TSW Nurburgring vs Forgestar
I am looking at getting a set of TSW Nurburgring Gunmetal w/Mirror Face or Forgestar F14 Brushed Titanium... both are fairly new and reasonably priced at 1100-1400. Does anyone have any pics to post up, or experience/thoughts with either of these wheels? POST 'EM UP

no experience yet but i am planning on getting the f14 in 19x9 & 20x12 in gunmetal pretty soon.
either way that style of wheel looks great.
btw, post pics of both wheels in this thread so folks who don't know what they look like can see them.

I don't think you can go wrong with either one for the price, but I'm smitten with the Forgstars...they make the car look racy, yet still classy.

You WILL have to grind down the axle stub to get the center caps to fit however. I measured the interference at roughly 0.060" and ground off about .125". No problems now.

Thanks. I haven't found that to be the case. I don't have a picture on me at the moment, but the fitment is pretty good.

If you get a shot of the car from the rear I would love to see how "flush" they are to the rear fender.
Thanks !

WOW.. i was all ready to get the tsw's from Santa.. but i am digging those forgestars.
The tsw's are around 1200 delivered for the 18-19's and they are super light (under 24lbs for the 19x10.5's)

kerry your car looks great.
i am biased, but i feel the forgestar has the "proper" offset and look for our cars. the tsw has no concave which i love about the forgestar, it gives them dimension.
here are some of mine from my original thread:
Some had asked for pictures of the rears and how far out they sit, here they are:
