They sell them in a 5x114.3 in custom offsets and don't cost more than a normal set. Modbargains had my custom 17x9 +26 wheels for my e30 to me in 4 weeks in the color I wanted, built to order too.

Planning a set for my 9 when the time comes.
Any idea what a set of 18x10/11's cost from them? Weight?

The last pic I posted is probably slightly higher than I ran at Nationals. I think that is when I first mocked them up. Where exactly are you destroying your liners at? Above the tire?!

So are you currently running a 295 square setup then!?

Forgestar has sales frequently, and especially around black friday. But they are cheap for how custom they are, in the $1400-1600 range for a set. I have 18x12s on the Evo and 19x9s on the Tesla from them.

You don't recall what the 18x12 weighed approximately do you?

Are those prices you quoted their "normal" price or during the sales?

Thanks Dallas!

yes 295 square. I'm currently just logging my settings between 2 set of wheels but would be testing soon. based on previous setups, the front fender liner areas that will rub are around the bumper screw and above the side skirt. I have taken the heatgun and flattened those areas now. What's new is the top/fender lip... i plan to look into that next

Which Forgestar wheels do you have?

I don't see 18x11 or 18x12 on the F14 fitment chart on their website. Or do they have more sizes available than are listed on the website?

?
The 17x9's on the e30 were 18.1? Lbs each IIRC, I know there are posted weights somewhere, I'll try and find. Theyre not super light but comparatively and the fact they sell them in nearly any offset you'd like is harder to beat. My set of 4 were $1300 shipped to me during "march madness" deals they had last year. It was the same price at that time for any of their F14's regardless of width.

They have more sizes, most of their fitment chart just shows actual fitment sizes. They offer the F14s up to i believe a 13" wide wheel in everything from +11? and up to +56ish offsets.

They were 25.5lbs IIRC. My Volk ZE40s are 20.5lbs in the same size.

Yup, heavier but the price is nice and I'd like to think that the weight goes into strength. (I'm only on 10.5s, but compared to the F14s I feel like I could bounce my RPF1s like a basketball)

To add to this for refence, the Wedsport TC105x 18x11 is 19.0lbs. For a set of 4 wheels (between the 18x9.5 - 18x11 inch ranges) it's approximately $2,000 shipped.

Konig Hypergram 18x11 staggered +40 & +15 is $1127 shipped
I think the ideal offsets for me would be +45 & +20, which is not an option

That's dirt cheap! I wish they made an 18x10 as well...unfortunately they dont.
