All I can find is 19s

Team503 · 03-15-2018, 02:49 PM

I recently decided that I didn't want to deal with the combo of bodywork and ForgeStar's terrible quality reputation, so my plans for SDC F14s got tossed. I've been looking around for wheels, and everything I find is pretty much 19s. I really like the Vorsteiner VFF-101s, and I don't mind a knock-off wheel.

So I find these 305Forged wheels that are flow forged and for a great price, but it's either 18x8 or jump to 19s.. (https://wheelsdistributioncenter.com/ft101/)

Does anyone have a recommendation for a same or similar style wheel that comes in 18x8.5 and 18x10 (I'm going to roll the rear fenders)?

ESR knocked off the F14 https://esrwheels.com/collections/rf...=1558524592152
I dont have any experience with them, but like you, im a fan of 18's over 19's. Currently looking at the enkei nt03 in 18

I'd be down for those; do you know if they're worth a damn, reliability-wise?

ESR wheels are nice quality. The finish is good, mine is starting to pit after 2 years of Ohio winter. They aren't the lightest, but if you aren't shooting for a track car, they should work great.

BBS RIA comes in 18x8.5 and 9.5 but may be out of your price range.

18x8.5 and 18x9.5 is one of the most common wheel sizes for our cars. 10s aren't quite as common, but they most certainly are available. Linea Corse LeMans is one of them, there are others.

Sounds like Style 513M would be right up your alley. And at the rates they go for on the used market, they're impossible to beat. OEM, forged, lightweight, perfect width and offset not needing spacers. Nothing but winning.

Hot, but at $4k a set, more than I wanted to pay. I ended up ordering a set of BC Forge wheels in 18x9 and 18x10.

Thanks for the thoughts, all.
