Unique Bronze 19" Forgestar F14's
 
Ok, selling the Forgestar wheels I've had on for about a month. I think everyone knows the story on them, but you can search for "beware forgestar" in the wheels section to take a look if you don't know the story.

After using the wheels for about a month, I got the wheels fully blasted, and powdercoated in Tiger-Dylac C33 Metallic Bronze. The are 99.8% perfect, with maybe 1 or 2 tiny grains of dirt that got into the finish as it was curing. You'd need a magnifying glass to find them, but I am being up front so there are no questions.

It's hard to capture the color in pictures, but I did my best. It is a metallic bronze that has a gold tint to it in direct sunlight, but in shadows it looks like a very dark bronze. I think it would look fantastic on a black or red car, I just decided to keep the matte black on my car since all my accents are black already. Specs are standard 370z fitment, and you can see how they fit on my car in any of the photos you see of my car with gloss black wheels.

19x9 + 24 front
19x10 +20 rear
4 centercaps and 4 hub-rings included

$1,250 shipped anywhere in the continental US.

***** Wheels have been sold as of 12/17/09, Thanks! *****

***By the way, the bronze finish covers the entire surface of the wheel, the edges of the wheel are being protected by a plastic lip protector to ensure that they don't get nicked while handling the wheels***

Wow, after all of that and these are getting sold. They probably just make you angry every time you look at them.

PS - I think we need pics of all 4 wheels to make sure the colors match :eekdance:

LiquidZ 12-07-2009 09:30 PM

I think you picked a great color for those wheels.

racerxj17 12-07-2009 09:51 PM

pics of the lip up close? machined, or just stripped off the paint....

ive been trying to buy these for a long time from you:tiphat:

edit- pics of all the wheels together so we can see if they are the same color LOL

lol, they are all the same color, I can get more pics if you want, but it'll have to wait til I get home and have some time.

The lip is not machined, that is a plastic edge protector to ensure no damage to the wheel while I move it around for pics. The finish goes all the way to the edge of the lip.

what are the factory offsets of the sport wheels? meaning, even those these are the same width is the offset better suited for filling out the wheel wells?

factory offsets are 19x9 +47 and 19x10 +30 if I recall

You can see the fitment in the pic below, but they are MUCH better. The rear could use a 10mm spacer if you want it REALLY flush. my new wheels are 19x11 +24 and they are about perfect, that would be 8mm out from the bronze 19x10 +20

here are pics for fitment with no spacers:

Color looks great :-) Too bad they were not the 19x11's, I really want a wider wheel then stock to fit my 305's.

and TY as well :tup:

Originally, I wanted stock sizes since 305 tires were more expensive and I wasn't planning on doing enough mods to support the need for 305's. These offer perfect fit for stock tires if someone wants to swap their RE050's to these wheels after purchase and save the cost of new tires.

Bump for sexy rims!

No no no! I just had to mention something about their color not being the same :p

the matte black looks better on the white than the gloss black, that's for sure...I'll try and get pis when the weather stops sucking.

Bronze wheels are boxed and ready for shipment next business day after payment! :tiphat:
