18 Inch Forgestar Wheels - Need Participation.

Good day everyone,

As you might know, Deviate Motoring was the shop that pushed for Forgestar to create the F14 6-lug Viper wheels for us. That required an investment of 40 sets of wheels to get them started with the tooling. Now we want to make more sizes available, but we need to show some interest and do a group purchase to achieve this. These wheels are rotary forged and lightweight, as well as inexpensive. On par with the factory Sidewinder 1&2 weights.

Many of you have been asking for a few things, so we are listening
1) 18" rear wheels - for drag and road racers.
2) 13" rear widths, instead of the current 12" widths.
3) 18x11" front wheels for Gen 5 fitment.

Please respond with your interest in either of the following sets. We'd like to gauge the demand, before making the large investment.

Gen 1-4 Sets:
A) 18x10.0 and 18x13.0 - $1470/set
B) 18x10.0 and 19x13.0 - $1600/set

Gen 5 Sets:
C) 18x11.0 and 18x13.0 - $1490/set
D) 18x11.0 and 19x13.0 - $1620/set

With enough interest, we could likely get each option produced. If not, then they won't happen.

Thanks,
Tony

Great looking and lightweight wheel Tony.

[rlhay2]

For me, option C would be perfect!!

I've got a stork bringing a packaged in late August, but it would make a great Christmas gift to myself!

[witz323]

I would be interested in option C if I can't find a set of Sidewinder 1s first.

Whoops. I meant option B.

[Junkie]

No CF5 correct?

[Sybil TF]

So they are available in 13 inch width now? What other colors are available besides black?

[Nine Ball]

No CF5 correct?

Only the F14. They don't sell enough Viper sets to justify another style, as each size and style requires its own tooling. Damn 6-lug!

Here is why you can't just drill any lug pattern you want. We have to get them special made for the 6-lug.

Option B if something other than black. 11 inch wide won't fit a gen 2?

18x11.0 will indeed fit the front of a Gen 2, but that might require yet another set of tooling. We are trying to identify the most popular sets from above, and then possibly proceed with getting tooling produced. Too bad the Gen 1-4 and the Gen 5 require different front offsets, and we "need" the Gen 5 front wheel. If it all works out, maybe we can offer custom offsets on the 18x11 fronts, for both generation fitments.

All of their powdercoat colors will be available.

White
Gunmetal Gray
Gloss or Matte Black
Bronze
Silver
Red
Gold
Etc..

Bump for an awesome deal and opportunity. If I were in the market for wheels I would be all over this.

[Getnlwr]

I'd be interested in option B.

10's on the front is fine, thought they were interchangeble but having the 13's on the back is more appealing. Gunmetal grey or silver would be my interest. The brushed aluminum looked best but I think you said they are unavailable.

[TooBlue]

WOW! That is a great deal on a very nice looking wheel!

If I didn't have too many sets already I would be getting a set...!

[SEASnake]

I'll take option "B" - maybe 2

[99RT10]

Can you get them to make a 19" front? Given the size of the new ACR Kumho tire, this might be a great tire option for these rims.

I would be interested in option "A" if they would still fit my new 275 and 335 18" tires.

I'd love to have every size available, but the honest truth is that we do not move very many Viper sets. It is a large investment, and too many cars rolling around on OEM factory wheels. Then, most people want to keep the OEM tire sizes and not upsize, in order to save tire costs.

[SYDWNDR]

I'd get option A.

[Nine Ball]

Hmmm, only 8 interested parties so far. :confused:

[Sybil TF]

Hmmm, only 8 interested parties so far. :confused:What's the magic number?

[Nine Ball]

What's the magic number?

Probably about 5 of each of the sets I listed, to justify that particular set. A,B,C,D

[Victxv10]

Option D

[Chorps]

Gorgeous wheels but I just decided no more Gen IV mods now that the Gen V ACR has been announced. Time to start saving my pennies.

[G37Sam]

Would you sell me a pair of 18x11's for my Gen V?

[coomer00]

I'd be interested in a 18*11 and 18*13 set for a GEN4 . If they are track capable maybe 2 sets.
Thanks

[elw98]

Option "B" Gunmetal Grey for me....YES!!!!!! I'm looking for wheels NOW!

let me know ?

Ernie

[chris955]

option C

[slovenom]

If I didn't have my SWII's already I would b all over this

Awesome price n looks..

[elw98]

Bump

[parabs]

I'm in for option B.

[parabs]

Any updates on these yet??? Are sets going to be made, did I miss the window??

[elw98]

Bump

[VIPEREPIV]

Option 'D' - NOW! lol!

I can calculate, but would like to know what the Sidewinder II's offset is as a reference to what the F14's are. And I believe the F14's have 3 concave offerings.

[Madmav]

I would take a set option D

[rlhay2]

Just wanted to check the status and realized that a poll would be a much simpler and easier way to decipher interest.

Does this site have the capability to post polls?

[Nine Ball]

:)

Guess we'll find out.

[maddog2424]

I'm interested in option A!

[johnnybravo]

Can they make an 18 x 6 option for the front? I'd love to have a set of slicks/skinnies for the street.

[Rtizzle]

I'm interested in option A! black or bronze!

[Dan Cragin]

Will the 18x11's fit over the new ACR front brakes?

[Nine Ball]

Will the 18x11's fit over the new ACR front brakes?

I've ordered a couple sets to arrive here in Houston, and plan on test-fitting them on anything I can find. I'd say there is a slight chance they do clear.

[chicagopd50]

will the 18x13 wheels fit the gen 3 rear without relocating the e brake?

[Nine Ball]

will the 18x13 wheels fit the gen 3 rear without relocating the e brake?

Not possible. Same with Gen 4. You'll need the relocation block kit, which is a cheap and easy to do modification.
