I just can't do black on black...doesn't work for me. Maybe I'll just buy some 15 RTS and sell my Racestars and ride around on 15s permanently. I can do the black with silver accents like the RTS, but straight black...looks good on cars like that one but it just isn't for me.

I thought the same thing, was looking a RPM505's but after seeing orangeapeels car with the Forgestars on it I have officially changed my mind.

No titanium available. Sigh. Guess I'll look into my other options.

I wonder why they don't offer that finish?

You would think machined or polished would be easier for them to offer. Weird.

All black with a machined face would look pretty slick.

I got them "used" from a part out. They were brand new and only mounted to sit in the garage. I put the offsets in the first post. There are several dealers that can get them for you. There is a link to one of them in this thread as well.

I may have missed it, but what size front tires? Looks great!

Awesome!!! Really liking these. I am thinking of going either 18 x 9.5 or 18 x 10 all around (don't want staggered for road racing). How is the front fit with the 18 x 10 and the 285/35/ZR18?

They rub just a little in the front at a real good wheel turn. Other than that it's a great fit.

Anyone have any ideas what the right offset would be to get 18 x 10 forgestars all around (square road racing set up) on a '02 T/A WS6 with the plan to accommodate everything from 285/35ZR18 Hankook RS3 to eventually a 315/30ZR18 Hoosier A6/R6?

Sam Strano sells Forgestars. When I get a set he will be who I get them from.

According to his site looks like he just carries the F14's. I am sure he can get any of them though. I want to see the super deep concaves on an Fbody.
