Thumbs up 19" Forgestar F14 Gunmetal & Hankook V12 [PICS]

I placed my order on the last day of January and received these today. The lag was a bit unbearable near the end due to some confusing info from Forgestar, but they arrived and now onto the wheels. Thank you to Forgestar for overnighting this set.

Here's how she looked beforehand:



Today I received a call from both Forgestar and Sonic MS giving me the heads up. Oh?









Centercaps, rings, and bolts were all securely taped inside one of the boxes. Sonic's Hunter machine made quick work of everything. Tires are 245/35F and 275/35R. Now onto the finished product...











I know I'm going to get a few PM's asking me what offset I ordered; to be frank, I forgot and will have to check. I knew in January....I'm just happy I don't have to run spacers anymore!

Edit: A more recent picture from 2011

Very nice setup. Noticed you have a sets spacer (15mm?) in the pictures... you didn't have to re-use spacers with the new wheels, did you?

No spacers with the new wheels. I was using 7/14 spacers with my stock wheels to address clearance issues. Maybe I should sell these things...

Thank you for the kind words guys.

Looks great! I don't know about the yellow fogs though.... or is that just a camera effect?

Hoen Endurance bulbs, so yes, they are very yellow. I figure yellow is a little more useful than that offwhite that comes stock. I have 3000k in the headlights too (yeah yeah), but I'll swap those back eventually.

looks great.

I did a TON of research and the Forgestars were near the top of my list.

I wanted a lot of dish... and after lots of back/forth w/ a guy on eBay over a set of iForged (for $2999) I settled on some Victor Equipment LeMans style rims.

I'll take pics and make a post.

regardless, your car looks great.

They do look amazing! I got 18" in brushed Ti for my gray car. Unfortunately, I'm having some balancing/vibration issues with these wheels and still hoping to find a solution.

Bummer man, were you able to find a GSP9700? Your shop did put on the rings before mounting, correct?

The hubrings were installed properly. The shop said the wheels were "hopping" on the balancer in a spot. My dealer has a GSP9700 but it's VERY expensive, and another local shop seems to be available only during the week
