X3 and 2012 C coming soon
They come with hubcentric rings, plastic per other forums, and require different lug bolts due to the different seating requirement. Other forums also talk about balancing issues due to their construction, light weight and rings used. Some vendors are more open discussing and revealing these issues than others. In the end its a forgestar issue that isn't passed on to their dealers. IMHO $0.02

Different lugs don't bother me, but I'd rather have hubcentric wheels because of some balancing issues I've had in the past. Also, those plastic hubcentric rings deteriorate from heat over time. I am curious why they don't use stainless steel like some other manufacturers. Thanks for the info. They do look great though.

Well I finally got my Forgestar F14 wheels in that the new brushed titanium finish. Just took some quick pictures with my point and shoot.
I ended up going with Falken Tires 235/35/19 in the front and 265/30/19 in the rear. I was a little worried it might rub with that tire in the rear, but so far no problems
