FS: Forgestar Wheels F14, E82 Custom Fitment, R888 Track Tyres 17"

[John_01]

Set of 4 Forgestar F14 wheels in excellent condition.

Front wheels:
17x8.5" ET38, with Toyo R888 245/40/17
Rear wheels:
17x9.0" ET52, with Toyo R888 255/40/17

The Wheels were only used for 5 Track day events starting in February 2015. The weight of the wheels is 18lb rear, 18.4lb front.

Toyo R888 Tires still have life left. (Tyres are 2013 production date).
The tyres were purchased new in May 2015, and used for the final 3 track day events. There is lots of tread depth as shown in the picture below.

The offset of the rear wheels is ideal for 255 tyres. To fit the R888 rear tyres with stock fenders, you will need to add rear camber to avoid rubbing. Street tyres would be an easy fit.

The front fitment is aggressive. To fit the R888 front tyres you will need aggressive front camber and roll the front fenders. Street tyres will need some added negative camber and will be ok with stock fenders.

The wheels were ordered with custom offset specs from the USA.http://www.vorshlag.com/
The price I paid was USD1340 for 4 wheels, plus USD560 shipping, plus AUD305 in customs and taxes etc.

Sell Price for the wheels is $1,400 including tyres.

If you prefer me to separate, please make a good offer for wheels only.

Pickup only. Sydney.

Why has no one bought this yet? I'd be all over this if I needed a track set of wheels.

If anyone is just interested in the rear wheels ONLY for drags for their 1 series, I'll be happy to purchase the front wheels and use on my e90 3 series as rears for the drags. That way whole set can be sold. We can just negotiate a price for wheels only as we can purchase drag radials independently.

just a thought

17x9" rear rims should be pretty good for the drags on a 135i or M235i.

I figure I would be lucky to get much more than $200 for used R888s if I dump them on ebay. I would be looking for $1200 for the wheels separately.
