they do make the f14 in 20x11 +60mm that would tuck in more for a rear c5 application.
i'll be going with 20x12 +42mm to go with my L5 quarters.

Crap, both wheels look tough, I have too choose between black and silver/chrome!!! I am leaning towards the silver/chrome on a silver vert.

hmmm...it appears that the 19x11 +55mm sticks out a little much. it's too bad that they don't offer a greater offset to tuck them in more.

Just thought I'd put them side by side so I don't have to keep bouncing between first and second page. The verdict is still out on this one

the forgestar 19x11 +55mm is not tucking in far enough as shown in the pics above.
the tsw can be had with a 19x10.5 +65mm which should be plenty tucked in under the stock rear quarter.
i'd personally rather have the wheels tucked under the quarter with a proper offset than to have wheels that had a concave look.
that being said, i'm still going with the forgestar f14s because they do work very well for applications which require wider wheels and have the prerequisite wide aftermarket quarter panels.

I AM liking the forgestars a bit better but I'm not crazy about grinding the axle stub as Kerryt1 stated. Very torn as there's more and more choices out there

I have the forgestars. Very happy with them. I did not have to do any grinding or modifications. D2Autosports is a forum vendor last I checked and they got them for me. They can help you with the offsets depending on the size you go. Good Luck.

THanks for the tip. I'd run without caps before I'd grind anything... lol
Maybe after the holidays.... I'd like to return my black OEM wheels to autocross use again.

Guys the grinding is just to the axle stub, which has NO effect on it. Go look at your axle stub, it hangs out way further than needed. Without centercaps looks like below and it looks BAD.

They're both GREAT looking wheels, but when I look at them I am reminded of C5Z and C6Z wheels. The TSW's more closely resemble the C5Z, and the Forgestars remind me of the C6Z wheel. I want to see more pics of both before making a final decision. It's tough because every car in this thread looks great!

Careful with the forgestar wheels. They are known to be soft and the company lowered their load rating due to many people bending wheels. The being said I know nothing about the TSWs but I seem to recall a lot of people jokingly referring to TSW as The Soft Wheel Company.
