I could be wrong or things have changed with their process but i remember there was a thread asking vendors to provide proof that they were form flowed and all of a sudden there was no response when prior to the question they were flocking all over that thread trying to push those wheels. There was also a question of what load rating the F14's were certified to handle it was a lot lower than what it should be for a big sedan. Again things could have changed but there were enough posts on multiple car forums where people complained about bending/cracking the F14's that steered me away from them. I loved that design too so it wasn't a easy choice for me at the time.
