Default Finally got my new wheels on - Forgestar F14

After a 4 month wait they arrived in the UK last weekend and the rubber went on a couple of days ago. Forgestar F14 18/19 set up which I sourced from Jason at Get Your Wheels, what a great vendor.

Thank you, I'm stoked! Wheels are 9.5x18 on the front with 265/35/18s and rears are 11x19 with 305/30/19s. Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric A3s (non rf) all round and so far so good, much quieter than my old tyres and great grip in the dry, haven't been out in the wet yet.

Thank you. They are the stock centre caps that have been painted black as I didn't want any chrome/silver on the wheels. I'll be sanding them down soon and adding my own logo.

Thanks Jason, if (when!) I ever need another set of wheels you will be top of the list.

The F14 is a great looking wheel and goes well with your car. Congrats.

Just checked the order, it was 9" on the front not 9.5, offsets are +44F and +53R.

Hope this helps.

Rims and tires look killer!
I just ordered a set of BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2's. It was between them, the Nitto 555's and the Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric A3s.

Nicely done! I can't imagine what a PITA it is trying to get the stuff we have easy access to in the states.
