No. I would say that the Matte Black on my car is closer to a satin than a traditional flat. You have seen them in person though so I am sure you are talking about something with even more gloss. The next color they are going to release will be a gold and I think they will be discontinuing a few like the two tone finish and possibly the gunmetal and formula silver but I don't think they have 100% decided on that yet.

gun metal is pretty nice

The matte black does look sick.

Did I read that they are working on an 18" version of the F14's?
Anyone know the weight on the 18's, if they're out?

They are working on an 18" F14 which is just about to start production. Expected weights can be found on page 4 of this thread...

They will also be doing a 20" version.

Thanks.

Yeah, they looked pretty good in person, but just a little too flat. The rims I have on my Mini are a 50% gloss, or at least thats what the guy at the powder coated told me. Hope things are going good for you :tup:

I love the look of the F14s, my only question is are the center caps removable? I'd be interested in seeing what they look like with out the white Forgestar cap.

They are actually a polished finish with yellow/red/black logo. They are removeable though so you can either leave them out or paint them to match the color of the wheel.

who knew? I thought they were white too :rofl2:

I know, right? Any chance we could get a picture of them on your car with the caps removed, DDM?

lol, just use a bit of imagination. It will look like a hole with these big ugly bolts in the middle...

Gold, huh? Any chance of the bronze yet? I think the bronze would do better then gold.

They are still trying to decide on a final color. Could be more towards bronze or more towards gold. They aren't sure yet.

+100 on bronze please :)

If it is bronze, I think I have a winner
