BC Forged RS45 installed...

Big thanks to Paul at PK, he is great to work with! I just mounted these, but am already thinking of redoing them in Matte Black, to match the aero and bottom of the car. These definitely aren't the nicest looking set of wheels for the car, but I really wanted to shed weight off the rotating mass, so I went with these.

So far, the car is KPMF Wrapped in Siberian pearl, BC RS45 (Stock offset and sizes), 325/345 Toyo R888r. On the way next week are the GT Haus Cat back and Girodisc Brakes to shed more weight. In another couple months will finish off with heads/cam.

I would like some input, should I keep the wheels brushed or redo them Matt Black?

With so many cars with black wheels I like the brushed look. Did you not like the stock 1le wheels?

I did like the design, but didn't like the weight. I always change out my wheels, so running a stock wheel set up goes against my Little Mans Complex.

I understand, I am considering 19” wheels to have more tire options and a little more sidewall. Your wheels look great

Did Paul leave and come back? Few years ago i was trying to buy a set of BC forged for my TRX and he didn't reply to email and the guy at PK i spoke to said he was gone. I bought elsewhere.

325/345 looks great. I like how light the BC Forged and Signature forged wheels are.

Love the look of the wheels. I've always been a fan of 5 spoke wheels on a performance car. As for the color I'd go with a gloss or Mosaic black to match the Mosaic black trim on the car.

I like the wheels in this color and I think black would just blend in with the rest of the car. Maybe someone could photoshop your car with these in black?

I think the brushed goes good with the white.

I have SS 1LE wheels on my Summit White ZL1. They are darker than the standard ZL1 wheels, but not as dark as the black ZLE wheels. I prefer darker color wheels on a white car. Although I like the color of the 1LE wheels, I'd really like to have them done in gloss or satin black.

However those wheels do look great in brushed finish

I'm a fan of the Gunmetal SS 1LE wheels myself...



But I think if you did those wheels in a Matte Black or even better, Gunmetal it would really set apart the white car... Either way, nice wheels!

That's what I did. I like 5 spoke and I like simple colors. No flashy colors for me. Black works and I think with the theme I went with the black wheels fit perfectly.

No doubt!

I love the black Advan's on your car. Those would probably look pretty good on my car as well.
