LOL!!! Didn't you know, race cars, AutoX, etc run a 5" wide rim with a 185 series tire.

The only negative I have on Forgestar is their warranty/customer service. When one of my wheels arrived warped (zero damage to the boxes) they refused to replace it unless I made a claim with UPS stating that it was damaged in shipping. Basically they insisted I lie so they could be reimbursed for their defect.

Then it took another month to get the replacement wheel.... Love the wheels though. ;)

I have 20's. They are really nice.

Price shop the vendors here. I sent the same email to all the forgestar vendors. Price and fastest turn around was what I was looking for. [email protected] was one of 2 of the lowest priced. Another vendor had the same price. But Jason claimed a much faster turn around time. So I went with him. His claim of 3 weeks was blown outta the water when then showed up in 12 days
Appreciate your support Anthony!
Happy we were able to get your set out ASAP! We average just 4-6 weeks on a build as long as everything is in stock!

Forgestar wheels are one of the best bang-for-the-buck wheel options on the market right now. They're light, strong, and include a custom powdercoat finish!

Who did you buy from? You should have been going through your dealer. I bet it would have been smoother

I did go through the dealer and they were quite helpful, but because it was drop shipped by Forgestar that was the only option available to me.

I'm sure if I wanted to put up a fight and possibly delay things even further (I had already waited 2 months for the wheels) it may have been different.

I went with forgestar for a couple reasons:

- lightweight
- custom finish choices
- custom offsets, widths, and diameter

I went with 19x9.5 squared cf10's. Wide enough to fit a 275 well and rotational to get the most mileage out of the tires. I don't see the point in running 10"+ wide rears to run 305mm+ wide street tires. If you want grip then pickup a set of drag radials. But that's my opinion of course.

Help me understand.

My wheels on the Performance Package are 19x9 and 19x9.5

Why did you pick 19x11? What does that do for you?
Wanted the 295 MPSS tires and when they are released the 305's. Basically more rubber on the road.

Love them. Still looking for a center cap solution because I want the flush caps.
I have a set of 20" Bronze Burst Forgestars on the way, and this is the first I'm seeing about center cap issues... What is the issue??

TIA!

FWIW my 20" BB F14s had perfect center caps.

Also another shoutout to [email protected]. Very good guy to work with! Got my Forgestars very quickly.
