Make sure you test a Brembo package car. The suspension is quite different than on the standard GT.

Honestly I think F14s look good on anything. They are a great looking wheel!

I like the RTR wheels, the HRE P40 design, but I figure if I get wheels I want something lighter than stock, so F14s would be a pretty good choice. I've also seen the TSW Nurburgrings on a 5.0 and they look great as well.

There is a thread on AFM (I think) where some people put together a spare package with the help of Discount Tire Direct. I think they used an 18x8 or 18x7.5 Drag wheel with a 205 width tire that fit perfectly in the tub.

Keep in mind with the Brembo car you are also going to have to get yourself a scissor jack as they don't come with one.

Thats not a bad price. Those babys are like $120k new I think. Probably runs to 60 in about 4 seconds as well. Super low miles. Me likey

m4a1mustang · 10-25-2011, 08:18 AM

There's no way that V8 Vantage is only $38,495. It'd probably a typo. $88,495 is more like it.

I looked at Nurbs when I was wheel shopping. Once I saw the f14s I quickly forgot about the TSW's. Price wasnt even that much different. Too bad I couldnt say the same for delivery times

Anyway the wait was worth it I love my Forgestars. They are a tremendous deal.

Yeah its gotta be Ive been scratching my head ever since I saw that post last night.

m4a1mustang · 10-25-2011, 08:21 AM

Yeah the wait time kind of sucks, but you are getting a good deal for a wheel that looks that nice and weighs somewhere in the 22-24lb range.

Something funny about those prices, IMO. They all should be $50k+

Not even for in the car, just at home. I doubt anyone has any stock 255 pzeros down here.

Online car ads are a haven for scammers. If it's too good to be true, it usually is.

Yeah, if it's a private seller with a price much MUCH lower than dealerships, it's either a scammer, a vengeful ex-spouse, or someone with no concept of what the car is worth. And 95% of the time, it's a scammer, because if they're technical enough to list the car on the site, they're smart enough to browse around at other ads.
