Got my Forgestar F14 bronze burst 18x8 17x10 combo

Ok guys got my wheels. I'm really happy about the combo...they are awesome IMO.

Front 18x8 weights 20.6lbs

Rear 17x10 weights 20lbs

In comparison my RaceStar 17x7 weights 20.5lbs.

Cant wait to see what it looks like on my 1LE IOM!!


Any idea on track E.T. gain and mph, along with my nice little Spec Mini twin 18lbs!!??

Peace

I have 225/55/18 front tires on 18x8 and 305/45/17 on 17x10 rears in those pics. I switched to 325/45/17 M&H Racemaster for rears, they are the same size

Could you post some more photos of this set up, maybe with your new MH radials. Im in the process of ordering the F14 but debating if i should do 18x11 deep concave rears or do the 17x10 semi concave rears

Pk auto design. They gave me a great deal and did their best to save me some cash, even with the canada fees and shipping. Very satisfied!! Bronze burst is extra 40$ per wheels. Worth it!!

I think Im set on running a 26" tires on em. 315 35 17..
