My Car on new 19" Forgestar F14 Brushed Titanium

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

I already have the Eibach pro kit springs, but I am adding the Euro Technik carbon fiber front lip first and I want to make sure its not going to be too low to drive everyday.

thanks guys. i really like the rims a lot. they fit silver perfectly. They are very lightweight also. I put them on my bathroom scale and the front was 22.8 lbs and the rear was 23.2 lbs. I think that is pretty light for a 19" wheel?

Those are nice wheels. They seem to fit perfectly. I was on Mod Bargains looking at the gunmetal verison and there appear to be many offsets, but they only list 18" for Mercedes. Could please list your offsets? Also, what is the centerbore? Are you using hubcentric rings?

Thanks.

Very Nice Look!!
They look like great quality wheels...at least from their video. How do you find the qualilty compared to stock or other aftermarket wheels?
How about the weight?

Thanks.
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
