DPE's are nice....

But if thats your budget for something new I personally would consider the forgestar F14. I think you may be wise to wait for a deal on some used wheels though, there seems to be a bunch popping up lately.

Well I was trying to buy takmans dpes but he decided to go with another buyer so I'm back in here with the same question...anyone know anybody selling some nice 20's with a lip? Can be used or new as long as they are nice.

Still debating on the forgestar f10's with the gunmetal center.

heres a new pic i found of the Forgestar F10 wheels installed on a benz Pic 1 and Pic 2...vendor CampioniShop said i could get them in gunmetal as well as black or silver. what do you guys think?

available sizes and offsets

20x8.5 offsets from +30 to +50
20x9.0 offsets from +18 to +56
20x10.5 offsets from +20 to +45
20x12 offsets from +39 to +65

what sizes do you guys recommend for me? im trying to get the most aggressive stance without having to roll fenders.

thanks guys

i think everyone and their mother gets forgestar because they think they are better than cast wheels when they really arent anything special

if i were you, id contact EAS who does custom VMR VB3 colors and get the matte bronze and some Advan tires

they were doing some specials and the color looked great
