The Forgestar F14 in 18" is the perfect setup for you

This brand new lineup utilizes a combination of the best methods of forging and casting methods both in the same wheel. This is called Flow Form Casting, and is used by companies such as BBS and Enkei.

Flow Form Casting is a production procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. The pressure and turning then force the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim. During Flow Forming, the rim actually "flows" down to create the full rim width. During Flow Forming, pressure applied to the cast rim actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and impact values become similar to those of a forged rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel.

Weights:
18x8.5 ET48 - 17.6 Lbs.
18x9.5 ET48 - 18.4 Lbs.
18x10 ET42 - 18.2 Lbs.
18x12 ET68 - 20.0 Lbs.

Sorrry, not looking for slicks. R compound track tires for the circuit would be more in line with what i need.

The finish is Titanium which has been discontinued as of late 2009 and has been replaced with Brushed Titanium.

Wow, pretty much anything goes then.

What sizes/offsets would you recommend for a 335i coupe on H&R Sport springs?

Any pix of a JB on 18" silver Forgestars?
