Default Forgestar wheels-quality?

Thinking about getting a set for my C7. Was concerned about reports of cracking and warranty service after doing research on web.

Anyone have direct experience or knowledge on these issues. Also any other information on them and/or forum vendors is appreciated.

Forgestars thought well of here....no real problems reported, not to be confused with Forgeline, a more custom wheel company. In the forgestar price bracket, look at TSW too.

Check with gerry at wheelsforless or ben at weaponx....

I have 19" Forgestar F14 rims on my Viper. About 3000 miles on them. Have not tracked the Viper with the Forgestars yet, but very happy with them and love the look. Will definitely put some on my C7.

Thanks for the pix. They look great. Somewhat similar to TSW N'burgs I think.

I ran them for a couple years on my C5....they are well-made. I have a source that beats most if you are interested.
