18" Wheel - Wide and Inexpensive
 
Forgestar F14 or CF5 wheels in 18" are currently $1,280 in custom width and color, Shipped.
- 18x9.5 / 18x11

Enkei PF01 in 18" are $1,440
- 18x9.5 / 18x10.5

Enkei RPF1 are popular - but offsets are not ideal with the Akebono calipers.

There are other wheels which fit in 18" size, but either cost WAY more or aren't available in 9+ width.

p.s. A custom size/offset/width/color wheel for $320 / wheel is a SPECTACULAR deal.

There is Team Dynamics but I think 18x10 is the widest you can have. Also, I came across a company that isn't expensive and do custom offsets, also 18x10 is the widest.

they are around USD1k without shipping as they are UK based.

I'm looking for two 18's to throw on the back (10-10.5" wide) to mount semi-slicks on for when I go to the strip. I'm just trying to find some cheap ones since they will only be used at the strip.

Cosmis racing 18x11 go for around $660 for a pair on ebay?

osbornsm 10-11-2017 02:57 PM

Turns out, Forgestar wheels are on sale this week only for $200 off.

Sold!

Jmatchley86 10-30-2017 11:01 AM

RPf1s come in better offsets. I have a set that clears breaks with no issues. you just have to search for correct offset. You won't buy a full set up, buy backs and then front wheels.

Nice wheels, but too many people have them.

osbornsm 11-02-2017 11:49 AM

Y'all forgetting the last word in the title of this thread...

All we've really found is that Enkei are the only non-custom manufacturer i can afford... when ForgeStar aren't on sale that is.

NorthStyle 11-02-2017 12:53 PM

I'd take Enkei over Forgestar any day of the week and they're lighter with the 18-inch RPF1s in the 18/19-lbs range. Only bad part is you can't customize the widths/offsets...

the SAGAs? They just came out within the last year!

They're still TE37's but with the engraved RAYS logo instead of a sticker

and you can't have "too many" TE37's . . .

Like I said. nice wheel, but too many people have the TE37's. I go to my trackdays. And they are on almost everyone's car. :rofl2: The wheel of choice just about.

Maybe back there, I don't see too many at the track but a lot on style guys. I love my mine and I don't see anybody running 18x11's on all four corners lol!:driving:

jchammond 11-02-2017 11:54 PM

I steered away from the 18” wheel; wanted fat 27” tires & the selection was slim w/18’s.

Not too many people are pushing 315’s on all 4 corners around the track: You have the Hauses to do it!

Haven't had any issue's from my 19x10/12 set-up....just over 10k miles & smooth as glass!
I do have less aggressive offset's than most people use & 27" tires to help absorb bumps/pot-holes.
Enkei is a good wheel & they make the base 18's,,,I chose the Forgestar's because of custom offset's & affordability.
An out-of-round wheel does suck;regardless of what brand it is.

NorthStyle 11-04-2017 01:30 PM

Well, they're good now after paying another company to have the wheels in the condition they should've been sent to me in...

I chose them for the same reasons you did except in the end I only had the custom offset portion fulfilled.

Never heard of that before?!?

I ordered 4x forgestars previously, and they were all gucci @ 19"

NorthStyle 11-08-2017 12:41 PM

Dunno, just the luck of the draw. Even I don't recall hearing of this very often with Forgestars, mainly issues with the finish of the wheels due to powder coating problems. Either way, once is enough for me.

osbornsm 11-08-2017 02:30 PM

So as a real wheel-related discussion...
  • My fronts are 9.5
  • My rears are 11

I'm thinking tire size 275 / 315

Thoughts?

Jmatchley86 11-08-2017 02:36 PM

OP you can get RPF1s in an almost perfect offset, i have a set at home. I believe they are +15 9.5 front 10.5 rear. Don't have any pics yet, they were only on the car briefly after i wrecked my G to drive them home. Didn't have any issues with them clearing anything. As soon as i put rubber back on them they will be on the Z.
