Forgestar F14's?
 
Anyone rocking these on their frs/brz? I've seen them on some show cars but I wanted to see what they looked like on an average joe car without the wings/bodykits etc.

I think he said these were 10's all around but doesn't look it.

I plan on getting a set once i get my car :D

I really like the looks of these but I'm wary of Forgestar from reading on a few forums that people have had issues with wheels bending easily and never balancing properly from the factory.

I've read the same about some balancing issues, they aren't incredibly expensive but for what they cost there shouldn't be any problems. I think their service is generally pretty good but have heard stories as well about having a hard time with warranty claims. ModBargains is a big dealer for them hopefully they can chime in here.

Was given this picture and when I asked about all of the weights I was told it was the tire. I said that a tire cannot take that much weight to balance. I like the rims though.

The BRZ above belongs to @dvsidboy

If he could give specs on his wheel/tire setup and more pictures that would be greatly appreciated

I ordered mine back in December. Hopefully it will arrive next month, crossing my finger. I'll post pics once I put them on my car. :)

Damn, i wanted CF-5's so bad.

I think i'll risk them and get them, every company has product problems.

My buddy has a set of Forgestars, they have been perfect since he opened them about a year ago. For the price, not much beats them.

Wow, I was looking to get this wheel for my Boss and FR-S. This thread and some research just killed my interest.
