Forged wheels alternative..

[Blk2015GT]

Depends what application they are for. If track purposes then weight should be top concern. TSW makes some nice lightweight wheels that aren't very expensive at all.

If a daily driver don't be so concerned over weigh. You're talking maybe 10 pounds per wheel between cheap ones and the $800-1,500/wheel setup. You won't lose much except money.

Frankly my car is solely a daily driver so I went budget and got Niche 20x10s with Nitto 275s and TPMS for well under $2,000. I personally think paying 4 grand for wheels/ties is insane at 10% of the cost of a $30-40k car.

So what?
Everyone and their grandmother owns a mustang. Is that going to make you sell yours and pick up a station wagon?

LOL I shouldnt have been drinking water when I read this

Its not that i mind the price so terribly, its that the wheels see so much abuse and if i can find a cheaper alternative ill go for it.
The enkeis look good!!! Theyre winning so far! Thanks

I would pay upwards the 3k mark for volks or some tfw chicanes/sebrings

I have some WORK cr2p's on order. They are 20x10 and 20x11 with the stepped lip.

The wheels themselves are a bit more than 3k but high, high quality as you know.

Just another option out there.

Here are mine with the stepped like and GT Silver centers.

If you really like the jdm style wheels buy used! Go to evolutionm forum classified or the Lexus, supra, rx7/8, 350z/370z, s2000, Sti, or gtr forums. The mustang shares the same bolt pattern. You guys are tripping over the price then don't buy new. It's so funny to me that people see this style wheel fall in love then start losing their mind at the price and trying to figure out wheel offsets and tire sizes. It's simple math. Buy used then use simple math to figure out if it will fit.

doesn't mean every mustang needs f14s, much less every car in the world. isn't whole point of getting aftermarket wheels at it's core is not to have the same thing everyone else has?

don't get me wrong f14s they were even on my list and are nice but I even live in a area where a lot of customized cars and there are plenty for f14s to be seen around... even seen them on range rover evoque's.

then there's xxr which really are every where lol

but this forum is a good example of how many mustangs have f14s and that's what personally turned me off.

to each his own

No offense but if you live in pothole land, $3k is alot to spend on wheels. I'd suggest 18" just for the extra rubber.

Exactly.....to each their own.
Idc what everyone has in their car, if I like it it's going on my car.
I love the concave curve of the f14, I also love the fact that they are one of the few that offer a 20x11 wheel.
OP is looking for a budget friendly light weight wheel. Who better than forgestar?

Consider this a noob question, but what makes the these wheel sets 2-3k over say some sub $200 a piece wheels from american muscle? I'm just curious as someday i'd like to switch out my rims but i don't particularly want to spend an arm and a leg.

The process in which they are made. Forged wheels are a lot more expensive than a cast wheel. Materials also drive up the cost of what the wheel is made of.

Any real benefit for a DD to go with forged over cast?

Forged are much stronger wheels and lighter (reduced unsprung weight). All depends on your needs and your budget.
