Well my Forgeline GT1's just showed up thanks to Brian @ Competition Motorsports ... they look pretty cool (despite being matte black which all of you hated) ...

hopefully will get the OEMs dismounted and the PZeros moved to the GT1's in the next couple of days ...

I'll post a before/after photo thread when I get it done!

crap what a f*ck up! ... I must have misread the poll or checked the wrong box on the order!

sadly they cant be returned; I'll go to Home Depot and buy a couple of cans of rustoleum, i'll post another poll to determine what color to choose!

any suggestions, they have a cool metallic bronze?

plasti-dip camo?

Camo Brown with Copper Metalizer ....practice on a piece of sheet metal ....peel it off in a sheet and change colors anytime you wanna ! Leave it matte or make it shiny with their Glossifier depending on number of coats of the latter . Metalizer must only be used over 3-4 coats of rubberized base color Plasti Dip as it is too thin to peel off easily in a large sheet when it is time to change colors or just remove it

The matte black wheels will look great. Each color option has its own appeal and wow factor.

That works out great, because now you can order the color wheels we told you to get!

Looked at the GA1R's. I like them! Maybe it was meant to be. Very nice style.
