Introducing the first Mercedes-Benz with Forgestar F14 wheels!!
World exclusive: This is the first Mercedes-Benz vehicle to adorn a set of Forgestar F14 wheels. Extremely popular since they came out in February 2009, Forgestar Wheels have found themselves a favorite of the Audi, VW and BMW crowd. Several Porsche owners have also made the Forgestar choice.
Having owned countless sets of wheels on my previous and current rides, one thing I especially looked for was TPMS compatibility out of the box, strength, ease of care, reasonable weight, and most of all, killer looks
After having sold my OH SO SEXY HRE's, I had a difficult decision on hand. I considered going forged with several companies( CCW and iForged amongst others), but decided to give the Forgestars a try. I won't lie, being the first Benz with them, I was a big apprehensive as to how it would look and how the offset would be. I was spoiled with custom tailored wheels that offered flushed offsets, so the fact Forgestar offers custom offsets is a plus. Although, I simply told them "I want my tires to clear, no rubbing, and a nice flush look." And they succeeded royaly. The offset is dead on with my previous set of HRE's and I was VERY pleased.
By the way, I am no on their payroll, and I truly speak from an enthusiast point of view. You guys have known me for years, and if I rant or rave about a product or company, I have reasons to back it up.
Alright, enough talking. Here we go: Forgestar F14 19x10 rear, 19x8.5 front, unknown custom secret offets, Tires: Toyo T1-R 275/30/19 rear, 245/35/19 fronts.
Check out the sexy concave on the rears!!!!!
Thanks for Peter and Vince at Forgestar and Stan at Toyo. The wheel and tire combo is remarkable!! Not to forget, Luke @ Tire Rack for the TPMS sensors.
Enjoy:
Mods: I'll add this post to my build thread but would like to leave this thread by itself as well. Thank you.

I like them, they turned out better than I thought they would but any concave mesh wheels seems to be the cup o' tea lately. I remember when I got my P40's in Jan 2008 (they were on the car in dec 2007 dealer installed 
) they were the talk of the town and still are kicking butt today.
Nice acquisition.

nice
love the concave, I would love to see the new logo design. The current one looks mickey mouse. Can't beleive Vince even went with that logo in the first place
I will be waiting for the 20 to come out
How do they ride compared to the HRE's
It seems mono's feel more sturdy on the road
