No experience with that brand of wheel, but they do look good in the pic.

Woah those are nice - wish I could answer your questions but I will look forward to hearing from someone who can...

Can you buy them with tires mounted?

I'm gonna get them this spring. I think they'll look good on my shadow gray GS.

Well I guess I will be the guinea pig on this one. I just ordered the FF10's at Discount Tire (who had to get them through Tire Rack since they are exclusive to them). Actually got them for less than just through Tire Rack too.

Default warranty info tire rack wheels

Could not find warranty info for Forge One Competion Tire Rack wheels. When I inquired was told 1 year on finish. Anyone know if there is a warranty on build quality?

Yes, it is on their website:https://www.forgedonewheels.com/infocenter


"Warranty
Any and all Flow One Wheels purchased through Tire Rack will be free of any workmanship and manufacturing defects when purchased online. All Forged One Wheels feature a Limited Lifetime Structural warranty. We also offer a 1-year warranty for factory-applied surface finishes and wheel accessories supplied in each wheel package (center cap and aluminum valve stem). All warranties are non-transferable if wheels are sold. Please reach out to Tire Rack regarding warranty claims (which must be supported with proof of purchase). "

Please keep us posted. I plan on buying a set next spring and would love your opinion of them. I will replace the center cover with a black C7 crossed flags one unfortunately the only ones I can find are all plastic

IMHO, I would never get painted wheels again after my 2015 C7. I got really bad curb rash and could not find someone who could recondition them because of the paint. Replacement or nothing. Getting Chrome wheels reconditioned on my 2019 C7, is no problem. I think they look better too. Makes the whole look pop. I did eventually find someone who does spot touch ups who can make curb rash on painted wheels look like new. So there’s that to consider.

Will do. I don't know how much I'll be able to tell as far a durability until it warms up but you can be sure to hear from me in this thread if I run into any cracks/bends as I wasn't really expecting to drop $3,000 on wheels this year but if these are durable, I'll be thrilled to not have a cracked wheel every other month.

For what it is worth, I am not sure what the typical load ratings are for other forged wheels but one of the pictures on their site seems to indicate that for these the load rating is 1520 pounds. I know that some of the flow form wheels I was looking at had around a 1200 pound load rating.

Chrome or painted well it depends on what your looking for. With my shadow Gray 2019 GS I'm looking for classy not flashy While Its just a matter of taste and likes IMO I want her classy with the gunmetal/graphite look. Some Corvettes look real nice flashy but it's not for me. Here in Brooklyn there are two places I know of and maybe more that will recondition and repaint cube rashed wheels

Hey Senior (@edspec) - are those FF10's fully forged by any chance? Just curious. I like the look!
