Default My new wheels-Forgestar F14's Textured Black Wheels-PICS

Just Had them mounted w Nitto Invos 285/19's & 345/20's. The ride is soooo much smoother than with the run craps. I wasn't expecting such a huge difference, figuring the lower profiles over stock. What pressure are you guys running??

I may lower it a bit. Eventually i'll do cf front splitter and side skirts.

The textured black is in between high gloss and mat and is exactly what I was looking for, not to shinny, not to flat.

I'm running Invos and now have about 9,000 miles and they are wearing much better and they are much smoother. I'm running 30psi all around.

Looks great

The wheels look great. I run the same size tires and run 30lbs cold in all 4 corners. Congrats and your ride is way cool.

Look great. I run the same tires on Dymags and keep the cold pressure at 30 psi. Great grip and no problems so far.

The black wheels and a CG Z06 make for good eye candy.

Thanks! I bought them for the design first and foremost. I've always liked a split spoke wheel, and I like the fact that the f14's are slightly concave. I almost went with Zr1/Z06 Carbon wheels, but thought they would be a pain to clean. Here are a few more pics for those of you considering these, and a pic of my last vette with split spoke Mallett 396's.

They are priced under 2k for the set. I picked mine up off of ebay.

There are a couple of forum vendors that apparently sell them.

These are beautiful wheels! I like the F14Fs a bit more because of the deep dish; however, they don't make the rears in Z06 sizes

I also wish they would make them in 12.5-13 rears. I really love the ones on the VY Z...this is the same car I have!
