Looking for Forgestar F14's

Verbal21 · 07-19-2012, 03:39 PM

Just wondering if anybody else is still waiting on their order? Its been 2 months and if I had known I was going to miss out on having these this summer, when I ordered back in May, I would've definitely went in another direction.

Unfortunately May is one of the busiest months for wheel manufacturing companies. For comparison sake, I ordered mine in late February and received them in late April. Who did you end up ordering from?

I ordered from Scott here because he told me he'd only need a month and that was sooner than all other sellers here. He's usually good with communication but last I heard from him was last month and he said another couple of weeks, and he never answered my texts earlier this week so frustration is slowly creeping in since we're almost in August and I still have nothing.

I contacted Scott(RA) last year from a post he had in this thread, it took quite some time for him to respond to my email (this gave me a bad vibe). He also accused Vivid racing of using an old pricing structure and I thought that was a greasy sales tactic. Vivid honored the lower price and I was not pleased that Scott advocated he could meet or beat anybody elses price. I was going to keep this to myself but...I work in sales and it really p----- me off when I see someone make a sale then break communication because they know its already finalized. While I can imagine Forgestar is pretty clustered right now, there is no excuse for poor communication.

My experience with Vivid Racing was good, it was still a 2 month wait but the communication along the way was first class. For future owners looking for F14's please check out all your options and don't take anybody's word for anything...find out for yourself!

Post a pic here when you get your wheels!

^^ Very true, I have come to see that pattern of wheel companies being busy in the summer months.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new for Forgestar. They've always kept their customers waiting

Half the reason I bought my F14's was because they were already at someone's garage and were shipped within a week.
