Forgestars or SF winnings?
 
Trying to make a final decision on which rims to go with, either Forgestars or a mint used set of silver Volk SF winnings. Just curious as to everyone's thoughts.

avant garde's look pretty good on red and also in similar design pattern:

I like the forgestars. It's hard to tell from the pic, but are they a concave design? That would make it so much better looking.

They aren't very concave at all, which is part of what makes me hesitant.

If you can find ones that are similar in design, but concave those would look sick.

red_zed- definitely forgestars! :tup:

the winnings are fine but they're dated and look better on G35/G37 coupes imho.
also aren't they considerably heavier than the forgestars?

those avantgards are heavy sob! :icon14: the rear 19x11's weigh like a frikken 3pc wheel

I am a volk whore... BUT! I really like the Forgestars on your ride man...

the forgestars concave depends on the size. If you want a deep concave on the front and rear on a 19" rim for example you have to go at least 19x9.5 front and 19x11 rear. Otherwise its flat. Look at more pics of those f14s on dif angles, there is def decent concave.

forgestar

There's some concave, but really not a whole lot.

I thought they didn't make their rims in half sizes?

A 9.5 has recently been released. Maybe im biased cause im awaiting my forgestars but just look at those 2 pics side by side, forgestars > those volks anyday! I love volks but the spoke design on the f14 is perfection on the 370.

Lol in that case you should bi winnings.

dAvenue 04-18-2011 07:51 PM

Definitely the Forgestars. They compliment the 370 so well.

Ni55anPat 04-19-2011 02:27 PM

Ah. I've heard the word guey used to mean different things.

Red__Zed 04-19-2011 06:42 PM

Wow, the poll is a lot closer than the posts suggest. Volk sympathizers, speak up.

I kind of want to go with the volks just so I have them right away...though I think the FS rims look cooler.

2004YZFR1 04-19-2011 07:41 PM

I think they both look nice, just don't put gold rims on your red Z. But then again it's your ride. Do what you like and enjoy it!

Gold on red is effing classic.

I actually really like the look. I'll be that guy rocking gunmetal rims on the subaru, but gold on the Z:rofl2:

If I still had my Z I'd be all over the gold on red.

Alchemy 04-19-2011 08:11 PM

The gold on red looks good. I have a monterey blue Z and pondered the gold before deciding on the bronze. I know you could have the volks right away but those gold f14s are the ****.

I'm worried I'll attract even more attention from ricers, but whatever. I was really trying to get a red stang with gold forgestars...that would be sweet.

:yum: Gold F14s on a red 5.0 would be pretty sick.

I don't think you'll get ricer attention honestly. Gold on red is very Italian. :yum:

I think that would have been awesome. Yeah, it is very "Subaru" but it still looks great.

Two votes over here for the forgestars.

docaam 04-19-2011 10:18 PM

I love Volks ;) but here I will go with Forgestars

res0zsfa 04-20-2011 02:26 AM

get the gold forgestars :)

Alchemy 04-23-2011 05:27 PM

Whats the deal Red Zed??? Have you decided?

Red__Zed 04-27-2011 11:47 AM

Not yet. Forgestars are looking likely, but I'm going to wait on placing the order due to the fact that I'm moving. Since it may be 6 weeks before I see the rims, I have no idea where I will be then.

Red__Zed 04-27-2011 11:49 AM

I also may wimp out on the gold and go with gunmetal.
