Forgestar F14 vs. Work Emotion CR-KAI - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Robert95g · 12-12-2013, 05:13 AM

Any opinions on which of the two wheels look better cause I am torn between the two? The work emotions seem impossible to find so I was thinking of replacing them with the rota torque but none the less, split 7 poke or split 5 poke I cannot decide!

I resent my F14's simply because almost nothing for lug nuts fit. Even with the smallest Muteki spline type lug, the key will eventually damage the holes. I even got the smallest profile inside-hex lug nut ... which wasn't quite small enough to not rub the sides.

Keep looking, there's a lot more wheels that fit what you are looking for. Don't bother with Rota, buy from a company with some originality that has also truly earned their certifications for spec.

maybe enkei?

Aren't F14s much cheaper and are actually forged and not cast? Two good reasons there.

The marketing got you.

They are not forged the way you are thinking.

Care to explain?

Indeed. Please explain! Inquiring minds want to know...

buckets · 03-09-2014, 01:01 AM

i think they are flow formed like the enkei rpf1's

ericmpena · 03-09-2014, 01:01 AM

I think the F14's look much better.

cycleboy · 03-09-2014, 11:07 AM

I say F14's, but I'm partial:

Essentially this, the original cast wheel is heated, and then compressed with rollers into it's final width and offset, so it's a hybrid of forged and cast. Which is A) why they are so light for the size they come in and B) why you don't pay $4000 for a set of wheels

I like forgestars because they are all custom. You can run the proper offset so you don't have to run such ridiculous camber. People running 18x9.5 +30's should look into these.
