Alright guys I'm gonna make a new thread and run a crazy special for you guys....

Godfather@ONE Autosport

Normally 4 to 6 weeks. We're looking to ship out by the end of January for all orders placed now.

Godfather@ONE Autosport

Here's the offer for you guys!

https://mbworld.org/forums/group-pur...entercaps.html

CALLMIRO and Benyl, I see that you're in Canada. Shipping is a flat $99 for you guys.

I don't want to hijack the thread but I got them for even cheaper at modbargains.com (now the price is the same as this one) and no need for a group buy =) Call and ask for Kevin and tell him Karl from Montreal sent you he'll give you the best price.

BTW delivery times are more 6-8 weeks than 4-6.

Good post. You should always shop around to make sure you are getting a deal. You can even do better than modbargains if you check some other forums.

Acute Performance and/or Trinity Autorspot (popular BMW Vendors) will beat any price on Forgestar.

chief63

Good I'll bookmark their sites. I didn't see the F14 on Trinity Autosport website, maybe you have to call. I got mine on the black friday week from mod bargains and got some good additional discounts.

Anyways mine are on order since the end of November (with matte black finish). I'll post some pics when I get them installed this spring with the KW V3 suspension on my obsidian black c63. I think it will be a great combination and "sleeper" too!

Godfather@ONE Autosport

Man, you guys are a real piece of work. I give you THE BEST deal on Forgestar and you come up with other nonsense. Superlubricity, are you gonna crap on every deal I give Mbworld members and follow me and say "oh you can get this for cheaper here, don't buy from Godfather"? This is getting petty at best. I'm not out there trying to rip people off guy.

$1,399 is the price EVERYONE sells Forgestars are. NOBODY can sell them for cheaper, that's simply impossible as it would be in disagreement with Forgestar's price structure.

I offer FREE SHIPPING. Mod Bargains offers it for $99. As for Acute Performance, they sell them for $1 dollar cheaper than me. ONE DOLLAR. really? Go ahead and buy from them then if supporting your Mbworld vendor isn't a big deal then.

Also here are the specs from forgestar for 19" wheels on the c63:

19x8.5 et40 for the front and a 19x10 et50 in the rear

For tire size:
245/35/19
275/30/19 (275 is the max that will not rub without fender work)

It's 30% in the back cause the tire is wider. Using 35 will not be looking as good for a low profile tire.

Hope this helps!

chief63

Don't worry godfather your price is very good especially with free shipping.

I bought 2 items from modbargains (including the wheels) and got a good additional discount, maybe it was all taken off from the other item.

Chief,

Thanks for the info, however what was your source for the offsets? It seems that is the question many of us are concerned with.

Anyone think Matte Black on a Palladium Silver car would be a good choice?

chief63

You're welcome. For the offset, the source is Forgestar themselves once they reviewed my order. After making hundreds of wheels for our car they must know =)

My brother has seen matte black wheels on a silver c63 car here (do not know exactly which silver) and I remember he had told me they looked amazing. Photoshop is your friend!

For all wheels 19" and up, I find it's a must to have a lower suspension, it looks so much nicer and the wheels seem bigger too. Include that in your budget!

Can anyone do some photoshops of different sizes/ colors on black, and a silver car? That would help alot of us out.

chief63

Here is ghetto one I just did, can't see the brakes but gives you an idea. BTW this is not my car and these would be 19" wheels matte black.



For a silver one here is a link to some very similar wheels from HRE (with silver lip) not sure if its gun metal or matte black http://www.vividracing.com/forums/ga...3/840c63-1.jpg

I'm not a big fan of having a different color lip for the matte black model. The full black is just killer =) Also the silver from the brakes will balance it out, unlike in the pic!

Even Money

I'm thinking gunmetal or matte black for my 040 black car. A photoshop of the gunmetal would be most excellent. Thanks!

chief63

I'm not going to do them all but here is the gunmetal one! The inside of the wheel (lighter) won't be this bright in real life. BTW if anyone has a PSD of AMG brakes already cut out that would be great! Even a side pic of brakes (without the wheel) will do it for me.

However instead of going gunmetal, to get a little shine, I'd go titanium for an even better look. Check out for the forgestar website for all the colors and more pics to give you an idea.

Since I also have the stock rims aside for winter, the matte black gives the car a different look than if the wheels were shiny. Everyone has seen shiny wheels on a benz where I come from!

Even Money

Thanks! I thought about titanium, but I think it will have too much "bling", I'm trying for something a bit more subtle, that will flow with the color of the car better.

chief63

Well they look like standard wheels but change color depending on sun light. Subtle would be gunmetal or matte black. BTW the center caps in my pics are the old ones, the new ones are black (carbon) and look pretty good.

Wow, you sure are wound up. On two occaisions (in this thread, not started by you BTW) I have communicated some of my research with fellow forum members, never once directed at you. That is what this community is all about; members helping members. When you chose to solicit your services in response to one of these communications I simply replied with facts.

Godfather@ONE Autosport

Thanks. It is true that ModBargains had a special discount a few weeks ago. So no worries!

I appreciate you helping your fellow forum members. I just felt that I was being attacked that is all. I guess I was wrong, sorry about that.

bushburninc63

Those f10s in silver would look fantastic on the c63, too bad I'm straying away from modding my car. :o

Can anyone photoshop the f10s in silver on a white c63, that might just tempt me to get it. :o

chief63

Ok bush burning I'm feeling generous this time of year. Here you go! It looks pretty damn good too. This is Charleszai's car from Puerto Rico! (thanks to him)
