So here's an odd question for you, the f14's come in a few different color options, has anyone got a custom color done? I'm thinking a dark purple, if so what was the cost?

That depends on how custom the color actually is. Get Your Wheels seems to price finishes based on stages of color. If it is a single, powder coat finish, it will probably fit in with their regular pricing. Once the color moves up to multi-stage, there is a cost increase. I won't quote the prices that I have been offered, but the custom colors were very reasonable, IMO.

We have a dark purple we can do as a single color powder coat. There will be no extra cost for this color. :happydance:

We just received our stocking order of the F14s in Z fitment! These are ready to go immediately to finishing and I can get your set done in under 3 weeks! No 1-2 month backorders or build times if you order order now while they're in stock!! We're the only ones in the country with these in stock and ready to go!

Anybody running 18's with stock ride height and have a few pictures?

Not mine.

He was looking for 18" F14's:bowrofl:

Gave him exactly what he asked for.:tup:

Not stock height, but 18s.

Not sure what the set up is here, but pretty sure they are 18s. Lowered.

:thumbsdown:

Thanks, and you are right I didnt quite specify on that first question about 18's. Thanks though for the pictures, I like the idea of 18's for cheaper tires and a better ride but im not sure yet

Lets build you a set of those 18" Super Deep Concave F14s http://s1.e46fanatics.com/forum/imag.../FIREdevil.gif

Anybody run 20" f14's on their z that's what I had my heart set on but things ended up working out differently. I just want to know how much of a difference it makes

20"s will look awesome! The tires will not. That's the big reason that I stuck with 19"s. The tire selection was incredibly limited for 20x305 or larger

That actually is a damn good reason to go with 19 thanks

Sorry for the terrible picture but I couldn't wait any longer!

Considering swifts... but I also have to consider multiple speed humps daily..

That looks so clean!! The Nismo front looks so good on the silver :driving:

What are the specs on the wheels?

Im not sure the offsets but they are what Jason usually recommends. 19x11 Rears 295 30 R and 19x9.5 up front 255 35 F.

what color? looks awesome!

19x9.5 +20 19x11 +15 F14s in Black Graphite!

Thanks to Jason I realized that firestone mechanics are incompetent and can't install center caps or hubcentric rings... ill post some good pics soon! :tup:

You know... I'm always amazed at how many wheel/tire shops have no idea what hubcentric rings are used for. :shakes head:
They install the wheels without them and the customer doesnt realize until they drive off and the car starts shaking on the freeway!

F14s in Textured Black vs 21" M590s in Matte Black in the back

those 590's would look real nice on the new IS350. :yum:

Or shops that don't know how to balance... I'd like to give this place credit for hiding the weights behind the spokes, but damn that did not actually balance the wheel. Over 75 the car would vibrate like crazy. I had to get a new set of rear tires and a different place did not make any attempt to conceal the weights. Car drives like a dream. I will take ugly weight placement over vibrations any day.

I'll be putting these on next week and I'm trying to decide what lug nuts I should go with...

So far I'm leaning towards the Project Kics R40, in black and maybe adding one neo-chrome lock to each wheel...

When talking about the F14's, how much would these stick out?

Does anyone else have another recommendation?

I've looked at several lug nut threads on here and elsewhere and there's definitely many, many choices - which of course only makes the decision making process all the more difficult :confused:.

I'm currently thinking about what lugs would go good with a red wheel.

Side note there going on a 40th

Have you checked these out?

Hey Jason is there no such thing as a TPMS sensor that has a black stem?

http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...levere/uuu.jpg

Yes we do actually!
We have full replacement metal valve stems in anodized black and gunmetal.
These are made to work with or aftermarket TPMS sensors, so I'm not sure if they'll work on OEM TPMS.

Heres a photo:

Okay. So I can just replace the valve stem without unmountung the tires?

You wont be able to swap out the full valve stem without taking the TPMS out.
I wouldnt recommend it, but you should be able to swap the black caps (but not the valve part).
Just let all the air out of the tire and screw off the cap and screw the new one on. Just be careful the TPMS sensor doesnt fall into the wheel!

So, why wasn't I involved in the decision as to what color valve stem was going to be used on my $3500 setup? I was involved in every other aspect of my order but not this and as you can probably imagine, I'm not happy. These things are hideous! They stick out like a sore thumb and I can't believe you all would have used these when black ones were available, especially considering the black/carbon/silver Forgestar center cap, the black lugs I'm running, and the color of the wheel. Unbelievable.
