Yeah, same deal if they are aluminum forged. It's worth a call to the wheel mfg. they'll know what aluminum alloy was used and what heat tolerance they can take.

Captain's Log, star-date 03.21.14

Wheels have passed Quality Control and have been shipped. Thank all that is holy that i am finally getting these wheels.

They should be here: 3/26/14.
- And no, not delivered to my front door.

I ordered them on Black Friday, which puts this order at 4 months.
- Was it worth the wait? ...damn straight.

Forgestar F14 - Blood Red
  • Front: 19x9.5
  • Rear: 19x11 (super deep concave)
