Got my Forgestar F14s in Piano Black in the mail. Look sick.. Super deep concave all around. Can't wait to slap em on.

Does anyone know if the stock BMW tpms will fit these wheels ?

Don't plan on lowering the car so I don't think I'll need to roll the fenders . Offsets are +11 front and +31 rear .

Quick shot I managed to take. The car feels like it needs a wheel alignment bad. Is that normal when going from stock wheels to an aggressive offset set up (20s)? .

you shouldn't have to since the suspension was not touched. is the overall diameter of the new wheels still the same size as the stockies?

Nope. I went from 245/45/18 to 245/35/20 and 275/30/20.

That's what Isturbointeg means.

Those three tires are all OEM sizes and close in diameter (between 26.5-26.8").

But I would say that with wide wheels with aggressive offsets a alignment could be needed for that reason.

looks nice! more pictures plz!

rule of thumb when i worked in the automotive tire industry anytime we put new tires on we always recommended a wheel alignment. like .BMW said overall diameter is still the same even tho u did go wider. i'd watch and monitor your tires for camber wear. if you see the inside or outside tire start to wear uneven get the alignment done right away before you end up ruining your new tires! also, got any overall shots of the car so we can see the wheels a bit better! ForgeStars rock!!

Thanks for the help.. I have an appointment to get the wheels road force balanced and have a wheel alignment done.

Turns out the guys who mounted my wheels to the tires just mounted them on the car without doing any balancing . Probably why the wheels felt a little funny around 60mph .

Make sure to note the road force values. I've experienced some vibrations around 60-70mph if the road force values exceed 10 lbs per wheel. Your car may be different, but it seems the F10 chassis is very sensitive to road force around 65mph.

Just got em aligned and balanced.. Smooth as butter.. way more tolerable than before. Thought the rough ride might have something to do with the SDC up front but now after align/balance it's close to stock driveability. Here's a couple phone pics till I can get more off my Nikon

[lsturbointeg]

now blackout the window trim, door handle trim and the fender trim! i really got get my blackout grills going!

Yep, window trim and door handles on my list. Thinking of keeping the fender piece chrome to go along with the chrome in headlights.

Black grills will definitely set your car off since your getting those bronze colored wheels. I just plasti dipped (peel able rubber paint) mine black then hit with a glossifier. Ended up peeling it off, rocking chrome for a while then plasti dipped it black again since i ordered black wheels . Put 2 pics together to help make my mind up.

Get black grills on there asap! Those chrome grills look cheap and ruin the black theme you have going. Also keep the forgestar center caps the bmw caps are fugly, I couldn't wait to get them off my car.If you insist on the bmw center caps I'll give you my Adress to send me the forgestar center caps

You have bmw center caps that fit the forgestar wheels ?

Wheel gap is actually not too bad in person but yeah some springs would be the icing on the cake. I just don't want to risk ride quality because this thing is riding smooth as butter on 20s.

Yeah I'm definitely keeping the grills black.. Might even do some striping like in this picture.

[Teddylongtooth]

I meant the stock wheels and center caps.
