Forgeline is actually headquartered up the street from me.  I have multiple friends who know the owner, I could probably get a discount...

but, they're expensive and I don't think they make F14s anymore. I'm not going to spend 1/4 of what my car is worth on wheels.

Crap, I meant forgestar f14

Most people don't look, anyway.


How do you feel about semi-gloss?

Eggshell is a good call.

Semi-gloss?  Meh.

They don't sand cast wheels. And there's nothing wrong with sand castings.

Oops, screwed up that previous post pretty bad.

BlueBatMobile has released overlays for the BRZ.  Which should I go for:

1.

OR

2.


I'm leaning towards option 1.  Put some clear LED bulbs in so it doesn't reflect yellow everywhere when they're off.

EDIT:  Here's a good comparison picture

I like the one one the right! Put the Amber LEDs in and you're set.

One on the right. Completely red looks like a blown up toy car.

He makes black overlays for the roof too.  Looks oddly really good :mask:

And yellow for the foglights.  And he's working on smoked overlays for the taillights.  Why did I become such a ricer with this car? :cry:

Probably when you bought it

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

He's probably always been a ricer, but it laid dormant until recently.
