326M wheels Vs. Forgestar F14's

AAAArrrrggggg! I am going back and forth between these two wheels and I have two weeks to make a decision and I’m having a hella of a time trying to make up my mind!

I’ve narrowed it down to these two and would like your votes as its easier to vote 1 or 2 rather than post a comment!

thanks to everyone that has helped me get this far!


so I’ve rounded it off to either


option 1: 326M 19" wheels.



or Option 2: Forgestar F14 19"






so let’s see what the masses think is the better way to go......


sorry guys for making these but I do appreciate all your guys help and opinion's, picking wheels for my cars are like getting jewelry for my wife, I’m there for hour's

Put the 326Ms up front and Forgestars in the back. Problem solved.

326M on one side and Forgestars on the other.

326M look better, but the Forgestars are lighter. What's the price difference?

same price 1500 for either set both brand new so their you have it ...it basically comes down to style as at least I know I will be able to get the BMW rim for a while and it won't be discontinued any time soon ...but the lighter rim also makes a difference as I'm not an M in tourqe

Personally, I do not think you can go wrong with either choice.
The 326M wheels will give you are more OEM look than the Forgestars (obviously).

The biggest difference between the two would be quality/strength/weight of the wheels.
If you are planning on tracking your car or are just looking for something more performance based, you cant go wrong with the Forgestars. They are rotary forged, which gives you similar strength properties to a fully forged wheel, and a 15% weight savings over a gravity cast wheel. This is actually the same manufacturing process that BBS/Volk/Enkie use on their forged monoblock wheels. And the best part is that you get this all at a price point way lower than a fully forged wheel!

If you are looking for the OEM plus look at a lower price, I have a great option for you.
We JUST received word today that we are having blowout pricing on these Performance style wheels!

If these wheels are your style, I can give you a really special price.

If anyone is interested in either of these wheels, Give me a call at **************x8000 and I can get you the best deal available on either of these wheels.
