forgestar pic request!

Shit you right! I dont see any 20-1/2" by Rays. Well back to my original question then.... Sorry I havnt owned a Ford in quite some time.

I'm happy with the McGard spline drive installation kit I bought for my forgestars. McGard makes quality stuff.

I've got black gorilla nuts.

Nope as far as I know the thread is a 1/2"x20 not a 20x1.5.

This may be the route I have to take. I just like the thought of less weight and I like the look of the Rays pieces as they just look pretty.

I'm pretty sure the Mcgard's are designed to be fairly lightweight too and I also think they look nice and again are of very high quality. I don't think you'll be dissappointed. Here's the description on Amazon:

The convenient way to order Tuner wheel locks, lug nuts and valve stems. Kit contains all the hardware that you need to install 4 wheels and tires. SplineDrive Lug Nuts combine style and performance. A no-compromise design engineered to fit small diameter recesses in Tuner style wheels. SplineDrive lug nuts offer closed-end design, maximum gripping power, more stud engagement and a greater seating surface than socket style lug nuts. In addition they are 30 percent lighter in weight. Like all McGard lug nuts, the chrome/black plating is guaranteed for life not to rust, chip or peel. The easy-to-use, one-piece wheel locks function like regular lug nuts, but require a special key tool for installation and removal. The computer generated key designs allow for an infinite number of key patterns. McGard lug nuts and wheel locks are manufactured in the USA to meet or exceed O.E.M. standards for safety and durability. Every lug nut and wheel lock is fully machined from restricted chemistry steel made specifically for McGard and through-hardened for its unsurpassed level of safety.

Did you get yours from summit also? What about the tps? I'm going to need to get lugs and tps too, my rims should be here in a couple weeks.

Got the McGards on Amazon...I think they had the best price at the time. I got the chrome ones which was only $67-$69 for the kit, but black is like $90+ I think simply because popularity I'm guessing.

Can't remember off the top of my head where I got the tpms but it was a mustang vendro and the price was the best I found. They sell them on Ebay too, but are a little cheaper buying them direct from their website. I'll try to remember...

Been keeping up with this whole thread and today I placed my order for 4 18x9.5 +36 gloss gunmetal f14s through Paul at howey industries. He quoted me 4-6 weeks since forgestar had stock of what I ordered and was very helpful and prompt with my numerous questions. I'll keep it posted.

Howey is the largest forgestar dealer and have an employee working at one forgestars facilities doing the shipments and QC checks. So hopefully I won't have any issues.

On that note...are the TPMS just a direct swap over from my OEM rims?

I wouldnt mess with the old TPMS Sensors (Bands and sensors)
AM has them with the relearn tool for like $200.00
Those are the new non band style that replace the valve stem

 

[Kbreeze]

Here you go. Genuine Ford TPMS 2010-2012
$105 shipped for just the sensors
$155 shipped including the Syncing tool.

I just bought the sensors and the shop that mounted, balanced & installed my tires/wheels sync'd them. Total install including that was only like $80.

Just to be sure your car is a 2010 or newer?

The only reason i ask is the TPMS freq changes on the newer models
If you have an old dog like me You need TPMS other then the ones from Blue Oval

 

[triblk6spd]

Sooo I ordered a set of McGuard Spline Drive and will just swap over my TPMS then. I am pretty excited about getting this whole deal up and running.

 

[triblk6spd]
