To pinstripe or not to pinstripe

Zerafian · 09-23-2009, 01:01 PM

Im still waiting for my wheels to get the gold pin stripe done just like yours, so I know how you feel about waiting patiently.

If you do any kind of pinstripping please do it red.
Leave it clean and get like red brakes, that's the cleanest!

Have you been given a ship date yet on your F14

Caravanshaka · 09-24-2009, 04:32 PM

nope, still no ship date...15.5 weeks...

nogoodname · 09-24-2009, 04:33 PM

^^^ it's a never know when it might come ...lol

CGMobile370Z · 09-24-2009, 04:39 PM

so at what point do you think you will just want a refund and order a new set of rims? have they at least cut you some sort of discount

Caravanshaka · 09-24-2009, 04:56 PM

They are supposed to ship monday at this point, but that is "if everything stays on schedule" which has never happend in the past so I have no expectations.

I think even though most pinstripes are red they would look really sick on your white 370.

Luv'n my Z · 10-01-2009, 01:18 AM

I think that the white is to subtle although red is excessivly common I still think it looked the best. What do you think about blu???

Caravanshaka · 10-01-2009, 12:57 PM

Nothing else on my car is blue or red, so I'm not sure it would look good like that. I prefer the subtleness of the white since it won't draw away anyones attention from the great looking wheel design and finish.

They are finally on a truck, will be delivered tomorrow along with my SPC rear camber arms (Thanks DDM for the quick processing and shipment of those).

I should have them mounted Saturday with pics.

Caravanshaka · 10-02-2009, 08:01 PM

They finally arrived!

First 2 pics have all 4 wheels in it, the other ones are just the fronts. You guys tell me what you think before I say anything about them...

LiquidZ · 10-02-2009, 08:06 PM

To me, the wheels that appear on the right look more glossy than the ones on the left. That could be attributed to the lighting.

nogoodname · 10-02-2009, 09:08 PM

so caravan.... how r they??

Caravanshaka · 10-02-2009, 09:11 PM

3 of them look fantastic (both rears and one front), but one of the wheels was more of a satin finish compared to the 3 gloss finish. I sent pictures to Mike and he talked forgestar into sending me a replacement. So I am mounting them up as-is and forgestar is making me a new one and sending it when they get it done.

They also still send me the old centercaps even though I was supposed to get the new ones, so hoping they send me new ones with that 1 new wheel.

Besides that issue, they look really good and I can't wait to see them on the car.

hopefully they sort it out sooner rather than later
