Default Forgestar F14 Pictures

Below are a few pictures of my Forgestar F14s in gloss black (17x8.5 with +35 offset in the front & 17x9.5 with +40 offset in the back - stock rear end). I had trouble finding pictures of these wheels when I was shopping for them, so I figured I'd pay it forward. I'm very happy with the fit and finish of the wheels, needed very little weight to balance. The portion of the wheel that mates with the hub has a slightly larger diameter then it needs to which required me to grind a little bit of my front calipers. I didn't have to take off a lot of material. Probably about 2 minutes with my Dremel on each caliper. The car is sitting on BMR lowering springs for those who are wondering.

The wheels are pretty light weight. I went with 245 wide Falken tires up front as they were 23 pounds each and the lightest tire I could find. I wanted more meat on the front tires and didn't want to run skinnies. The front tire and wheel combination weighed about 42 pounds. Out back are 275 wide MT ET Streets which are pretty heavy. The rear tire and wheel combination weighed about 48 pounds.





Cheers!

I like the gloss so much better than the matte

Looks great! Love seeing more F-Bodies on Forgestars.

For reference, my 18x11 F14's with R888's came to a total of 52lbs.
