Okay, this changes my vote....not a fan of cast wheels. Get the F14's.

Besides the Forgestar F14's, there are some other fairly affordable rotary forged wheels that are available out there. If you haven't already, take a look at:

Forgestar: CF5, CF5V, CF10

TSW: Nurburgring, Interlagos, Panorama, Tanaka, Beyern Spartan

Just some suggestions if you're looking for rotary-forged at an afforable price.

Does no one realize both wheels are cast? Do you guys know how much forged wheels cost Vs forgestar wheels?

Forgestar is a cast wheel that uses less material due to the process that is used to make them called flow forming. Less material means less weight.

Process here for flow forming: The first part of the video is how a cast forgestar is formed.
