New Wheels

Digitized · 04-10-2015, 05:02 PM

Hey Guys, I'm looking at getting some new wheels for my Z. I have been looking for a set of forged rims as an upgrade to my stock 18's.
I like the look of Forgestar F14's or SSR GTF01's. My Z is my DD but I would like to track it and not have to worry about a wheel breaking.
But, I'm just looking for some recommendations of some wheels to look at.

Thank you in advance.

if this for stock ride for 19" the 9.5" et22 is too aggressive for the front on the ssr.

Didn't forgestar and gtf01 are forged

The Forgestars are actually a cast, but the GTF01 are forged!

Would the SSR's just stick out to much on the front?

the only listing i see on the gtf01 is 9.5" Et22 for front. u will need to lower the ride to make it look right.

For what it's worth, it is unlikely that you will break a high quality cast wheel even under heavy track conditions.

Forging, as far as wheels go, allows equivalent strength with less material and therefore less weight.

OK that makes sense, thank you.

Forgestar's are rotary forged wheels- a step above cast wheels.
