Forgestar F14s: I want some feedback from the club!
So, those of you that know me know I took off my staggered Maya ST5s because they we're beat up and I was tired of spending a fortune on tires. Yet, here I am looking at a staggered set of 19" wheels again. The 19" rims just make the car look so much better. A buddy of mine is selling a set of 19" Forgestar F14s. The rims are 19x8.5 +26mm in the front and 19x10 +30mm in the rear. We tested fitment with my spacers on and it seems like they will fit fine, maybe a 5mm spacer in the rear.
Anyway, I wanted your guys feedback on these rims. I plan to get them chrome plated immediately, because right now they're red
I don't think I have ever seen a set of chrome plated F14s, and I have only seen them on one other 2GS.
Here is us testing fitment in the rear. Please excuse the dirty car, I was doing donuts in the dirt just before we took this (it was right after I installed my TC)
Haha... I was actually thinking of getting mine chromed for a while but the chroming + shipping costs put me off of it. I think they'd look good though.
Personally I hate chrome, but whatever floats your boat I guess. I would sand blast the whole wheel (it should look fully machined) then gloss smoked clear coat it. It should end up like this
They're nice wheels, I personally have a thing for brushed aluminum with a clear coat. Gives a nice depth to the finish. Finish is all personal preference. Those are smoothe though!
