Sifu · 01-13-2010, 11:57 AM

What's up 1ADDICTS! I got the ok to run a Group buy with **********s for the F14's in 18" with CUSTOM OFFSETS and 4 different finishes!!! That's right! Whatever offsets you want whether square or staggered, you got it! YOU DECIDE!!!

Available finishes are:

Gunmetal Finish

Matte Black

Piano Black

Brushed Titanium

They are also VERY light:
Weights

•18x8.5 ET48 - 17.6 Lbs.

•18x9.5 ET48 - 18.4 Lbs.

•18x10 ET42 - 18.2 Lbs.

•18x12 ET68 - 20.0 Lbs.

I just bought my custom offset 19" F14's from them and LOVE em! I wanted to get a square set up and figured why not try the F14's out. So here's the deal:
Retail is $1249.00
GROUP BUY PRICE... ONLY $999!!! Plus *shipping and applicable CA tax. $250 SAVINGS!!!!

*Shipping: Per **********s website $99 standard within CONUS. International will be determined by **********s. Orders will be shipped from SoCal.
Catch...need 16 buyers to get this going. Once I get 15 more confirmed buyers the order will be processed. ALL payments will be sent to Kevin at **********s directly. Once Kevin gets all the funds the order will be sent. Wheels come with carbon Forgestar center caps or $30 more for BMW caps. These will clear BBK's up to 355 and NO spacers needed! *Depending on what offsets you order*

***UPDATE***
Group buy price is now set at ONLY $999.00!!! I will keep the list open until January 25 until 5pm PST.
**********s has now set up this GB on their website to take your order directly by clicking on this LINK
Please list as much detail to your order as possible so they can have it ready. Please list your car info, bore size, offsets, color, forum screen name, email, and CONTACT #!. Kevin, Alan, or Ron will call you back by Monday January 25 to go over your order and email you a special order form that needs to be filled out and sent back to them. If you are unsure about offsets, that's ok! They will assist you when they call you back to confirm your order.
Feel free to pm me with any questions or concerns

ETA COULD BE as early as 4 weeks turn around IF we send the order on 1/25. Forgestar will have enough barrels to accomodate this GB. As far as the concave look, as the wheel gets wider the more concave it will get. I've looked at TONS of pics of 9", 9.5", 10", and 11" widths and it seems that the offset doesn't really affect the outer portion of the wheel.
We NEED 16 CONFIRMED buyers to get the GB price of $999
Here's the prices if 16 aren't met:
5 CONFIRMED buyers $100 OFF retail price
10 CONFIRMED buyers $200 OFF retail price
16 CONFIRMED buyers $250 OFF retail price

*** UPDATE ***
You can order any bore size between 5x108 - 5x130 as long as it's an 18" wheel to get in on the GB price.
I already got some requests for Supra's and Honda's for the Daily drivers...

Pics of my Matte Black 19"s: 19x9 ET 32 & 19x11 ET 25 lowered on Ground Control Coilovers / GC camber plates / GC ARCA's -1.0 camber up front and 1.75 camber in the rear. I even weighed my 19"s before installing them. Fronts weighed in at 24lbs and rears at 25lbs!!! Not too shabby for 19"s!

Any questions on offsets or concerns with order feel free to pm me. Just send me a pm with what color, offsets, and if you want the BMW center caps ($30 extra).
Here's some info about the wheels from the **********s website:
**********s is proud to offer you the BRAND NEW FORGESTAR Wheel Lineup with the latest technology in wheel production to bring you the best of both worlds. This brand new lineup utilizes a combination of the best methods of forging and casting methods both in the same wheel. This is called Flow Form Casting, and is used by companies such as BBS and Enkei. These wheels are made to order and can be made to fit your BMW with a large range of offsets.

Flow Form Casting is a production procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. The pressure and turning then force the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim. During Flow Forming, the rim actually "flows" down to create the full rim width. During Flow Forming, pressure applied to the cast rim actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and impact values become similar to those of a forged rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel.
