I do not have a set of those wheels, but I have not read about any issues with them either.

We're a dealer for them and haven't had any issues for the sets we've sold.

Just replaced my Factory wheels with Forgestar if I was tracking my car a lot probably would have gone fully forged but since I'm not I like the F14s

They are a great bang for the buck wheel. Not as light as a fully forged wheel but they are a fraction of the price. I've pounded a set of 18" F14's around the track going on 5 years now.

As long as you're aware they seem to be "forged" in name only, you'll likely do fine with them.

I just called Forgestar directly and they told me Forgestar has NO rims to clear C7 CCB brakes
the 19" CF5V front rims I have clear the CCB brakes but rub both 285 Cup2 and 295 R7 (which were corded)

BECAREFUL
Ask for guaranteed fitment or 100% money back
...........I did not do that BUT I will in the future
