Here, I'll make your decision much easier....they don't make either in 21"!!!! The F14 is available in 18", 19", 20", and 22", but the CF5 is 18", 19", and 20" only. Personally, I'd go with the CF5's.

Yeah, and if they did he should still go with 20".
Less weight, better performance, and look great.

That's cool. Some choose looks over performance. I'm on the opposite side and I'd personally go with 18" F14s (which I'm currently looking into). But I'm all about performance and looks is a bonus.

ok , i removed the CF5 frome my list , i think i'll not make a different if i go with it because it's still five spoke like my stock rims..

so , i'm thinking now in F-14 Gunmetal , i like it more after i saw how it's look like on Taylor car , but i'm still between 20' & 22' !!

I say go with 22's, that way you have balance between looks and performance....just my 2cents but either way good luck with your search

22s are not for performance.

Yeah, the only reason I would personally choose the CF5 is because it seems like EVERYONE is getting the F14's. I swear it seems like every other car on this forum has F14's!!! Don't get me wrong, they are an awesome wheels, and popular for a good reason. But I guess I just don't want to "follow the herd" so to speak. Actually, if I could afford another set of "practical" wheels, I would undoubtedly get the 20" CF10's. Love those!!!

And you need to make the decision if you are after looks or performance. Ultimately, an 18" F14 is going to give you the absolute best performance...due to lighter weight, less rotating mass, and better off-the-line traction because of taller sidewalls on the tires. Now, I'm not a "big wheel" fan, but I will admit that the 22" F14 do look extremely nice. But like Stieger mentioned above, they are NOT performance oriented. If you want a decent go-between....stick with 20's.

Yeah, I've been thinking about getting wheels for next winter. I'm thinking if I order them now, I should get them just in time for the winter racing season down here in Florida.
