What's the deal with 18" Forgestar wheels

Can someone tell me the shank/thread length of the correct M14x1.5 bolts to use with the Forgestars? I've heard they're cheap, Chinese bolts and some have snapped in the past so I wanted to order some quality ones and have them powdercoated to match my matte gunmetal finish.

My 18x8.5 and 18x11 matte gunmetal F14s will be here on Monday and I'll get them mounted on Wednesday of next week. I already have my center cap stickers and grey wheel bolt caps ready to go. I'm waiting to get the wheels in hand before I order some high quality bolts so I can verify the thread length I need.

Finally got them mounted up and on the car last week. I wish they were a little bit darker, and a little bit more matte, but I'm nitpicking. The more I see it the more I think it looks awesome. The center cap color is a little off but for $18 it's not bad. I might get them remade for another $18.

997 GT3 RS offsets in 18x8.5 and 18x12 with 21 mm spacers. Great track wheels.

Car looks amazing guys. Glad to see/hear that there are so many P-car owners running Forgestar wheels!

Thanks! I agree with you 
8.5" wide on a 35 offset front
11" wide on a 33 offset rear
I'm on H&R coilovers and I have Tarret Engineering monoball camber plates up front and their monoball shock mounts in the rear so that slightly changes my offsets (mostly the front) from stock. I made a spreadsheet comparing the OEM fitment, GT2, and a few other width and offset applications before I finally picked mine.
PM me your email if you'd like me to send it, it was really helpful.

Cf 10 wheel caps
Has anyone come up with a solution to replace ForgeStar wheel caps, I really prefer to have a Porsche emblem? I can figure out a solution.

So my center cap "stickers" came in today and I just finished installing them on my center caps. (still waiting on my rear wheels to get here)
I think they turned out GREAT!
This is a great, ChEAP alternative.

I am looking to do the same for my center caps and was hoping you could answer a couple questions for me:
- Did you remove the Forgestar Sticker or did you put the Porsche emblem over top?
- Did you use anything (ex. crazy glue) to ensure that they stick or nothing was needed?
