Auto Talent | New F14 AND F05 Wheel from Forgestar Custom Flow Formed Wheels
We very excited to release the worlds first custom flow formed wheel series manufactured by Forgestar. Over the course of the last few years the wheel market has exploded, however there is a pretty large divide from a pricing and performance aspect. Most of the cost effective wheels have 1 or 2 fitments and are heavier. Most of the forged custom wheels have infinite fitments, are lightweight and run the cost of a average mortgage payment!
FORGESTAR Wheels has been launched to bridge this gap while offering: Quality 'Flow Form' Construction Light Weight (approx 24lb for a 19x10") Custom Fitment Cost Effective Price Point. Here is some info about the Flow Form Casting process, which is a hybrid of forging and casting, and is used by companies such as BBS and Enkei: Flow Forming is a production procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. The pressure and turning then force the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim. During Flow Forming, the rim actually "flows" down to create the full rim width. During Flow Forming, pressure applied to the cast rim actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and impact values become similar to those of a forged rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel. Bolt Pattern from 5x108 - 5x130 TPMS Compatible Clears OEM and Aftermarket Large Calipers PRICING: MSRP - $1950.00/set INTRODUCTORY SPECIAL PRE ORDER PRICE - $1399 A SET OF 4 F05 comes in three finishes gloss black with polished lip, gunmetal with polish lip, and black and brushed two tone with polished lip 19x8.5 offsets from +32 to +47 19x9.0 offsets from +26 to +44 19x10 offsets from +26 to +44 19x9 +38 offset approx weight 24.5 lbs 19x10 +26 offset approx weight 23.5 lbs clears front and rear BBK F14 comes in three finishes gloss black, gunmetal, and hyper silver 19x8.5 offsets from +26 to +46 19x9.0 offsets from +20 to +44 19x10 offsets from +20 to +44 19x11 offsets from +33 to +55 19x9 +38 offset approx weight 24.7 lbs 19x10 +26 offset approx weight 24.1 lbs clears front and rear BBK Hyper Silver |

It looks to be a wide range of fitment patterns so it looks like 5x120 is offered. How is the 19x10 lighter than the 19x9? And please let's get some wheels like these in 20."

It not only fits but you can still run some spacers for a more aggressive setup.
