I run 21" Forgestar CF10s in Gloss Black w/ Michelin Pilot Super Sports. My rationale was a cost effective summer set-up solution (relative to the nice 21" OEM wheels that come packaged with runflats, which I avoid) and my better half wanting black wheels (her ride). Many of the cheaper aftermarket wheels like Avant Garde offer 10.5" wide wheels for the rear, which I was not a fan of marrying up to the 325/30/21 rubber. Forgestar offers 11", which ultimately pushed me in that direction. Sorry for the washed out camera phone pics...they really do look much better in person. The ride/handling/stopping improvement with lightweight wheels, Super Sports, and her brake upgrade are exceptional.

Will try to get a few more tonight. I know they do some customization, but I believe 11" wide was their max. OEM 21s IIRC are 11.5" for a frame of reference.

Thanks! Not many pics to choose from right now, and all are very average camera phone images...sorry about that. The main difference between the pics and the naked eye is that you can see more wheel detail in the flesh, if that makes sense. Sometimes they just look like a black abyss with rubber around it when taking photos....not flattering. First wheels I've had in a black finish, and I'm very pleased with them.

THANKS! Looks great. I have the same wheels in Matte Black finish for my F10! I think the black color makes the wheels look bigger, since it blends in with clean dressed tires. Not sure if I want to go the same route again or change things up. What are the wheel/ tire specs? |

375 M Performance on M Sport
i love them. IMHO they the ones out of the oem 21s to get if not getting the m brake kit. I run them with Pirelli Pzero RFTs in staggered setup.
