I received the set of Forgestar F14 Flow-formed wheels about 2 months ago, but didnt open them until recently since I was very busy.

thank you www.forgestar.com for the sponsorship!

Matte black 18" x 10" on all corners, only 18 lbs each

they'll be wrapped with Nitto NT05 295/35/18 which will be perfect for my application

Here are some sneak peak photos....

Nice, should look great on your car

thank you!

We are mounting the Nitto NTO5s 295/35/18 Monday afternoon. I waited about 2 months to get these tires since I really like them. They were in national back-order for such a loooooong time.

Finally the first pair arrived from Nitto last week, and the two tires will be arriving tomorrow.

Then hopefully, mount them on my car before Christmas

great looking wheels. The offset looks pretty small, are you using spacers?

SKY888 · « **Reply #6 on:** December 19, 2010, 05:43:37 PM »

As much as possible, I do not want to use spacers.

the offsets are all the same on all wheels, so I can rotate them. Very aggressive offsets.

We will try to fit them to my car and hopefully, everything clears, and only rolling out the rear fenders will be needed.

So we'll see what happens....

I'll give an update one we test-fit them.

Those are sweet...I am looking at the CF5's that are being released in January. Let us know how the fitment is.

Nice Wheels, I see they come in colors too for special orders!!! Hmmm... White and green maybe???

Sly Bob · « **Reply #12 on:** December 20, 2010, 01:54:30 PM »

A powdercoater could take care of that...

Nitto just hooked me up with a set of Nitto NT05 295/35/18

They'll be responsible for putting the power to the ground.

fresh from Road Force balancing.....

Those are some purdy wheels and tires!

I assume they won't be much good in the rain?

Jim

SKY888 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 21, 2010, 08:44:43 PM »

thank you.

I used NT05s since last year (rain or shine) on my sky (thinner version)...........they're pretty good.

that's why I chose them again

Any idea what the comercial price of these Forgestar F14 rims is? I know, I know, call them and get a quote.

I called and was quoted around $1200 for the F14 in 18x9 front and 18x10 rear in piano black.

Steve, going wider than your current set-up..... huh?

Sly Bob · « **Reply #19 on:** December 22, 2010, 01:53:14 PM »

I see that the narrowest wheel is 8.5" wide. Ya' could use stock tires on that with no difficulty I would assume? Too bad they don't have anything in a 18" with a lip.

spicy3480 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 22, 2010, 02:37:58 PM »

They do, but it is not flow-formed...it is forged.

The CF5's that are coming out don't have a lip, but they recess as they get closer too the middle of the wheel, just like the F14.

Sky888, I think I might go a little wider, simply for the look of the stance, and because I might go with the 19". The recess on the 19" is a little deeper, and I really like the look of it. Reminds me of the wheels on the concept Solstice.

18.5 Stock tires would fit, you can go up to a 255
