Forgestar F14 Weights...?
I'm trying to find the weights on the F14 and can't seem to get an answer that makes sense to me, nor can I get through to Forgestar via email - I've gotten bounced back by every email address on their site.
I inquired on weights for a set of 9.5 X 18 front/ 11.0 X 18 rear (18 NOT 19 rear) for my C5 Z. I was told the front 9.5 X 18 weighed in at 17.5lbs which is very light, but believable, and fantastic if true! But for the 11.0 X 18 rear, I was told they came in at 26.5lbs which makes absolutely no sense to me. I used to work for one of the most well known race wheel manufacturers and know that a 2.5" width difference does not equal a 9lb difference when the wheels are the same diameter.
If the 9.5"s are actually 17.5lbs, I would assume the 11.0"s would come in around 19.5-20lbs... Can anyone verify and/or clarify these weights???
