Sub $2000 wheel battle: Forgestar F14 vs Ruger Mesh
Can you PM me pricing on Ruger mesh in black for my 2009 C2S? Thanks
I have grown a liking to the Forgestar CF10's. They just started making them in 19's. You don't see them on a lot of Porsches, but the cost the same as F14's and are supposed to be about 22lbs. I can't find exact specs on the weight. If the 22lbs are correct, it would be about 16-18 lbs lighter total vs the Rugers that I have now. Also, still half the price of the original design from HRE.

The Forgestars are 23lbs front (19x8.5) and 27lbs rear (19x11 NB). Wide body offsets are heavier due to more backpad material.
Edit: Just saw you said CF10s. The CF10 19" won't be Porsche specific, they will require hub centric rings, new lug bolts and Forgestar center caps. Still a very good deal though!

They indeed are barely any lighter than the Rugers. Both wheels are low pressure cast, the main difference is the Forgestar barrels are flow formed which gives a 10-15% lighter barrel weight.
Remember that the barrels are barely 3 to 5mm thicker, there is little weight to shed there, it is mostly in the face and that is strictly reserved to forged wheels as a wheel reduction technique.
