Hey Ken,

The initial problem was not with offsets but rather with hub rings, lug bolts and center caps.

We are currently testing the water for an 18" solution here:
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...r-18-f14s.html

However these will not be available in 12" rear GT2 fitment.

 

i was also hoping to order these in a gt2 fitment and was told yesterday by another guy that's directly communicating also with FS and he said also that other vendors have tried to get together a group buy such as the OP is attempting, and it hasn't happened yet. also, that iforged/fs whatever is not going to budge on that, and that getting 20 people together at once on these will be like herding cats. not gonna happen,.. or so they say.

as for me, i'm not waiting for that since i'd like wheels this year so i'll be using the insert ring and ugly *** FS center caps. but at least i'll have my f14's in 8.5x18 X 12x18's.

and when they do finally come in, i hope you have some of those ps2's left, as i'm still running on a set of 315/30 rears that originally came from you. amazing price!

 

No GB was ever attempted on the 18" F14s Porsche specific. We are the first company to try it. We are confident it would work as we have had group buys on various forums that had over 20 buyers for Forgestar wheels. Problem is our GB thread have been relegated to the vendor classifieds where you guys simply barely go and because of that, it might not work.

 

i was not hoping to diminish your efforts, and would have even become one of the "group", if one yet exists. but for the reasons i mentioned, chose to go ahead and order as i wanted them sooner than a tentative group buy will get. as i understand it, it's a mfg setup deal. but you know your business, i don't.

in fact, i'll be pissed if i get my non hubcentric wheels and they then announce the porsche specific fitment in ( OEM! duh..). again, i do hope you're successful in this, and wasn't trying to kill joy. just passing along what i was told. since presumably you're getting your info from the same source as the vendor i'm communicating with.

 

Those look great!

 

Looks great. A great wheel really makes a 996 improves the look

 

They looks awesome. Any difference between piano black finish and just gloss black painted?

 

Same finish, different names. All standard finishes are now powdercoated from FS!

 

Here is a picture of some F14's going offroading!

Ahah! That gave me a good laugh. I hope you made it out okay

 

Where in Tn are you located? Knoxville here

 

+996

 

Hey - I live in Nashville. Brentwood actually.

 

Yeah, it was harmless, just got the car dirty so I had to take the front off and vacuum the radiators and chipped a small wooden splitter extension I had on my front lip. Could not make the left at Albuquerque.

 

A friend of mine has the same wheels. They look even better in person
