Default Forged F-Sport Wheel ?

I was just looking on Sewell and saw that the Forged F-Sport wheels come in 18'' and 19''. Is anyone running 18 in the front and 19 in the back? I was just wondering because I like the forked look and these wheels are a good route to loose some unsprung weight.

Thanks in advance

Hmmm that would be interesting. I'm not a fan of mixing sizes like that, but it might look good!

I'm not all for the different sizes but I'm really excited to see it if you do. I think it would make the front look lower without changing any parts.

Do it and post pictures.

Only thing running it that way is resale. Not many people will buy after you get bored.

reminds me of a hot rod look. Do you want a raked look?

Throw some Lfa 19" reps on that USB F-Sport. It would look pretty sick.

I do like the full faced f sports and the originals too. I just think their too over priced. I would rather a set of Lfa reps for the oem look or if they want some lightweight wheels maybe some weds.

Yeah full race is very over priced. I would still like to get a set one day. I could always use a third set of wheels
