Forgestar F14's on a Black Cherry Z
 

I had a set of F14 Piano Black installed this week. I bought the wheels back in October. So after two months of staring at them in my office, I can finally stare at them on my car. The specs and first impressions are as follows:

Front: 19x9
Rear: 19x11

Offset: +20

Front Tire: 245/40ZR -19 Continental ExtremeContact DWS
Rear Tire: 285/35ZR -19 Continental ExtremeContact DWS

I love the look. I ordered a set of Akebono's 40th Anniversary Red BBK's from Z1 Motors last weekend; they are having some difficulty receiving the parts for my order which is delaying its shipment. I should receive them before the New Year, though. I can't hardly wait.

The cabin noise is significantly quieter than with the stock 18's on Yokohama's Advan tires. I mean it's a night and day difference between them. The ride is ultra smooth. I drove 100+ miles yesterday and I loved every minute of it. As I've said before on this wonderful forum, the ride is as smooth as Jame Bond picking up strange. Now that's smooth. They handle like a dream, gripping the road like they were on rails.

I am very pleased. The wheels and the tires, especially, were worth every penny.

Looks good, but I think those photos are killing it.

:iagree:

Wheels look nice, congrats!! Some pics outside of the shade and later in the day would be appreciated.

Regrading those brakes, if you're still having trouble with Z1 you can try ConceptZ:

Thanks, guys. I'll take better pics when I can and share them as soon as I do. I agree the pics are bad.

looks good from what i can see. take some pics outside of the shade

I think you need to get the door handles to match the rims.

Looks good!

Forgestars ftw

Looks good. I'd like to request a pic of the front wheels/tires similar to the angle of your last pic. I might go 245/40 next time or 255/35....can't decide.

255's would be better on a nine inch wheel width.

Also in for more pics.

New Pics
 

Thanks, everyone. The Akebono's were installed earlier this week. Since then, I've just been waiting for a sunny day to snap a few more pics.

EDIT: the first two pictures are of the front and rear tire offsets. I did not know the forum would rotate them from their original orientation. If it's hard to view, the pic can be saved to your computer and then you can rotate it to see it better. Sorry about that.
