New wheels

[Crew4991]

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.

Was thinking the same thing. Only time will tell.

New rims? They are waiting...

There’s a couple of car eaters around here too, one by my local CVS. I’ll try to get a picture of it next time I’m there but no joke it would consume at least 3/4 of one of my 20x10 summer wheels.

The CF5's no. The failures are CF14 I believe.

l hope not. I read a lot of reviews and they were about 90% positive. I didn’t buy them from the custom shop that mounted them and they said they were great quality wheels. I’m only using this set in the summer and the stock pp1 with all seasons in the winter. Plus my car is not abused at all. I have never even done a burnout. It’s almost four years old and only has 5000 miles.

I've done the same. Pilot All season 4 tires on the PP wheels for the colder months.

You are right, but it’s not my daily. It’s a Sunday car. It has never been driven in the rain or snow. I don’t even know if the windshield wipers or washers work. I know I’m too anal. I do love to drive it.

Soooooo mine is also not a daily, waited many years to get the GT. Me, I enjoy Sunday drives, Car'n'Coffee, Mustang meets and such, I also track it because I want to go fast the way Ford engineers designed the car to go. And it's crazy fun too 'cause it legal to go over 127mph with my top down (with a roll bar).

I kinda only drive mine on the weekends as well. But I do take road trips every so often. Mine has definitely been in the rain, don't like to drive it in the rain but not a big deal to give her a bath when I get home... 7k miles in 9 months. Of course I put 40k a year on my daily driver

They look great! Congrats!

 

[Joedag1]

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.

What brand spacer did you use and where did you get them

 

[compprep]

Eibach, direct from them. Actually putting on now. Break to have early lunch!

6 full turns on lugs with this spacer and the CF5's. Yes it's very dirty!!!
