Forgestar Rims

Well, looks like my respect for Forgestar just plummeted. I might not be placing an order at all and forking out the extra cash for some quality SSR Type-F's.

I'm sorry but that left rear is definitely a different color, it's not lighting. Don't accept it. Either make them replace both rears, or make them take back the whole set. Don't pay for shipping on any of it either. They know they made a mistake here, and they should be willing to correct it. If not, take them to a small claims court over it.

Oh and what's up with the lugnut thing? The holes are a different shape than the stock wheels, and thus don't fit the stock lugnuts? Mike, you've installed F-14's on your car already, but with those open-ended racing nuts IIRC. Did you ever get to try the stock nuts on them?

No I didn't ever try the stock lugs. Aparently they are too big for the holes according to Dave. Not unusual for an aftermarket wheel not to accomodate stock logs, especially the monsters that come on the Z.

I don't really care one way or the other, I just want to be prepared rather than surprised when I show up at the tire/wheel place to get everything mounted up. Does anyone know of a specific model number for lugs that will work on F-14s on the 370Z?

Yeah that was my fault I suppose. Looking at it, I thought the stock lugs might work, but I didn't try so I haven't been letting people know that they will need aftermarket lugs.

Anyways, most any aftermarket lugs will probably work. Its the flange washer thing on the stock lugs thats the problem. Any Rays/Project Kics/Muteki lugs will be find. Thread pitch is M12x1.25 for the Z.

I was actually looking to run the same exact wheels on my platinum graphite 370Z (nice car btw). I think I'll just get some Nismo wheels or something else.
