forgestar pic request!

[Godzirra]

Yea I hope mine come sometime soon. I'm driving on bald pirellis and can't play with my new nitrous kit yet

There is no urgency with Forgestar, I've talked to Peter at Forgestar awhile back when I ordered my F05's. He did mention Forgestar having a hard time with how much they've grown.

This x10. Quality is great but there is no way a wheel should take that long. No way. Forgestar requires half at time of ordering and half when they ship.

I got mine through a dealer and paid all up front!

yup, me too. But we also saved a lot of money doing it that way

Has anyone used howeyindustries.com for their purchase?

I just got my set of F05s ordered through them. Very helpful on the phone and quick to respond to e-mails. Seems to be on the up and up.

If I had the money I would join the club, killer looking wheels guys.

No but I considered them...they have good prices and they certainly seem to be legit and reputable. Only reason I went with forged wheel source is they gave me an even better price (although it was slight).

+1 Paul was a great guy to deal with

Wheels ordered! And the wait begins...

^^^^They look real good on that bullitt. I'm contemplating getting rid of my CS-69's for a set of forges or voosen cv3 or cv1's.

Slick setup man, nice choice.

I'm surprised more people aren't going with x10's all the way around. You get the concave look both front and back and get better handling and of course can rotate if using the same tires. I considered getting the 11's out back but decided I don't need a HUGE tire back there. 275 to 295 looks beefy enough in my opinion and remember the bigger you go the more rotational weight you add. The whole reason I went to Forgestar was for 2 reasons: 1) The light weight, and 2) the concaveness of the wheel.

Also note those who want 20's, the 20x11's for some reason are not deep concave, and their regular "semi concave" are nearly flat-faced. Here's the chart:

SEMI CONCAVE
18"
18×8.5 offsets from +26 to +50
18×9.0 offsets from +20 to +55
18×9.5 offsets from +26 to +60
19"
19x8.5 offsets from +26 to +48
19x9.0 offsets from +20 to +55
20"
20×8.5 offsets from +26 to +50
20×9.0 offsets from +18 to +56
20×10 offsets from +31 to +69
20×11 offsets from +48 to +81

22"
22x8.5 offsets from +12 to +51
22x9.0 offsets from +18 to +57
22x10 offsets from +31 to 70
DEEP CONCAVE
18"
18×10 offsets from +16 to +42
18×11 offsets from +23 to +55
18×12 offsets from +36 to +68
19"
19x9.5 offsets from +4 to +42
19x10 offsets from +20 to +44
19x11 offsets from +23 to +55
19x12 offsets from +36 to +68
20"
20×9.5 offsets from +7 to +43
20×10.5 offsets from +20 to +55
20×12 offsets from +39 to +75
22"
22x10.5 offsets from +10 to +49
22x12 offsets from +29 to +68

I went with 19x10 +41 front and 19x11 +53 rear

Damn man..... you might have a twin soon. That looks real good... and I have been obsessed with finding the right wheel in a 19 for this car. NICE JOB!!




EDIT.... what tire are you running?

BFGs... the fronts are 255/35 and the rears are 295/35. Pretty good tire but next set of tires will be a little wider in back.

U did? Recently the best price is thru forgestar directly. I quoted it with many vendors.

Ok maybe I'm wrong. recently? When did you get your wheels? If someone can get 18x10/11's for cheaper then $1340 shipped that would be good to know. What did you pay for your 20's?

 

[Digital_Synapse]

Also note those who want 20's, the 20x11's for some reason are not deep concave, and their regular "semi concave" are nearly flat-faced.

Flat huh? I wouldn't say that. Even the deep concave for our cars isn't as aggressive as say...a 370Z or a LP640, but that's just because of the axle length and hub design. Some wheels can achieve this look better than others, but it's far from flat.

Ok you picked a perfect angle to show they are not flat. Most other angles you can barely see any concaveness to the wheel. But you did make your point and showed they are not as flat as I thought in the "semi concave version." Also I think you make another good point in that it depends on the car. I saw the 20x11's on a new camaro and it seemed flatter faced then yours.
