Default New Forgestar f14's installed

Afternoon all! Had to share with the community....

Just got my new Forgestar F14's in from getyourwheels.com and cannot say enough! Went with factory 18/19, the matte gunmetal as opposed to black, and couldn't be happier.

Eric could not have been more helpful in getting me sized up properly and getting the wheels out quickly. (Under 3 weeks!)

Boxed incredibly well, almost too well in fact, with even the lugs individually wrapped.

Very satisfied, and highly recommend both the F14's and getyourwheels.com

Nice, thinking of these also in 19 x 19…..

What offsets did you go front and rear?

I have 2 sets of F14s. For the price they are hard to beat.

I'll be honest. I don't know. This is the default offset that Forgestar suggested for me. They fill the wheel well nicely with zero clearance issues. I contact Eric and get his opinion. Very knowledgeable.

Thanks, are you running stock 18x9.5 or 18x10 for front?

Rear, 19x12?

Depends on the wheel width how the offset affects where the wheel sits within the fender. But the short answer to your question is yes.

Keep an eye on those wheels. I was interested in them until just last night. A lot of guys have reported the F14's develop cracks on the inner barrels and leak air. One guy even had 3 wheels cracked all at the same time.

Forgestar actually increased the load ratings on their entire lineup about 2 years ago due to a few isolated cases such as the ones you mentioned. Since this, we have no heard one instance of a cracked Forgestar.
They also have a great warranty, and we work closely with them to get all our customer's issues pushed through!
