my local wheels guy spoke to forgestar and they suggested to go ET54 in the rear instead of ET53 as mentioned in the 1st post of this thread.

anyway, 12 weeks lead time. now the waiting game begins.
in case any other international folks are thinking about buying from forgestar, i suggest you reconsider that decision. i for one am super disappointed with their service. as per my local forgestar dealer the lead time was said to be 12 weeks back in february. it is now mid august and the wheels haven't even been shipped yet!

- first the delivery date was moved from may to mid june. alright, no prob, i was expecting a delay anyway since i live in europe.
- then mid june comes around still no info what's going on. whatever, **** happens.
- another update mid july: they're supposed to be shipped any day now. cool!
- next update end of july: my local vendor told me forgestar is now saying that they had to completely strip the paint because they were not happy with the color of the wheels (how come they only realize this now?). however they should be shipped within the next two weeks. finally!
- it is now mid August and the wheels still haven't been shipped. i'm pretty sure by the time they would arrive car season over here is over.

i was really looking forward to the wheels but i've now cancelled my order and will be looking elsewhere.

That sucks. At least you had contact. The dealer I bought from took my money and never sent the order. After 10 weeks (6 week lead time on making them) I contacted and they showed no record. Luckily I use paypal for everything.

Hey brother good to see you are still on the forum.

This is Jake i was over at the other shop when i did the set up for your Corvette and so many other on here.

They did released the Drag set up for the rear.
They should be here in about 2-3 weeks in stock.
The fitment they have is the 17x10.5+65mm.
For the fronts they are yet to be produce, but they did mention to me that they buil a 17x8.5 at the moment.

Did anyone with a Z06 have issues getting their rear 19x11 wheels to clear the brake ducts? I have the wheels mounted on on some 305/30 tires and they rub on the brake ducts which I had to remove.

They shouldn't rub, unless your brand/model of tire measures wider than the norm. What are they?

What is the offset of your wheels?

Kumho Ecsta PS91 265/35ZR18 97Y BSW with Forgestar F14 18x9.5 wheels
Kumho Ecsta PS91 305/30ZR19 102Y BSW with Forgestar F14 19x11 wheels

The rear has ~ 1/2 inch of poke, and the front has probably ~1/4 inch of poke.

Can you post some pics? I have been considering the PS91, so I am extra-curious about the fit.

Did you order the standard C5 offsets? 50mm front and 55mm rear?

What's even funnier is that I had that exact same car (color also) before moving to my Q50! I would actually still have it today if someone didn't rear end me and total it out.

Mine is a '13 G37X with 62K trouble-free miles. When she reaches 100K, she will be traded in for a Q50 Red Sport 400. It is hard not to love these things as daily drivers!

Josh, how are the Black Friday sale orders coming? I am sure my F14 order is taking longer because of the custom brushed/cleared finish, but just curious if we are getting close. Thanks.

Most of the early Black Friday orders are getting built right now so yours should be in queue to be built next.
