These are the first set of production Forgestar CF5 wheels built for a Camaro. As soon as they became available, I ordered this set. Will was nice enough to come over and model them on his white SS, and now they are on my cyber gray SS. The white SS has KW coil-overs, my gray Camaro has Pfadt drop springs.

I will be listing the Camaro for sale with these wheels/tires on it. Asking $40K as shown. The car has 10K miles on it, and plenty of power for a daily driver.

These are almost a perfect match for cyber gray! I love them.

They do look great on your Camaro, but I don't like them on Will's. Perfect look for cyber gray cars though. Good luck with sale.

These are my favorite wheels I've had on my gray car so far. Funny, but they are also the cheapest wheels I've had on it. They just match very nicely, and the finish is unique.

They do look very sharp on the CGM. I agree that Will's car looks better with the HRE's...

I like that a lot. I'm interested to see what a deep concave rear is going to look like.

i like the finish also. I will be getting that when i get wheels for the WRX.

If the finish a rough texture? It seems if it is still rough might be a pain to keep clean.

The surface is rough, but slippery to the touch. VERY easy to keep clean, and hides swirl marks well. This is the easiest powdercoat to maintain, by far. Both sets of black 22s I've had on the car had the similar texture finish.

I've learned to appreciate the "easy to clean wheels," and mine's not even a daily driver. Looks good Tony. Agreed....I like them on your car, not sure I'm feelin them on Will's.

Will's car is a retro paint theme, I agree the modern looking wheels don't match as well as they do on my cyber gray car. The cyber gray car looks more modern and high tech, just from the color alone.

Very clean, subtle and low key appearance with those wheels on a CGM car, I like it. Makes it look like a more sophisticated "gentleman's" Camaro.

Keep 'em off Will's car, they definitely won't work with white ;)

They look great on both cars. If I'm honest, I like them better than the HREs on the white car. Just my opinion.

I liked them on my car but still like the HREs more. Def badass wheels for the money.

Those look great! I think they would even look good on wills car if it hadn't been spoiled by HREs already...

I agree with you. I think they look killer on Will's car as well. Those wheels do look great on Tony's car as well. The finish is amazing.
GLWS Tony.

Those are awesome wheels for the price. Hell, awesome wheels period.

Is the coating teflon based? Looks really similar to the coating on the offroad wheels we had on the last Jeep.

Finally able to see it... photobucket doesn't work on the ship.

Looks classier with those rims. When you get that big, two piece wheels loose something.

I like them as well on the white car...haven't seen the HREs to compare...

HRE's on my car. I like the CF5's, and had they been around when I got my wheels I would have considered them. However as mentioned before I'm still happy with the decisions and get a lot of love on the wheels it has when people see them in person.

Also I know it's not likely that someone will have the same wheels as the price scares most away.

Reminds me of Teflon on a frying pan. I like it.

Very similar to teflon. This finish was first developed for the 4x4 truck wheel market, as it does well at repelling dirt/mud. It is slippery to the touch, like teflon.

Is this the same stuff Centerline is/was using on their 4x4 wheels like the Mojave?

HREs look good too...

Tony I heard they were coming with a wheel(s) for the V?

F14 or something? Any pics / additional info you can provide?

Cheers,
Chris

I think they just released 6 lug setups for the 1st Gen V and Viper. They have been available for V2 for a bit.

Thanks....I wonder what they have in stock sizes?

There might be lighter options; but I think the V2 factory wheels are some of the best looking wheels ever.

Wow! Those look nice! A little too much like the factory style for me but I like the convex look to give a rim a lip. The spokes going into the rim isn't for me.

Yeah, that reminds me of the Subaru STi wheel.
