ModBargains is
proud to offer you the BRAND NEW FORGESTAR Wheel Lineup with the latest technology in
wheel production to bring you the best of both worlds. 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.
These wheels are made to order and can be made
to fit your vehicle with a large range of offsets.
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.
The Forgestar Wheels require cone seat lug
bolts, we can provide you with these (see attributes). |

Shipping
Local pickup of these wheels can be performed in the
southern California area, please e-mail a ModBargains sales
representative to schedule an appointment. Otherwise shipping is a flat
$99 to the US. International shipping quotes are available via email.
Why it is not a good
idea to buy wheel and
tire packages from ANY online retailer:
1. Often our price on tires is higher than
what you will find at a local shop, especially right now with all of the
shops running promotions in these market conditions.
2. We do not offer road hazard protection
against nails, leaks, etc like a local shop does (often free of charge)
3. It adds at least 1-1.5 weeks to the
processing time of your order (we stock wheels, we do not stock tires)
4. We charge for mounting and balancing,
some local shops will not charge you
5. If you get tires from a local shop,
they will usually install the wheels/tires onto your car for little to
no cost.
6. Wheel and tire mounting and balancing
is a complicated process. Putting rubber and metal together into a
perfect circle is a tough challenge, no matter how advanced the
equipment being used. When you order a wheel and tire package via mail
order, there is a decent chance that when you get it something will be
wrong. A number of problems can occur: you may have a slight vibration
at cruising speed on the highway, a tire could be leaking air, there is
a wobble at low speed, etc. All of these issues are nearly impossible to
diagnose over the phone or e-mail. They are much easier to diagnose and
much cheaper to fix if you can just take your car into a local tire shop
to have the problem fixed where you originally bought the tires and had
them mounted and balanced. No costs for return shipping! No wait time
for it to be diagnosed! No arguing about what is defective… the car, the
wheels, or the tires?
We have over 5 years experience of doing
wheels and tires. From our personal experience and with market
conditions right now, it just makes the most sense for our customers to
buy tires at a local shop. If you would like a wheel and tire package
from us, we absolutely will do it for you and our price will still be
competitive. You may call us at 714-582-3330 to discuss tire packages.
Please do not e-mail/call us for a quote on tires.

What you need to know about the
Flow-Forming Procedure
|
Forgestar's flowforming 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.
So in a nutshell, the process makes the
wheels:
-
Almost as strong as forged wheels
-
Lighter than cast wheels
-
Customizable to a range of offsets and
bolt patterns
-
A great value for the price

Forgestar has
long been an advocate for wheel durability testing. They strongly
believe that any issue regarding consumer safety is an important one.
They want every customer contemplating the purchase of Forgestar wheels
to know that it has been carefully engineered by the Forgestar team and
thoroughly tested by independent third-party testing laboratories.
Actual test
reports from independent third-party test laboratories, such as
Standards Testing Labs
(STL), have been provided by Forgestar.
The most common
test standards used are those published by SAE (J2530) and TUEV
Rheinland (Germany). PDF files of these actual test reports are provided
below as well as an explanation of how the tests are performed and what
the results mean to you as a consumer.
They send 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 a third-party laboratory. In
this way, it is ensured that the recommended wheel fitment is safe at
maximum rated load. |

The following review is courtesy of MrWhite1015 @
E46Fanatics:
Shipping and packaging: The rims were very
nicely boxed up and arrived in perfect condition took about 5 business days from
when they shipped (Cali to NY) very fast for economy in my mind.
Finish: So I decided to go with the two
tone F05's. These have a silver face and lip but all the sides, hardware and
barrel are painted black. Lets just say they it came out PERFECT! No lumps or
imperfections, just crisp lines, and a great looking finish.
Fitment: Mike was dead on in selecting an
offset for the 19x10 rears. They just fit with no rub what-so-ever! The guy at
the shop didn't think they would fit, and wanted to mount one rim first to check
I told him no need as these were built for my car, and an offset was selected
based on my mods. Well sure enough they fit great no spacers needed.
Overall: I'm very happy with everything,
from the quality of the wheels to Mike over at Modbargains putting up with me
asking a million and one questions. Great customer service! A+++!!!






The Forgestar Wheels will come with a set of
carbon fiber center caps. Below are pictures of these.
