Forgestar CF10 19" photos

Just a couple of quick and dirty, will get some cleaner ones up later.

I personally feel I finally found a wheel that I can live with for a long time in the looks department.

CF10 is also pretty light option from Forgestar, the car and steering still feels very nimble.

Wheels are 9x19 and 12x19 w GT3 Hankook Ventus RS3 tire setup (235/35/19 and 305/30/19). I'm really happy to be back on full RS3 tire setup, they make my car more quiet, more compliant and they have a ton of grip.

WOW!

The rear quarter shot is WOW! You can really see the concave look of the rear wheels. Great choice on the wheels!

Congratulations sir!

Very nice look, MrWhite. I am not a big fan of 19 in wheels on a 996, but I really like how those fit your car. Hmm, am I too narrow minded???

Those look great! The 305/30 actually looks really good because of the slight extra height over a 315/25.
19 inch rims fill the 996 widebody beautifully and some lightweight 19s can weigh less than stock hollow twist 18s. For the street I think they are the sweet spot. 20s definitely don't look right and 18's have a bit too much sidewall. Just my opinion.

Offsets are:
9x19 ET 47mm semi concave
12x19 ET 41mm concave - have a tiny bit rub when springs are compressing fully but didn't find out if that's inside or outside yet. The car has close to 3 degree camber rear, if you run more straight you might have rub. Safest bet is do do ET 45mm and use spacer to adjust looks (I didn't bc I don't want to mess with spacers if I don't have to).

Not sure about weights, gotta check it someday and will post up, but they did subjectively feel lighter than the OEM GT2 wheels and definitely lighter than the Foregstar F14 I had last year.

You can really feel it in the steering that there's no heavyweight wheels, and the response when accelerating isn't sluggish which is also noticable when putting on a set of heavy wheels.

I didn't like 8.5 front with a straigh square sidewall and the rear with a little stretch, so I went 9" front this time because it gave a tiny hint of stretch for the 235 that matches the look of the rear wheels better. With the 47mm offset it clears the intercoolers, and still clears OEM front struts.
