I've never cared for the transformer look on any badges, so if it were up to me, I'd stick with the forgestar center caps first, then the stockers depending on how easy they can be utilized. Although, your car is super clean and makes me want yellow calipers.

Did you have to do any conversions to make this headlights fit??

Plus the passenger side ballast is out so it was just one more reason for some new lights.

With the new ones in, I'll be going for this look.


You remember which ones you ordered? And did you have to do any conversions to plug them up?

Not off of the top of my head, I don't. I don't believe there are more than one type that are the black housing, dual halo setup. As far as conversions, no. I had to wire in the HID setup, but my plug fit the housing, just have to cut and splice in the +12v power and the ground.

What tire pressure do you all have in your F14's? Hankooks specifically

The Hankooks have a higher max psi than stock tires so you cant really use the "sticker" on the door jam. Or can you?

My tire sizes are:
245-40-19
285-35-19

thanks!!

just talked to them and put in an order for blacks f14s. they have the parts and 4-6 weeks out assembled. any thoughts on having the rears made 44 or 45 mm offset rather than 42? lowered with d2 coil overs and don't want to rub on quarter lip. i know linea crappas have 47 and known to rub on inside.

I too have the KW's(no f14's yet), just curious what your front fender height is at the top of the arch? Mine's 25 3/4 inches.

I apologize if it has been answered already in this thread, what is the recommended tire size for the 19x9 and 19x10 when lowered on H&R Springs? Do I need to get my fenders rolled or pulled?

Does anyone know if these available to ship out immediately? Thanks!

I ordered my wheels last week and I think they said they had one set in titanium ready to ship. (mine were brushed Titanium and I think was the last set in stock in that finish)

According to UPS mine will be dropped off tomorrow

Oh and it seems as though everyone is running:

245/40/19 up front and either 275/35/19 or 285/35/19 out back...

If you are lowered, yes you will need some fender rolling.

So like what was said before in this thread, be prepared to add two weeks to whatever time frame you are quoted. I am in no rush but was quoted 1.5-2 weeks from Pete at Forgestar and my order status says 4 weeks. I can't wait to get them!
