Forgestar F14 - Wheel Colors

Meulen · 09-04-2013, 09:58 AM

I dig the Mat Red!

That said, IMO, this is oneof those things you may want to choose form/function. How would you feel if what happened to your calipers happened to those rims? For track car/daily driver, I'd probably lean toward a black or mat black rim. You won't notice as much when things go wrong. If you don't care about that then go with the sexy red!!

Hmm... interesting point... however my track days have only ever caused wear / tarnish to my brakes. I have yet to experience wheel issues at the track.

The only issue i foresee is getting melted rubber on the rims like i did on the last track day. Still gotta get some clay bar action on those to clean em up.

Otherwise... the wheels wont change color

Red looks fine.
One thing to consider is getting wheels that are the same color as your brake dust. I had a bronze copper wheels until I washed them to find I still had stock.

for magnetic black? which wheel color is the best contrast guys?

Haboob · 10-25-2014, 01:00 AM

Almost anything will go with black.

Their candy teal, or purple, would look stellar, IMO.

Purple like a ************!

DEpointfive0 · 10-25-2014, 03:23 AM

That matte red looks pink. Super ghey

danegrey · 10-25-2014, 07:12 AM

liked the red on the pearl white, nice looking wheels

IDK... I think I'd go with something a little more understated. I'd go with the bronze burst.

Haboob · 10-25-2014, 06:39 PM

I like my bronze burst, but I think I may go with a neon yellow plastidip over top of it for a bit. I dunno.

I want something extreme for a bit.

^Let's both just get a second set of wheels. My matte gunmetal is way too boring for my liking now.
