Ran them on my C6GS. Totally worth it for cost/durability ratio. I'd say they're better than OEM and don't break the bank.

Forgestar makes fantastic wheels. @VibeMotorsports has a good selection of wheels. I'm toying with changing mine up for spring.

I don't ever recall ever hearing of a Forgestar wheel bend or failure that was not collision related.

Default Rotary Forged

How about the Rotary Forged wheels that sell for $1869 for set of four?

You'll probably have an $1869 experience. If it were me I'd drop the extra for Forgestar.

I've had my F14's for only 6 months now so can't really comment on the durability but I've seen quite a few people running them as track wheels.
