Thinking of these wheels...
 
I came across these wheels over at 6speedonline and they piqued my interest. They look to be a great value, lightweight, and strong. I am thinking the F14 in Gunmetal...

Thoughts?

Anyone heard of these before?

Really? Any pics?

I can only seem to find a couple of pics of these mounted on a car...

Does the gunmetal seem a little light to anyone else? Perhaps the flat black would be a better choice... maybe with a white stripe around the outside hmmm

They look quite nice - what sizes would you go for?

Forgestar wheels are awesome!

I am a Forgestar dealer and I also ordered a set for myself :). I ordered Matte Black F14s for my 370Z and they should be here on Thursday.

They only make 19" diameters for now. Their "standard" 370Z sizing is 19x9 front, 19x11 rear. Thats the sizing on the first set I ordered. I am going to order a second set for the track and am going to try and squeeze a 10" wheel up front I think :).

Great! I look forward to seeing them on your car, will make my decision easier.

My only thought now is whether to go with flat black or the gunmetal. As I mentioned, the gunmetal seems to be fairly light for my taste... Have you seen these wheels in person DD? Are they darker than they appear in pictures? I would like the tone that appears on the GTR's gunmetal wheels.

This is the bi-product of the HRE P40 & OEM RS4 wheels having a baby. Looks good!

No I have not seen them in person yet. They are just now shipping their first batch of the wheels. The gunmetal is fairly light though. Definately not GTR gunmetal.

EDIT: On second thought, they look pretty dark on this G37...

Hey mike... let me know how much a set of 19x10 F and 19x11 R would run me... also how much fender modding is needed?

Sure thing. I will send you a PM. There shouldn't be any fender modification needed. The 370Z fenders come rolled from the factory. :)

I think black would look a lot better!

:iagree:
What are the price on these and how much do they weigh?

sensi09 04-21-2009 04:19 PM

What's the typical going price for a set of 19s and 20s?
