Help deciding on Forgestar Wheel
Hello Folks!
I'm considering the idea of buying a set of 19/20 Forgestar wheels for my Grand Sport.
Here are my expectations:
1. A more aggressive look (concave wheels with a flush look on the wheel well).
2. Fill the wheel well gap without lowering the car more than on stock bolts.
3. Upgrade to a 19/20 setup.
4. Keep the Black & Yellow look.
5. Go from 325 Rear tire to a 345
6. Go from 275 Front tire to 285
The budget:
1. Spend no more than $1,700 on wheels
2. Spend no more than $1,500 on tires
3. Spend no more than $160 on TMPS.
The questions:
1. Should I go with Matte Black or Gloss Black?
2. What tires should I get?
3. Should I go with Forgestar CF5, F10 or F14?
4. Where is the best place to buy the TMPS?
What I know:
Best fitment recommended by Forgestar is 19x10 +30 and 20x12 +50

Your car looks so damn good with the stock wheels I'd spend the money on other upgrades....that's a lot of money for not much difference in appearance. ...not sure how much lighter the aftermarket wheels are over the stocks but if you're not a serious tracker I'm not sure weight is even a factor...all that being said they are all sick wheels, car looks great....

I have a buyer for the stock wheels so I'm not going to be spending crazy money. 19/20 setup will make the car look even better!

Same company as I forged and there customer service is non existent. If you buy them at least get them from Keith a forum vendor as he will go to bat for you if there are any issues.
Ohh and go gloss black on yellow,and 19/20 is best combo on the vette. Sell your wheels and tires for $1300 the add that money to your budget and buy some real wheels (hre,ccw) used on the forum and you will be way happier
