Great wheels! Cant go wrong with Forgestar.

Its a nice wheel, I had it on my clk. But the finish will crack/chip if a rock looks at it the wrong way. Was not happy with it until I had them refinished. But overall with the cost of the wheel and the re-finishing, still cheaper than most. TC

I love these as well. The only downside is I have been told that the rear offset on the 19x10 is very aggressive and may cause rubbing issues on lowered cars or if you run a 275 rear tire.

Forgestar makes great wheels, strong and light. I have the F14 in gunmetal, no complaints from me.

Great wheels. I use them for road racing without any problems.
You can order them with any offset you want if thats a concern.

The Canadian re-seller of Forgestar is in Vancouver (Designo Auto) and they quoted me for 4x F14s in 18" at $2080 taxes in , shipping included + 20 cone seat bolts at $5 each.

Delivery is 8 weeks as they are made to order at any custom offset.

Considering ...

When I bought them last year in 18" from ACG San Diego they cost me
$1400 shipped but I had them pinstriped. Less pinstripe they would have
cost me $1200. I received mine in 5 weeks.

You mentioned Canada, I'm not sure if ACG would ship there but it can't
hurt to ask.

The issue for me with Forgestar is that the F14 is not available in an offset for their 19x10 wheel that works for the C63. The highest they make them is 42 which is an issue. If you want 18" wheels then I do believe they make a decent offset. Very strange that the offset isn't available on the 19 wheels. If it were I would be all over them.

Pit-Pony

The Vancouver dealer told me they will custom manufacture in any reasonable offset. Hmmmm.

I might have to call them... that's different than what I was told by the vendors here. Originally, I was looking for a 19x10 rear in an ET55 which is what many 10" wide wheels are running to avoid rubbing and was told this isn't possible for Forgestar in the 19" wheel. Time to do some digging...

I just talked to Peter at ACGSD and the price is now $1360 + $200 shipping

F14s

Front: 18x8.5 et 48 can mount 245/40/18
Rear: 18x9.5 et 50 can mount 265/35/18

Thanks a lot for the tip.

Super good phone service from Peter.

I had gold F14s, and the finish held up just fine. Go for it - just got the CF10s for my CLS (earlier today in fact).

Peter,
have forgestar release F10 in 19" yet?

thanks

gthal

Jack, are these your daily wheels or track wheels?

I spoke to the folks you mentioned and didn't like their response to my questions. Basically that I can run 19s in the aggressive offsets if I pick the "right" 265/30 tire.

gthal

I would love to know this too... I think I am waiting for the CF10 or F10 or whatever they will be called and hope they have decent offsets.

Not sure which wheels I'll use for what occasion over time that's why I'm getting 18s so I can change the tires around the OEMs and the new set at will. I would probably own three sets of tires at any one time (street, snow and track) so being able to change the look and use all tires on any set of wheels is ideal for me.

I'm not a fan of the riveted look of the 10s so I'll stick with the 14s

Call Peter @ ACGSD (San Diego) 877-422-4736 x2
He knows all

ET55 is too tucked and can rub on the inside with a 275

I have have 19x10s with 275 Bridgestone RE-11s in the rear......there is no issue with ET50s in the rear

gthal

I was told the highest offset you could get on the 19x10 was a 44

In any event, wheels on this car are a pain in the butt... two different vendors have told me that on a 19x10 you need an ET55 to avoid rubbing with 275/30. It is so hard to know which way to go with people having success with more aggressive offsets (like you) and other saying they will rub

Pit-Pony

That's why I'm sticking with 18s

JeffDL

I run et 55 on a 10" wheel with a 275 tire on a lowered car. It's really really close but has never rubbed.

gthal

That's why I can't understand how someone can run a 44 or 50 offset and NOT rub?

callmiro

You can't understand it because you don't own the car yet and haven't put either wheel offset on. What is "close" to some people, is way too tucked for others.

I've had 19x10's with ET50 and 275's for 2 years on the car and no rubs (and so have alot of guys in the forum...use the search tool)
