New Wheel Announcement Forgestar CF5V

[Nine Ball]

New Product Announcement!

As your favorite Dodge Viper wheel supplier, Deviate Motoring has been working hard to produce some more affordable Viper wheel options. The maximum widths and 6-lug patterns really limit your choices on the market. I brought the original Forgestar F14 wheels into Viper production, and now we are opening up a new style soon!

Introducing the Forgestar CF5V. Same lightweight rotary forged construction as the F14, and the OEM Sidewinder 2 wheels.

This will be a pre-sale to get the first 25 sets produced. To keep things simple, we will only have one diameter available, and two different color choices. It takes quite an investment to order 25 sets of wheels at time, but the hard work is already done. Here are the details. No other sizes will be offered at this time. We went with the two most popular colors to streamline production, to shorten the delivery time. If you just have to have another color, there will be an added fee for color changes.

Forgestar CF5V
19x11.0 +43 Deep Concave Front
19x13.0 +62 Deep Concave Rear
Choice of Matte Black or Satin Gunmetal Gray
$1900/set shipped in the US 48 States

I will be accepting 50% deposits for pre-orders through March 31, and then the initial batch goes into production. I would estimate it taking 3-4 months before the first sets arrive. These will only be sold exclusively through Deviate Motoring.

Enjoy the renderings. It is a great looking wheel, with an organic spoke shape that compliments the curves of a Viper perfectly. These will fit on all generations and models of the Viper, including the ACR with carbon brakes.
To pre-order, please email me at tony@dv8motoring.com

Thanks!
Tony

Great looking wheels! It's really hard to tell the difference in the colors though? I think the Gunmetal with a clear coat would be the way to go. What would be the best way to clear coat these beauties?

Another Home run Tony!!!!! Awesome looking wheel

Could there be an option not to have the wheel coated and save a little? If left in rough, the buyer could have the wheels Powder coated locally in the preferred color of choice.

[cashcorn]

Can you do a clear powder coat? thanks

No 18” available??

[Simms]

That's a great looking wheel!

Tony, I see you note that they will fit an ACR with big brakes, but are they strong enough for track use? I note you stated rotary forged. Thanks.

Yes, hard to capture in renderings. Think of the factory Gen 5 wheel colors, the Hyper Black vs Matte Black. These two colors are very similar in nature, to those two colors. The gunmetal will have slightly more gloss, matte black will not be glossy.

I can usually get a $25/wheel discount for shipping them without coating. I'd be happy to include you in the pre-order for a set.

These wheels aren't that pretty without coating. They appear like dull gray aluminum. I can ship them without coating, for a $25/wheel discount. Then you could have a local coater do them however. Polish, chrome, etc..

I need to minimize the part numbers for the first few production orders. It isn't cheap to develop each size wheel, as it requires more tooling and programming. Eventually, we may produce 18" sizes. Could be a year, depending on the popularity. Viper market is very small, as you know.

These should be fine for tracking with DOT street tires on all Vipers. I have numerous Viper customers tracking on these Forgestars, even with Hoosiers. The only concern I'd personally have is someone who drives 9/10ths with a new ACR on race tires. That aero combined with race tires adds an entirely new level of side loading. Wheel manufacturers do not test to those limits, to get DOT approval. I'd recommend some CNC 6061 forged wheels for that purpose. People want to go cheap on wheels, but fail to understand that wheels are not where you want to go cheap on, when it comes to racing. One thing most people do not understand is that for tracking, wheels are actually considered consumable items, just like brakes. They need to be carefully inspected after every session, for fatigue or stress cracking. Most people assume you buy one set of wheels and they are supposed to last forever. That is only the case for street driving, not hard tracking.

Added a Gen 2 rendering to the original post.

Understood, thanks Tony.

Tony, do you know the clearance between the CCB rotor and wheel drum?

[Nine Ball]

Tony, do you know the clearance between the CCB rotor and wheel drum?

I do not know this measurement, but I'd assume it is very similar to the factory ACR wheels, as both utilize the same thin-walled rotary forged barrel construction.

I was thinking of doing a clear coat over the Gunmetal.. Just easier to clean.. my thoughts. I think it really depends on the smooth finish of the wheels?

beautiful wheel and great price. nice job tony as usual

These finishes are powdercoat, very durable like OEM finishes. The Satin Gunmetal has a bit of shine, it isn't dull. Here is the color on another wheel they manufacture. I don't have any Forgestar pics in this color, because it is something new that will only be found on these Viper sets.

You could always have the wheels ceramic coated by a professional detailer, that will make them repel dust and water much better. I would never advise clearcoating over a finished wheel, unless that wheel is bare aluminum.

That finish looks outstanding and similar to the Hyper Black Sidewinders that I have.. I'll let you know soon by pm(uncle sam comes first. uhh). I currently have the V.E. lowering caps and want to get a set of R888R's. What sizes would you recommend in the front(not a fan of the low 295/30). thanks, Greg

Exactly. I chose this finish as it is very similar to the Hyper Black SW2 wheels. We recommend these tire sizes:

295/30-19 front
345/30-19 rear, or 355/30-19 depending on brand.

Update: 6 sets pre-sold so far!

Tony, it just now hit me that you're the same guy I talked with at Cars and Coffee earlier this month. You gave me a card after I mentioned the attention to detail on the car you were driving, had built. You know how to tempt a guy! Great looking wheels too ...
