Styling wise Vossen seems to have a better selection Forgestar F14's is a classic look which I always liked but its also nothing new.
Cast wheels are no where near the same strength as forged or form flowed wheels. Also consider just because two wheels are cast doesn't mean they are the same strength as well. Design and manufacturing makes a huge difference. If i were you search "bent, cracked Vossens and Forgestars" and see what you come up with on other car forums. Another thing that people don't realize is also what the load rating is for the wheels they buy. Each wheel should have a certain load rating that it is designed to be safe to use on. This normally doesn't matter if you are buying wheels for a honda or maybe even a 3 series but the F10 is a heavy car. You can't throw a wheel that is meant for a civic on a X5 even if it fits because the wheel would probably shatter when it hits a pothole. Alan

Thanks guys! Just curious. I have the Forgestar CF10's in my garage ready to go on as soon as I take redelivery!
But I have seen some nice designs from Vossen and it just got me thinking.

I vote Forgestar, had good experience with it. Had it for 3 years and didn't get bent, granted I'm in SoCal where street are paved with gold.
Let me throw a wrench at you, look up Avant Garde M510, in 21"s, same styling and pricepoint. Have fun deciding. |
