Introducing Forgestar CF5 Concave Wheel / ACG San Diego
As you may know, Forgestar has been a popular choice among Mercedes Benz owners. Forgestar wheels are manufactured by the process of flow-forming which makes them much lighter and stronger then your average cast wheel. In fact, flow-forming is the process by which most BBS wheels are manufactured.
What separates Forgestar from the competition is the fact that you can customize the fitments of the wheel for any car (customizable offset, bolt pattern), you can choose a custom finish and that they cost very little for what you get! In the essence, Forgestar wheels fill the gap between fully custom forged monoblock wheels and the cheap, heavy cast wheels.
CF5 is the newest design from Forgestar. It is a timeless classic 5-spoke design with a concave profile. We can only make several sets in 20" Brushed Titanium at this point but more coming in within few weeks.
Pricing, Images etc.
In-House Wheel / Tire Packages Available (see how we do it)
We personally pick up your wheels from Forgestar manufacturing facility to double check the finish quality before we ship them out. This is why we can do the wheel/tire packages with no extra shipping charges.

We are now taking orders on the following setups:
18x8.5 F 18x9.5 R
19x8.5 F 19x9.5 R
20x8.5 F 20x9.5 R
they can be done in 4-5 week after you place the order. Custom finish is now a standard option!
Here is a 20x10.5:
Here is the demo wheel hanging on our wall at the shop. This is 20x10.5
18x8.5 F 18x9.5 R
19x8.5 F 19x9.5 R

And if you can simplify define concavity as the ratio of depth / radius of the wheel. For a given width and offset, smaller wheels will give you a more dramatic concavity than larger wheels.
So, if I'd ever get these, I'd definitely want 18's over 19's+
(to make a more dramatic statement)
Then again, I am completely making this up from my intuition, so if I'm thinking about this wrong... let me know

To my understanding (for a given offset), the wider the wheel the bigger the concavity.
