Which wheels? I need your help!

The Forgestar wheels look MUCH better... While I like Vossen wheels, the CV3 just does not work for me - too much open space. The F10, on the other hand, looks awesome. I saw a gold & silver set of 20's for sale here on the forum, which look great on OB. (If they were gunmetal I'd have bought them!)

I think you should go with the Forgestar F10's as well. They just look so clean on the OB. Color is totally your preference though. I personally think the gold is a bit out of style and a bit of bling attempt. Not knocking those running with them because they look nice on the OB, I just think you need to be select with them. Otherwise they could get overdone.
I'm also not a big fan of the stepped rim. Not sure what the steps are for. I like the clean simple spokes down to a single rim edge who's only purpose is to mount the tire to. The stepped lip doesn't seem to have much purpose to it except mounting through bolts/studs to in some cases.
As pity says, keep saving up and your options become seriously more difficult. Lighter in weight is very preferable and then you have the issue of keeping them clean. I've seen some sick wheels that look great, but OMG what a PIA to clean! Raul's CV3's = easy. F10's = not as easy.
Good luck with your decision.

Sick ride Kidcane, that's a good look! I'm so glad I got OB this time around!! Also gives me another good look at how it will be on my OB compared to the CV3's. I'm really digging these F10's.

I absolutely love the RPF1's, but they don't come in 20's
Too bad. GTC-03s are available in 20" and look great, but I think that those are heavier. I also love Iconz wheels, and they are all available in 20s, but they don't specify the weight...arrrghhh.

From what I've seen so far as an owner of my first g, the g37 crowd is in love with Vossen and now Forgestar...... There are different companies out there people. Might want to look at other brands like IForged(company that owns Forgestar), DPE, HRE, VIP Modular, Rotiform(personally one of my fav new companies)....... Yes they cost more than what you listed, but usually 3 piece wheels made to your specs are.
