**********s | New Forgestar F14 Wheels - Very Exciting New Company and Prices!!!
[IMG]http://www.**********s.com/images/Products/Forgestar%20Wheels/forgestarlogo225.jpg[/IMG] **********s.com is happy to introduce a brand new wheel from Forgestar: The Brand-new F14. So what is so exciting!! 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(Normally wheels like these should be about $2600 from BBS). 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 wheel. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel. These wheels are made to order and can be made to fit your BMW with a large range of offsets. These wheels are tested with 1500lbs per corner, over 100,000 revolution tested as well. Basically really strong wheels, and light weight at a price that's not crazy out there. This is what makes it so exciting. Oh yeah one more thing CUSTOM sizing guys, from 19x10 to 19x11 rears are possible as well as offsets so we can tailor them to your wants, and lots of colors too. Weight specs: 19x8.5 Approx weight 22.5 lbs !! 19x 9 approx weight 24.1 lbs 19x10 approx weight 24.7 lbs They come in four available finishes: Hyper Silver, Gunmetal, Gloss Black, and Matte Black. Available Offsets 19x8.5 offsets from +26 to +46 19x9.0 offsets from +20 to + 50 19x10 offsets from +20 to +45 19x11 offsets from +33 to +55 All of this with only an 8-10 day turn around time and only $1499 + shipping per set!

I will be more than happy to place your order and answer any questions your may have. Thanks for checking out this exciting new wheel/company, guys! Hopefully many more! As to pictures on cars - we already pre-sold quite a few so I'll be trying to gather up some pictures for you guys as well. |

What you need to know about the Flow-Forming Procedure
What you need to know about the Flow-Forming Procedure
Forgestar's flowforming process is a unique solution to a common problem – how to make a wheel both light and strong. This specialized process begins with a low pressure type of casting and uses a special machine that spins the initial casting, heats the outer portion of the casting and then uses steel rollers pressed against the rim area to pull the rim to its final width and shape. The combination of the heat, pressure and spinning create a rim area with the strength similar to a forged wheel. During Flow Forming, the 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. The resulting grain structure within the alloy of the wheel is linear, flowing in a single direction. This grain structure pattern, combined with the exceptional quality of casting required for the process, gives the rim area of the wheel huge mechanical strength, and elongation. As a result of these mechanical characteristics, Forgestar is able to reduce the thickness of the rim area resulting in reduced weight, without compromising strength and resistance to impact. So in a nutshell, the process makes the wheels: -Almost as strong as forged wheels -Lighter than cast wheels -Customizable to a range of offsets and bolt patterns -A great value for the price Pictures of the Flow-Forming Process: [IMG]http://www.**********s.com/images/Products/Forgestar%20Wheels/step1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.**********s.com/images/Products/Forgestar%20Wheels/step2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.**********s.com/images/Products/Forgestar%20Wheels/step3.jpg[/IMG] Forgestar has long been an advocate for wheel durability testing. They strongly believe that any issue regarding consumer safety is an important one. They want every customer contemplating the purchase of Forgestar wheels to know that it has been carefully engineered by the Forgestar team and thoroughly tested by independent third-party testing laboratories. Actual test reports from independent third-party test laboratories, such as Standards Testing Labs (STL), have been provided by Forgestar. The most common test standards used are those published by SAE (J2530) and TUEV Rheinland (Germany). PDF files of these actual test reports are provided below as well as an explanation of how the tests are performed and what the results mean to you as a consumer. They send every width in each wheel design family with the offset configuration that presents the greatest testing challenge and subject it to the equivalent of a full product lifetime of stress in a third-party laboratory. In this way, it is ensured that the recommended wheel fitment is safe at maximum rated load.

Damn that is a nice wheel.
Are there any pics of them mounted on a car yet? And what would it cost to have them shipped to Australia? Address: 3028 The boulevarde Benowa, 4217 Queensland, Australia
