I'm thinking two different personalities right now. The red penstripe is an interesting idea. Forgeline has so many options it's going to be tough. I'll check out the wheels your talking about.

i just looked through thier competition line and honestly dont see any of those wheels looking good on your car...
I personally LOVE multi spokes and mesh wheels but for some reason i just cant see them on payback.
i i think you should go with a split -5 spoke so it wont be so identical to you wheels now but still have a 5spoke look.

and IMO this color way would look SICK on your car! and easy to clean!

I do like the SP3P but I keep trying to tell myself this is for racing. These won't be my street wheels. (Atleast not at this point)It's a tough decision.

yeah for "track" wheels
i wouldnt do brushed or polished and i would do step lip for sure! and im really likeing how the hidden hardware looks on all the forgelines! plus that even better for cleaning purposes since there gonna constanty be covered in brake dust.

If you act like your going to buy them, you can look at all the options for each wheel. I really don't want many add ons so I'll probably stick with one of the free powder coated center colors and possibly powder coat the lips. The brushed is clear coated so it would be ok. It's not that much work to wipe down a clear coated wheel. I'm not building them to compete with my boosts so it definitely will be step lip. The competition wheels don't have center caps but you can add them for $85 a piece! lol

yeah the good thing if you get the comps without the caps that it will probabaly help ya to remember "these are my track wheels not my every day wheels"lol

Default So....what did you decide on?

Or are you still in the "I get to pick my own birthday present" stage.

Like a kid in a candy store man. Definitely know which wheel, just haven't decided on finishes. I have Scott at Forgeline sending out some samples next week. What I'm considering has never been done by Forgeline. As soon as I have them mounted on the car, I'll snap some photos.
