Listing my wheels for sale again. I have since purchased new wheels. Originally there was a little rash on the tip of one spoke on one wheel and I decided to have them completely re-done. I just had them refinished in a Prismatic Color 'COAL' and they look AWESOME!!!. Coal is a fine texture finish. The color is a very dark charcoal/soft black and has a really cool prismatic fine flake in direct sunlight. The actual color is a bit darker than the pictures show, I took the photos in really good light....Believe it or not these wheels are now in better condition then when I purchased them new. Forgestar's powder coating sucks and when my guy put the wheels in the bath to strip them, he said that they took about 12minutes per wheel which indicated that they just coated them with no type of primer or zinc under coating(shame on them). The finish was meh from the time that I received them initially, and they gave me a small break on the 5th (spare) wheel as a form of acknowledgement. Since I had the one repaired (they welded aluminum and re-profiled the tip of the spoke and not "liquid metal epoxy"..), they checked all 5 wheels and they are perfect and straight. They come with cone seat lugs, 2ea extra center caps and they do use hub centric rings 66.6m (so if you are thinking of another application you could get new rings from Forgestar)
From Forgestar’s SITE:
“Forgestar’s Rotary Forged Flow forming process is a unique solution to a common problem – how to make a wheel both light and strong.
This specialized process begins with a low pressure type of casting and uses a special machine that spins the initial casting, heats the outer portion of the casting and then uses steel rollers pressed against the rim area to pull the rim to its final width and shape. The combination of the heat, pressure and spinning create a rim area with the strength similar to a forged wheel. During Flow Forming, the 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. The resulting grain structure within the alloy of the wheel is linear, flowing in a single direction.
This grain structure pattern, combined with the exceptional quality of casting required for the process, gives the rim area of the wheel huge mechanical strength, and elongation. As a result of these mechanical characteristics, Forgestar is able to reduce the thickness of the rim area resulting in reduced weight, without compromising strength and resistance to impact.”
“Forgestar has long been an advocate for wheel durability testing. We strongly believe that any issue regarding consumer safety is an important one. We want every customer contemplating the purchase of Forgestar wheels to know that it has been carefully engineered by the Forgestar team and thoroughly tested in our in house testing laboratory as well as an independent third-party testing laboratory.
On this website, we will provide actual test reports from independent third-party test laboratories such as Standards Testing Labs (STL).
The most common test standards we use are those published by SAE (J2530) and JWL VIA. We will provide PDF files of these actual test reports as well as an explanation of how the tests are performed and what the results mean to you as a consumer.
We test every width in each wheel design family with the offset configuration that presents the greatest testing challenge and subject it to the equivalent of a full product lifetime of stress in our own in house testing laboratory. Then we send one of each wheel design to a independent third-party laboratory for added tests. In this way, we insure that the recommended wheel fitment is safe at maximum rated load.”
