Just to plain for me for $$$. To each their own.

ha, see, I think the ingot silver car does not look good, but it's not lowered, so I can't make a fair evaluation. But I think the sterling grey car looks amazing, but my car isn't sterling grey. But believe me, I have seen all those pics 10 times over.

I'm just trying to decide if almost an extra $1,000 is worth it for one set of wheels over another.

If you're stuck on buying new then I'd say yes but you can find CF5s used a lot. Check SVTperformance.com. It's a rotary forged wheel. Worth it.

Why are you comparison shopping to vastly differently priced wheels? I've never seen anyone comparison shop two completely differently styled wheels in two completely different price brackets. If you're considering a forged wheel, why not look at other wheels in that price range like the other styles like the F14 or CF10?

I'm comparison shopping bc I'm trying to decide if the price difference is worth it. I mentioned the CF10's and I'm not really interested in the F14's.

CF10s are pretty awesome...

CF10's or AMR - both look good, but if you're trying to look different, I'd probably go with the CF10's. I haven't seen as many of those on the road.

The CF5's are just too plain, regardless of the cost...

I'd go with the CF10s. They have a natural look about them but, at the same time, everyone knows they are not stock. They match perfectly. Material wise, the CF5s will be better than the AMRs but I wouldn't buy them based on the plainjaneness of the wheel.
