Forgestar rims for Sale
I am selling a complete set of Forgestar CF5 Deep Concave Gunmetal Gray rims. Center caps are included.
The fronts are 18*10 and the rears are 18*12.
I ordered these last year for my ZR1 and they have been replaced by another set of Forgestar rims I recently purchased on the Forum. They are in excellent shape with no rash on them and they do clear the ZR1's CC rotors.
New they would be $1,600 but I'm selling them for $800. 50 cents on the dollar is a very fair price so please no low ball offers.
Thanks for looking

Sorry everyone I was at Lassen National Park since Friday with no cell or internet service. Rims are sold pending payment. I will update on Tuesday afternoon.

When I inspected the 18*10 front rims yesterday I noticed 2 parallel lines on the inside of the rims. I put one of the front rims back on the car and while nothing scraped it appears that at some time the rims must have rubbed against the brake caliber. Sorry but I can not sell the rims in this condition. Guess I'll just buy a set of drag radials and get ready for our upcoming " Vette Magic" drags in Sacramento on September 25th.

Forgestar said the calipers were scuffed because there is very little clearance between the
CF5 rim and the caliper and road debris could get lodged in this space and cause the scuff marks on the caliper. I can understand that response but that does still not explain the two symmetrical lines embedded in both CF5 front rims

Easy answer... The scratches inside the barrel of the wheel are caused by pebbles getting in between the wheel and caliper. All of my 18" wheels have them and it's nothing to worry about.
