Have the base 18s not sure if the tmps will fit. Keep us posted im hoping Forgestar's manufacturing snafu is behind them

We ordered the same wheels. I got mine in a +24, +23 set up. Hope your order goes smoothly! As far as tires go, I went with Hankook Ventus, 255-35-19, 305-30-19. I debated going wider up front, but I chickened out.

Just got the call that my Forgestar's are in!!! Having the TPMS installed and the tires mounted/balanced tomorrow morning.

i ordered forgestars... kept telling me they were in stage 2,.... was in stage 2 for about 3 weeks den bam, they send me an email with the tracking number. i was afraid the finish would come out weird, but after inspecting it, it came out perfect. i have no regrets buying from forgestar. sucks for the unlucky ppl who have to deal with all the other scandals though.

My Forgestars are at the house now, since im deployed im relying upon my brother to inspect them and take a few pics for me. I cant wait for my R&R!!!!

I got these in record time tho. I feel for others who had issues!

Only issue I've had is that the center caps don't fit very tightly. First track day and the front 2 center caps are gone

Mine are gloss black on PW but most of the time they look matte black because they are covered in brake dust. Everyone thinks it is a very aggressive looking combination.

So it sounds like Forgestar might be turning out for the better? I assumed they became too popular, too fast, and had troubles filling orders efficiently.

Caravanshaka · 08-17-2010, 08:27 AM

glad to hear they are fulfilling some promises now

Did you purchase directly from Forgestar, or did you use a vendor? Personally, I didn't wait for them to contact me. I shot them an email every few days to see how they were coming along.

That was the same theory I had, as well. They were bombarded with orders last year, and they just couldn't keep up. I was given a quote of 6-8 weeks, and it took 7.

So you got your wheels ResQguy?

I don't physically have them at my house, no. I ordered them through AE Performance, and they called yesterday to tell me they had them, and that they would be ready today. They're even dropping them off at my house.

I ordered from modbargains.com, same as res0zsfa. They claim to be right down the street from forgestar and have a good relationship with them. They also said 2 months or so. Hopefully im half way there

Well good to hear Forgestar is starting to meet demand finally.

I ordered from AE Performance, and they're in Chino. Originally I was going to use Modbargains, but they were going to make me pay in full, in advance. AE let me pay half up front, and half after the wheels arrived and were inspected. That was the deciding factor for me. Plus, I have a few friends who drive BMW's who cautioned me to avoid Modbargains due to customer service issues. Let me know how everything works out of you.

Agreed. Can't wait to get these things mounted.

ResQguy · 09-05-2010, 04:13 PM

After about 2 months, my Forgestar's are finally on!!! I'm really glad I went with the piano black instead of the flat black. I'm getting tons of compliments on the car already.
