Default New Forgestar F14's Thanks Get Your Wheels :)

18X9.5 +50 fronts, semi-concave. 19X11 +53 deep concave rears. Tires are Hankook Ventus EVO V12 K120's, in 305/30/19, and 265/35/18.

I got these from Get Your Wheels, they are a forum vendor, and they are top notch man I've had kind of an obsession with these wheels...getting the right fit, and color specifically! I plasti dip my car regularly, so the color could be anything hahah! Had to go with a color that would suit whatever. Jason at GYW was awesome during the whole thing he really helped out a lot. Plus! It shipped a whole WEEK ahead of schedule

More pictures to come! Car is in the body shop, so next week, Monday or Tuesday.

Man, those wheels look great. What is the color on them - they would go very well with my electron blue car.

The color is what Forgestar calls Satin Bronze. It's a fully powder coated finish, which includes a perfect finish on the drum as well, inside, and out. And DAMN...are they light

I love these wheels but if they actually fit flush they would be so much better...

Hence the +53 off set, instead of your usual +50/55. Did my research here

yeah, I did my homework as well. did you order these as a special offset? please let me know if they fit within the crown as I may switch them then. What about the front? My fronts actually stick out as well which I did not expect. Although I got used to them this way I would pay more $$$ to make it 100% perfect. They are awesome wheels though.

Love the color and the wheels but as tabbruzz said, I haven't seen a good fitment on a C5 yet.
I hope yours proves me wrong!

Really? look at the Forgestar c5 fittment thread. Also, a couple extra degrees of chamber never hurt anybody, especially if it means tucking the last mm in at the top.

Can you define "good fitment"?

FYRARMS,

would it be too much to ask for what lowering kit you have and how much negative camber you have dialed in? I am lowered all the way on stock bolts and it's not enough to bring the wheels in enough. I will try a lowering kit if I have no choice...

That red car just nails the F14 look.

OP, when can we see pics of your new wheels installed?

Soon the only thing I'm waiting on, is that the clear bra guy couldn't make it out on Firday, but he will Monday! Here's hoping for Monday.



Here's what it's going on

The F14's look killer on C5's, and I'm really digging the Satin Bronze color as well. Good choice. Interested to see how they look and fit when mounted.

To New Forgestar F14's Thanks Get Your Wheels :)

I wasn't trying to insult anyone guys, I've owned numerous C5's with aftermarket wheels. The fact is it's hard to get a fitment that's flush with the wheel well lip (which I consider proper fit) that's all. I love the Bronze wheel and might consider it for my TR Z!

The bottom pic of yours looks good! What's the info on them please?
