ForgeStar F14 vs Porsche Turbo Style wheels

Hi Bros,

I'm currently considering the Forgestar F14 for my C2S NB, but would like some advice on the following:

1) I'm currently running the Porsche original Turbo Style wheels for C2S. Money aside, is it worth swapping to Forgestar F14 for performance (lighter and stronger)?

2) the size will be 19x8J front and 19x11J rear. What should be the correct offset?

(I'm going to be re-using my 5-months-old PSS 235/35/19 and 305/30/19)


Thanks.

I put the 997.1 turbo wheels (WB wheels) ON my C2-NB. I love them and since they are charcoal grey inside I rarely bother even cleaning the inside of the wheels!

Do it, personally, I am not a fan of the turbo wheels, turbo type 2 looks great but not the first version. Give forgestar a call, they've made plenty of wheels for the NB and WB 997's. They know what offset you need.

I have the CF10 Forgestars and have had their wheels on several rides. They are very nice in quality for the money, lighter than factory, and look better due to their aggressive offsets.
