Honestly, I think the factory GS wheels look much better than the Forgestars.

That being said, I think Black or Gunmetal would look great.

White could be interesting as a contrast and would go good with white fender hashes.

Default Factory GS wheels

I absolutely agree as well. Those factory GS wheels looks amazing with your car. I have a 2013 GS in cyber gray as well with chrome factory GS wheels and I love it. But good luck with your decision.

Since you are picking out fugly wheels, you may as well get the fugly monster green to boot.

If you want a slightly modded look, I think one of the bronzes - even the brighter Sun Gold - would look good!


On the extreme end, you could potentially pull off the colored wheel look. In my opinion, however, this is reserved for track cars or aggressively modded cars. Not really my taste, but some reds and blues look good when matched with basic body colors - white, gray, black, silver, and the like. Google this, and you will see the style!

I don't understand your attitude...

I am not for sure going with an aftermarket wheel. I was just curious of what some you guys would choose. I also like the look of the factory wheels. I actually just pulled a photo off the net of a similar GS as I actually don’t have the car yet it should be in route soon. Here is an actual photo of the car. Also the white wheels would be ballsy lol

it will actually be set up for a street/track hpde car but I am not sure which wheel color I would go with if I did run a forgestar. Does anyone know what the widest front tire you can run on this factory front wheel?

Chrome is tacky... skip it.

GS wheels are cool as far as styling, though. Either paint them, or get new wheels!

I had CF5s and F14s in black and graphite black. My 2 cents is buy them unfinished and pick something with a more tint but not all the way to gloss black and have a local powder coater do it. The cost is about $100 a wheel and you aren't limited to Forgestar's crappy selection. Take a look at the finishes Brixston Forged, Signature wheels and BC Forged wheels offer. They all have brushed black tints of different depth that would look much better than the Forgestar choices.

I prefer the factory wheels on my Cyber Gray but if I had to change I'd go with the Gunmetal.

Your color is a tough match. It would be a toss up between gray and black.
