustafa put togeather. I would come out this weekend by my car was rear ended recently and dont wanna take her out till shes fixed. So maybe in a few weeks we would meet somewhere at one of those... All not far from me. Originally i wanted a set of wheels that i have never seen anyone have but they are about 3k more the the SS's So unless i win the lottery i will settle with SS's these are what i wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! Yeah! I missed that meet...sucked..that I did. Okay..well let me know when she's fixed. Nice wheels..and yeah I found the same thing...everything I want is to expensive. I can get the SS with tires and stuff for $3k so, I probably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500692 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I think they look great. I have a 2010 sterling grey and am going to order the same wheels from forgestar. Iam leaning towards matte black but they tell me 8 weeks while the piano black are in stock and ready to ship. Anyone good at photoshop care to show the difference?
