Does anyone know where I can find a set of Forgestars at a good price? Both vendors who carried them on here seem to have been banned.

Also, if I decide to go ahead with the F14's, would you guys recommend matte black of piano black? I'm leaning towards the Matte finish, but I'm looking for your opinions.

Thanks guys. I think I'm probably going to go ahead with a set of the F14's. 19x11 has sparked my interest. I'm not that familiar with offset and tires sizes though. And the risk of being flamed (I'd really appreciate it if you could hold off), what offset could I safely run on my car with rolled fenders? I'd like the most aggresive stance possible. Also, what size tires would you recommend? I'd like to go with the Ventus V12 Evo's. Thanks a ton!

#2

Not feeling how the gap between two spokes in #1 widens (whereas the gap in #2 narrows)

I've seen the Five Axis in person and they look fantastic, but just looking at the pictures now, the Forgestar rims definitely look more expensive. They're a bit lighter as well. The other thing that's pushing me towards the Forgestars are the fully adjustable offset. Further input?

That is why they are the better choice

How much of a difference does 2 or 3 pounds per wheel make in terms of performance?

#2 look too much like the Infiniti rims. I personally think the less spokes the better it looks.
