Forgestar, sister company of iForged! I love these wheels for its price and similar quality to my old Advans RS. Although, the Advans are still better in terms of weight and quality control. You get what you pay for! Advans are in a whole different price range.

Example:
1. Weight: Advan RS 19x9 +29(19lbs!!), Forgestar F14 19x8.5 +35(21lbs)
2. Quality control: The paint on the Advans is superior! No flaws at all. While my Forgestar had minor perfections(small chips, when cutting assuming) near the bolt pattern. They fixed it by using touch up paint. Came out great.

Now onto with a picture of my Matte Black F14 Wheels:

Thanks alphapiq. It was really hard choice between their Gold or Matte Black. Also thanks to Surf City Pacific Blue Wash & Wax, really does give a great gloss.

Another picture. Concave look FTW!

Thanks Ricky.

Note: I have 5mm ichiba v1 spacers in the front and I have 10mm project kic spacers waiting to be installed for my rears. I couldn't roll my rear fenders with the roller because my calipers interfered. Soon to be done though.

The kit wasn't up to my standards, thus cause headaches overtime. They are in good hands with another owner. I am trying to get a reputable Japanese company in making a quality kit for us. Not anytime soon though as they have a few projects ahead.

Very Clean loop.

With a little tint to the head/tails - that would be one clean murder.

Yes yes, back to stock body. Hopefully this will change depending if these companies will come through. I have tons of contact from previous years when I was in the car industry. I will be trying to bring back the aftermarket parts we need as it has died!

Ha, they will never support the Altima Coupe. Amuse is for the hardcore tuners.

Most of my contacts were from trade shows i.e SEMA and SpoCom while getting your name out. Its a small industry and you get to know them well as you tend to see them at another event. Some companies will refer you to other companies as they have good relationship with them. Eventually you will have a list of contacts.

As for the wheels, I got them at a special price long time ago. I believe you can get them for $1,400. Not bad for a lightweight monoblock wheel.

Agreed, however I think the red in the BBK looks sick with the tails. I would even consider baking the heads and painting the orange piece of death to match the red.

Def a nice look Loop.

It just occurred to me, while looking at Loops car, that this is in fact the cleanest and most legit combination of mods.

-Light & good fitting wheels
-Big brake kit
-Coils
-No aero

f***.

Anyone want to buy a used DS Stillen fascia?

Thanks guys. You guys are too kind!

Lino, I appreciate it. I hope to have more people follow me and do it the right way. My advice is usually to save up the wheels you really want and you won't regret it. Knowing that you have the correct size and offset.

DJBeasy and Soltys, I do have my tailights tinted, but it is very light and almost stock looking. I have been considering having my headlights black out for a long time. I just haven't seen a modded headlight that I like. They are nice, but something about it doesn't look right to me and I like the clean look.

Alphapig, this is my goal and you nailed it. Having the correct fitment wheels(tires are just important) and drop is crucial(this goes with any/most car). It really brings out its beauty and lines.

For those who are interested in what tires I have, they are sticky sticky Kumho Ecsta MX tires. 245/35/19 size

My next goal is to finish up the suspension.

Gotta thanks to Loren @ Rotora! One of a kind 8 piston front, 15 inch 2 piece rotors, stainless steel lines & 4 piston(available for the Altima) rear, 13inch 2 piece rotor, ss lines. Check the retail on those bad boys.

If anyone is interested in upgrading their brake components. Rotora has many different upgrades you can do to your Altima. Such as 6 or 4 piston front big brake kits(bbk) and 4 piston bbk for the rear. Now if your not interested in such massive brake upgrades. Another great alternative is their quality rotors(OEM, Slotted, Drilled), stainless steel lines, and brake pads. You can check this thread for more information: rotora-brake-upgrades-bbk-rotors-pads-s ... 10848.html The Part #'s are available in the thread and all you need to do is contact Rotora for a local vendor for best possible pricing.
