My Ride: SOLD...Jet Black 2008 550i M Sport with SAT, black interior. RPI exhaust and air scoop, 35% huper optik tint all around, CF roundels, flat black kidneys, Springfield Armory XD-40 jet black in glove box, charcoal filter removed.
So I ordered a set of forgestar's F14's in the new brushed titanium finish for my car. From everything I could find out, they are indeed the lightest, yet strongest cast wheel available. ICan't wait to get them delivered then installed on my car.
I'll post pics when they arrive.
by the way, I will not disclose pricing, but suffice it to say I got them for right around what the Breytons would have cost. Great dealing with both Michael from Acute and Nerwyll from Trinity on this purchase. Both are class acts and very professional guys.
Not sure what I'm going to do with my bent (and one hairline cracked) 172's - or my spacers. Maybe try to sell them cheap, maybe fix them up and keep them as a back up set.

Went with 19" 9 front and 10 rear with 20mm offsets both. I already had 19" 172's on the car stock and don't want to go to 20's due to ride comfort and risk of more easily bending them. See, I somehow bent all four of my sotck 172's and am a little jumpy about bending rims again.

I'll let you all know what I think after i get them. My one concern is the color. I absolutely loved the titanium color, but they discontinued it and now have this brushed titanium color. It looks a little shiny to me, and although I don't want the complete murdered out look, I'm also not a fan of bright shiny wheels either. A happy medium is where I'm at.

Nope, dude at the time of your post, which i just looked up, I was about a week or two into getting home from a year long deployment to Iraq. I was either shit faced or having fun with the misses at that time. I don't remember your post, but know you are just kidding too.
