Default Looking to buy Forgestar F14's

I'm thinking about going with 18 inch Forgestar F14's. 18 X 9 in the front and 18 x 10 in the back. Does this sound like a good profile? I'm looking to run p255's in the front and p295's in the back.

Also, does anyone know the weight for these wheels? I'm coming from the stock 2002 z28 chrome wheels which I believe are 21-22 LB's. I was hoping the 18's might be lighter.

I'm not sure where to buy them, I would be down to use a forum sponsor or anyone who has the "best deal."

Pm nine ball for pricing/ordering. I'd personally go with a 18x10 front 18x11 rear if it were me though.

I would but wouldn't the wheel weight be too much? I'm coming from heavy 16 inch chrome wheels, but I don't want to gain a ton of weight in the wheel and lose acceleration.

If your worried about that then that would be a good reason to do more to the motor, haha.

Cool, thanks bro, great thread.

I'm thinking about doing deep dish in the back and non deep in the front.

Did you ever weigh the wheels? I think they are lighter than my chrome 16's. The 18 X 9 and 10's that is.

I never did, but I have found the weights before.

18x10 is right about 19.2lbs with the 18x8 slightly less. Weights will very depending on offset choices.
