G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Are these offered in any other interior color than black? Good looking wheel reminds me of BBS's.

yup! I believe they come blank so they can be practically powder coated anything!

Just like the F14, you have standard colors to choose from that are included in the cost.

Are these, as the name suggests, forged?

Rotary forged means it starts out as RAW ALLOY but poured thicker than a cast aluminum wheel. They are machined down using high heat and high pressure to "flow form" the outer hoop.

The barrels are much stronger than your typical cast wheel, and lighter. It is NOT a monoblock forged wheel that comes from a blank stock.

You couldn't get monoblock wheels at the price point of these "Rotary forged" or "Flow Form" wheels. They are good for the price.
