yeah, 8 weeks to build and the face has changed on the newer ( this years ) f'star f14' 18's unless you can find the older barrels and i needed ONE new/old one! but fortunately i found a great wheel place ( tru wheel in NoHo CA ) and my last weekends bent wheel isn't bent any more. one day turn, powder coated and all ).. still gonna get a set of gt2 twists as backups. 18's on these cars is just so much..... better. too bad the f'star cf10 is 19 only?! ya know..19's are fine.. until you run canyons. that's how i have this figured.
and the front?
225,235,245?
I still dont get why 19" means less grip on these cars. Yeah with a 25/19 rear and a 225 in the front I see that, but today's lighter wheels combined with the right rubber should be equal or better for the STREET.
(most sticky track tires are 18", so that part is clear.
)

no, i'm running 18's in 9x12. i agree 19's are fine for street. but 90% of my driving is canyons and i'm certain 19's are not optimal on this car in canyons eg pikes peak kinda stuff vs 18's. street yes. no prob.
speakin' of the peak.. i live for this sh*t!

Forgestar F14 18" wheels have recently become a popular fitment for Weekend Track Warriors and Full Time Race Teams because of the strength and lightweight properties. Here are some pictures of the EME Motorsports Project 997S Track Car at Spring Mountain Las Vegas.
