Forgestar F14
I'm getting a set, I was going to use my work bonus, but now I have to wait for my first time home owner check to come in as my bonus has been used on home stuff...Im going with 19x10+20 front with 19x11+33 (plus 5mm spacer) rear
Very sharp looking wheel indeed. That 370Z needs either better offset or more tire though, cause that rear stance kills the look of those sharp wheels.
Oh, and IMO 25lbs isn't light.
Edit: Look at the difference between the front and rear tires on the 370. The front has some sexy tire pudge, and the rear is mildly stretched. Is there something I'm missing or is this a justified "what was that guy thinking" moment?

Just been browsing and there new MAT process is bringing the weight down below 20lbs...
Anyone could chime in who fought the newer version of the F14!
I'm liking 18x10 +23 18x12 +36! = $1380

forgestars are spun formed, instead of using heat to align the metal molecules, they use pressure so they all face the same way again.. i will submit to you that the wheel barrel itself on thse wheels is insanely thin and light. The wheel center is what it is, a chunk of aluminum.. but they are still far lighter than the Iforged multi piece in the same equivalent size. Are they an 18 rpf1? no.. but damn close.
Id also like to say that 25 lbs for a wheel is not ultra light no... but its not really heavy either. its quite good in fact.
there are many many wheels in the 30 lb arena out there that ppl roll all day long.
The factory wheel and tire combo was around 50-55 lbs if i am not mistaken ( well, im not.. i just dont recall exactly the number) .. and a set of F14s mas good mass areas and will drive very nicely.
My 20x12 F14 with Pirelli PZero 325 25 20s is stil the same rolling diameter and weight of the oem 17" wheel and tire combo..
OP, go for it, they are dope.. they make a brand new wheel tho, deeper concaves.. wish i would have held out personally. Ive had my wheels all summer and have n never even seen them (or my car) yet.

I just ordered mine in matte black. Total came out to 2500 or so for 19"s with Falken FK452s mounted and balanced and center caps and valve stems for them. Not a bad deal at all IMO.
I think i paid 1700 shipped for my wheels alone, 20x9.5 and 20x12 Bronze Burts.
King.. i got a few pics of mine in bronze, but the tires i had in them were waaaaaaaay too small.. stretched on a Veilside? Eek.. not good. At all.
I have 325s on them now but of course, i havent seen my car since June.. so no clue how that panned out.
Wish id have waited for the new wheel that just came out, it offers better rear offsets for fitments like mine, and better concave back there too.. its always something damnit.
