17" F14 interesting. Kinda surprising they kept up with V1 screams.

I'm guessing too soon to ask, but any ideas on pricing? Cheaper than the 19s/20s or they going to jack it up because there is finally a 17" option?

they're going to be priced right in line with the other drag wheels which is much cheaper than the 19s they offer in 6 lug.

I'm not on the Instagram. Does that have any more details about wheel sizes?

Seems like a bad business move. If I have time, I'll drop Pete a line and ask them what they're thinking. Quality 6 lug wheel bearings from SKF are going away and there's no reason not to have transitioned to 5x116 or 5x120.65 by now. There 7 V1s that I know of that merit drag wheels, and I haven't heard from three of their owners in 2 years. For all I know, those cars are wrecked.

As the guy who got the Forgestar F14s MADE for the V1, I'd like some of what you're smoking.

Not for you, if you get yourself banned by advertising.

This whole thread is an ad.

Man. If these come out I might buy some along with a set of the 18/19" so they will match at the track.

I'm totally down for some more sidewall!

the standard F14s are only available in that 19x9/10 sizing.

if you'd want anything else you'd be a 5 lug candidate.

promising for those looking for numbers. why must somebody always stick their nose in where it doesnt belong. like hes trying to get people who are supporting our community to stop. if somebody wants to make something new the people have been asking for go for it.

I'm a bit concerned with the width posted for the rear. Only 9.5? Nearly every 305+ tire is going to want a minimum 10inch wheel.

He's trying to line his pockets, not support the community. If was supporting the community, he'd be working with a vendor to get wheels made that provide a competitive advantage.

when you can get a 275 that'll provide more traction than that 305 will what's the point?
