FORGESTAR Wheels : Flow-Formed, Lightweight, Custom Fitment!
Hey guys, this is a pretty exciting new product intro for us, as it represents a great niche product. Over the course of the last few years the wheel market has exploded, however there is a pretty large divide from a pricing and performance aspect. Most of the cost effective wheels have 1 or 2 fitments and are heavier. Most of the forged custom wheels have infinite fitments, are lightweight and run the cost of a average mortgage payment! lol
FORGESTAR Wheels has been launched to bridge this gap while offering:
Quality 'Flow Form' Construction
Light Weight (approx 25lb for a 19x10")
Custom Fitment
Cost Effective Price Point.
Here is some info about the Flow Form Casting process, which is a hybrid of forging and casting, and is used by companies such as BBS and Enkei:
Flow Forming is a production procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. The pressure and turning then force the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim. During Flow Forming, the rim actually "flows" down to create the full rim width. During 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 rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel.
Bolt Pattern from 5x108 - 5x130
TPMS Compatible
Clears OEM and Aftermarket Large Calipers
SIZING:
19x8.5 offsets from +32 to +47
19x9.0 offsets from +26 to +44
19x10 offsets from +26 to +44
PRICING:
MSRP - $1950.00/set
INTRODUCTORY SPECIAL PRICE - $1350.00/set

We stopped by the FORGESTAR offices last week, and saw the product in person. The F-05 looks ALOT better in person than it does in pics.
We also took the oppurtunity to put a wheel on the scale, and here's what we got:
19x10" wheel - 22.4lbs
Excellent for such a cost effective 1pc wheel!! Also there is a new wheel style that we will be debuting VERY soon.
I think you guys will like it alot!
