forgestar pic request!

Ok if someone could help me with the backspacing on these wheels id really like to order some. I want to run 20" all the way around 9.5 up front and 11 in the back. What backspacing should I go with on these wheels? I'd like have the pretty flush, but don't want to rub

To be safe just ask whoever you order them from or email Forgestar direct.

Just wanted to say "Thanks All" for all the info and input on these wheels. I just ordered 18x9s and 18x10s with the titanium finish from Howey Industries. Paul Howey has been great to deal with so far.

if you got the titanium you were lucky, it was discontinued and is a rare find.

 

[sgt2719]

According to Paul it is still available. I guess I will have to wait and see.

They have brought back titanium for 2012. See forgestar Blog.

This is the finish I would really like to have but I don't know what it is or if it's an option for us or only for Porsche. The face looks like polished aluminum with the rest being silver

Man, I just found a place that sells four 18x10 F14's for only $1169 shipped! (They have all other sizes too, for great prices) However, it's not for our cars. I messaged them to see if he could sell me them for my Mustang. I don't see why the wheels would cost any more for a different lug pattern/offset. It's still the same wheel.

Kbreeze, they call that finish Brushed Titanium according to Paul at Howey Industries. The face of the wheel has a machined finish with the rest in silver.

Here's a new custom finish, Black Graphite.

 

[Digital_Synapse]

I...like...that...a lot.

 

[ModTechRacing]

Oh great!! Now I don't know what color to get! Thanks for making my decision harder now haha

 

[GrnBullitt08]

The black graphite looks great

That's a really great price for sure. It could be that this fitment sells in much higher volume so the price is lower. But, I'm really interested to hear what else you find out...

Yeah I'll let you know when I hear back. It's a vendor on the corvette forum which I've been a member of for many years. Unfortunately that site is blocked for me here at work so I can't check until I get home. It's a specialty corvette shop so I think chances are slim they can do it but we'll see. At the very least it could possibly serve as a negotiating point for some of you guys. I'd be surpised if more Vette guys are buying these then Mustang guys. They tried a group buy for forgestar once on that forum and there was only like 2 responses.

 

[ModTechRacing]

Yea man keep us posted I wouldn't mind saving a little dough

 

[Morris]

Color just got easy for me, black graphite ftw!

 

[MJJ]

Here's a new custom finish, Black Graphite.

Dumb question: I know they have matte black, piano black, semi-gloss black and brushed now I see the black graphite.

It is hard for me to to tell what is the difference between black graphite and semi-gloss? Does it have a slight grey/black tint.

My eyes must be getting worse. Then again I am an old timer compared to most on the forum.

Thanks for the clarification.

 

[ModTechRacing]

Yea it looks to have a sort of metallic flake to it

 

[Godzirra]

Well I'm kinda pissed atm. I ordered my wheels JAN 6th through Dv8motoring.com ----Come to find out according to the forgestar tracker, It looks like they didn't even place my order with forgestar until FEB 1st and I was unaware of the tracker up until like 2 days ago. So I'm on the 7th week and forgestar is saying another 5-6 weeks. FML. My brembo tires are bald as I downsized to 18s and already have tires for the new ones so now i'm driving a car with bald tires when good ole spring rain starts to be popping up.

LOL, Piano Black is actually a black metallic pearl. I posted some pics awhile back. The sparkle can only be seen on the curves in direct sunlight. It's hard to see, even harder to photograph.
