New wheels

[Joedag1]

Today I had my Forgestar CF5s mounted. I went for a test drive and I can’t believe how much quicker the car feels. I never thought it would be that noticeable compared to the pp1 stock wheels. I’m 66 and I was never a fan of pp1 wheels, they were too hard to clean, always were dirty. No hate on black wheels but they were just not for me. The CF5s are gunmetal and the fitment is awesome. I’m very happy with the way the car looks now.

Pics tomorrow if no rain. I’m beat I had to bring the wheels and tires to a shop with a touch free machine with my truck. Pick them up this afternoon. Then swap out the all seasons with the pp1 wheels for the PS4S with the new forgestars not so easy at 66.

I have a question, I think the front wheels may look a little better with 5mm hub centric spacers . Can this be done safely without extending the studs

Make sure you get us the spec's on wheels/tires!!

Yes. Mine are 19 x 10 +42 offset, 275/40-19 PS4S. I use a 5mm spacer (front only) and still have enough thread engagement.

Everything is stock pp1 as far as size the only thing that is different is the offset on the new forgestars

Congrats on the new wheels. I agree on all your points. The PP wheels are impossible to keep clean and the murdered out black wheel look is way over played. I went with gunmetal on my new set and am very pleased. They are 20's so a lot easier to clean for sure.

It sounds like you had a great experience with your new Forgestar CF5 wheels! It's always exciting to upgrade your car and see a noticeable difference in its performance and appearance. The gunmetal finish on the CF5s sounds like a great choice, and it's great to hear that the fitment is perfect. It's understandable that you weren't a fan of the pp1 wheels and that the CF5s are a better fit for your personal preferences. Enjoy your new wheels and the improved driving experience they provide!

I have 5mm spacers on my 2019 GT350. Had them the past few years. Just slip the spacers on, nothing else. Also have 5mm spacers on another brand of perfromance car. Same - no brainer.

I hope these aren’t the same Forgestars that are having a rash of cracking spokes and ultimate wheel failure. There’s a recent thread about them.
