I like them. Unfortunately, they didn't seem too interested in helping me when I contacted them so I plan to look into other brands.

Wondering who you dealt with....
I too found that I had to go back and forth on email countless times to get my questions answered directly and completely. Never did get straight answers that left me feeling comfortable with the purchase. I ended up feeling like I was "gambling" with the purchase and how the set would turn out. Didn't like that at all. In addition, I just kind of felt like my business wasn't all that important, or like he was doing me some favor...or something like that.
Still, with Forgestar - hard to find a better looking, good quality, strong wheel set for less than $1400.

I believe I corresponded with Peter. I was interested in the new super deep series. I know the offsets are close to not working but I want to run an aggressive offset and possibly flares. On my calculator they were very close to working. I was mostly just told they won't work and never got a reply when I asked about pricing.

I went with a different vendor but 1st Rate Corvette was a recommendation for a forum vendor. They can get you pricing and they know their stuff when it comes to rims it seems.

Thanks for the referral, I believe we spoke several times about your particular needs. Pictures look great! Guys we are Forgestars Corvette specific dealer however we do not like to make recommendations unless its a set up we have either completed for a local customer or if Forgestar has completed a set and have confirmed fitment with that particular customer. It is true that they have multiple selections with offsets but we go with what works! If you have a particular offset in mind you can contact Forgestar directly or simply request for us to see if they will build that offset. Forgestar is extremely busy as they build wheels for Porsche, BMW, ETC. and the F14s are a very popular wheel so it can take a day or so before we receive word back from them. Im sure they can build whatever you may want but the 18x9.5 50mm and 18x11/19x11 rears with a 53mm is what Forgestar recommends. Please pm, email, or call with any questions. Keith

Keith, you were...well...first rate to deal with.
If it weren't for buying from a local buddy, I would have used 1st rate. Thank you for your help, it was much appreciated. Hope to do future business.
