We can certainly ship the wheels to Hong Kong. We are the primary source for Forgestar wheels on this web site.

Hi Eric, I'm Looking at buying a set of F14's at the moment. That's a pretty agressive offset at the rear... Mind me asking what are the front and rear offsets?

Yeah I was pretty shocked myself. Spoke to COR and they said that the tech took a shortcut with the mounting and thats the reason for all the weight. I painted the weights with matte black and they are not very noticeable anymore.

Now time to wait for the SLR camera pics for some justice

I have been using Armoral's brake dust spray on them which has worked well. It does not damage or add a shine to the paint either. Still though after 5-10 drives the dust starts to build up and its not too pretty. Will probably go with a lower dust pad in the future. Any suggestions?

Bump!

Also, what do you guys think of running CCW Classics. 18x10, and 18x8.5? Textured charcoal centers, polished step lips. Also think about stud conversion..

Something like this.

damn these are nice - just went to COR's site to look at more pics.

Is it me or do these on the porsche look to have a wider spoke pattern?

is it a different application for Porsche?

EDIT - just noticed they are a MESH 7 as opposed to a Mesh 8 like you got - anyone know if you can get them with the lesser spokes for the C63?

What you are looking at on that porsche is COR F1-Precise. The previous pictures show COR F1 Mesh. Here is the difference:

I like the precise a lot better.

Totally agree! I got confused I guess because in their gallery under Mesh they hav them both. Im thinking these would look sweet on an X5M, if they fit.

The Precise is MUCH nicer. Such a subtle change makes a world of difference.

Dome - I like what you've done to the OEM 19" wheels. Nice! By the way, did you weigh the wheels? Just curious how heavy or light the standard 19" rims are.

Thanks Meng! Taking it tomorow to have the coils lowered more. Want to tuck the tires a tad. Cant do it myself, because the rears have to be taken apart to adjust. Sucks.
