Forgestar F14's on a Black Cherry Z
I had a set of F14 Piano Black installed this week. I bought the wheels back in October. So after two months of staring at them in my office, I can finally stare at them on my car. The specs and first impressions are as follows:
Front: 19x9
Rear: 19x11
Offset: +20
Front Tire: 245/40ZR -19 Continental ExtremeContact DWS
Rear Tire: 285/35ZR -19 Continental ExtremeContact DWS
I love the look. I ordered a set of Akebono's 40th Anniversary Red BBK's from Z1 Motors last weekend; they are having some difficulty receiving the parts for my order which is delaying its shipment. I should receive them before the New Year, though. I can't hardly wait.
The cabin noise is significantly quieter than with the stock 18's on Yokohama's Advan tires. I mean it's a night and day difference between them. The ride is ultra smooth. I drove 100+ miles yesterday and I loved every minute of it. As I've said before on this wonderful forum, the ride is as smooth as Jame Bond picking up strange. Now that's smooth. They handle like a dream, gripping the road like they were on rails.
I am very pleased. The wheels and the tires, especially, were worth every penny.
