Just installed the Forgestar F14 wheels today on this Mercedes E55
Staggered 19" Forgestar F14 wheels in Matte Black with Custom Offsets
Michelin Pilot Sport tires
19x8.5 fronts
19x10 rears
This is the first set of Flow Formed wheels, and first set of Forgestar wheels we have brought in. Here is my honest feedback.
These are pretty nice, and tough to beat for the price. Dont quote me on this, but I think MSRP was somewhere around $1,800 for the set. These are custom built to order. They were actually completed and shipped to me before the promised deadline. These wheels are pretty light weight, and didnt need much to balance out. I was impressed. So, in closing, if you are in the market for new wheels, but wanted another option besides a cast wheel, or a 3 piece, consider these.
The 19x9 and 19x10 E60 fitment should be released around late August. I believe 20"s are also under consideration.
If any local Northern California members are interested in a set of these for the E60, please PM me.

Those rims are sweet. Is it less expensive if they are not custom built?

Or maybe I mixed the info. I guess the 20" version is coming out shortly. ![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)
