I have had my set for 2 years. No complaints what so ever about the wheels or the service from forgestar. I bought mine from UCLA Bruin on here. I would try to contact him and order through him. He took pictures and sent them to me, kept me up to date every step of the process. I haven't had an issue with the finish chipping in 2 years. My only complaint is my polished lips are near impossible to keep clean on my F14-F's, but thats not Forgestar's problem.

Forgestar has changed ALOT. When they first started they were all over the place with their quality and customer service. But they have really changed and are now one of the best wheel manufacturers to deal with and buy from.

Thanks Jubei. Like I said if you decide to go Forgestar I would at least find a way to contact UCLABruin he was able to beat the prices I found elsewhere

Why even take the chance. They're average looking wheels that are overpriced. Enkei's are better quality and look better, like the rpf1 and nto3.

Forgestar wheels aren't even forged, they call them "rotary forged' which is just marketing bull****. But consumers buy into it because the name forgestar implies "forged" and such, but to each his own. lol

Actually the F14F and F15 are modular forged but whatever you say. lol. The rotary forged wheels they make are in the same price point as vossen. I would choose Forgestar over Vossen, but that also isn't the popular decision on this forum.
