Default Forgestar F14's

Got my email with my tracking numbers for my Gloss Black 14's can't wait to see them! Too bad it won't be able to see them in person until March but at least I have them now.

Just made my day! I was thinking about having them get put on while I'm out here but I think I'm going to have to hack off a little bit on the axles to get those specific caps to fit. All together with shipping was 1660

Wow for some reason I thought they were in the 2500 range. I may have to snag a set of these unless the run is claimed.

Well with these you have more color options and I didn't like how Team Dynamics is embedded into the side of the wheel. I was going to go with Matte Black but when I saw how great the gloss looked in that review Forgestar did, I was Sold on gloss. I think this batch already has been spoken for...I got put on the list back in October for this.

Yea color options are nice. I'm going to end up getting just black though. The TD wheels on eBay come in black.

I missed the list for the forgestars due to funding issues lol. I really want a set still. But wheels will be done of the last things I do.

Just hit up Peter at peter@forgestar.com and ask when the next round will be...they charge half when the materials come in and the rest when they're ready to ship. I like the TD wheels when I first saw them, but then I decided to get my stock wheels powdercoated instead. Another thing with the TD wheels Idk if they have center caps, that'd drive me crazy.

I dont really care about the centers... I want em for track duty. And the forgestars for some street dress up. The look great in that gloss black.

Makes perfect sense! I've been neglecting my car lately due to weapons projects, I need to get a cam and some heads this year.

I'd love a set of forgestars but this Peter guy doesn't seem to try very hard to make them available to v1 guys, that wheel design isn't getting any younger looking so that kind of wait time is a pretty big turn off unfortunately. I have to admit I love the matte black ones though, ooooh children..

Make sure to post up if u eBay the TD wheels. Pretty sure the auction says only 2 black sets left n I'm ordering a set in march. Sooner if there's just 1 left.

They've supposedly come with center caps since 2007, btw.

No biggie. I know that was the case at one time. I'd do the forgestars if they would do a run of 18's. Being in PA I'm not keen on tiny sidewalls.

In all honesty I'm probably not going to get any for at least another year. Wheels and tires are at the bottom of my list. First is motor and read end swap. Bit I'll let you know.
