Quality difference between AMR wheels and Forgestar F14's?

[chrisheltra]

Is there really a $200/wheel quality difference between these two wheels?

I know the Forgestars are considerably lighter.

Cant speak for AMR, but Forgestars are absolutely top quality.

You're looking at two different sized wheels. The Forgestars will be lighter and stronger. Question is do you need either or both of those are are you just rolling traffic light to traffic light.

I had the amr wheels on my 05 they were really nice and the painy quality was good. Im going to get them again if i get wheels for this 2013. Im kinda hoping they step up and make them in 20s

Got my Amr's in yesterday for my Shelby and the finish is high quality, my 19x10 rear weighs 27#. I wanted to be able to put my SVT center caps in and the Forgestars didin't appear I could do that. Very happy and saved alot of cash.

Ill buy US anytime I can but I cant see paying $800 more per set just because it was made here.

One is cast and made in China, the other is not.

Made in USA enough said that's what I'm buying. When ever I have a viable choice I pick USA and in this case the forge stars are lighter weight and superior quality=no brainier

Bought a set of CarrollShelby CS1's, 20x9 and 20x11.5. Found out after the fact they were made in china. Love the rims but would have paid more to buy here. You figure with a name like that they would be made here. Can't assume anything anymore.

Forgestar is made in the USA. I just got some for my 2013 Boss 302. Great wheel great company. These wheels are extremely light and strong. They really made my car look great. You can not go wrong with Forgestar. Give them a call and talk to them. Whats great is thy can make them however you want. Offsets color everything can be customized.

I can't speak for others, but the powdercoating on my AMR wheels is already starting to form tiny bubbles, and it chipped with ease when installing new tires. They're less than 6 months old.

If you want something in between, look at the TSW Nurburgring wheels, they are lighter than the AMR, and closer in qaulity to the Forgestars than the AMR.

amr are heavy cast wheels

forgestar are rotary forged

that is a big difference

You spend 50K on a car and put $700 wheels on it?

 

[Nsssane1]

Wheels are wheels would have kept stockers if they didn't get scratched.

These wheels are not even in the same category. Its apples and oranges. Forgestar wheels are a deal at the price that they are! The AMR wheels are decent wheels, but if you're comparing them to Forgestars, they are worth the added pricetag. Plus I like how the forgestar wheels look better than the AMR wheels. The AMR wheels are a replica of the TSW Nurburg wheels.

:bash:more like comparing apples to t-bone steak, amr can be rtr knockoffs too, not on a gt500 though.

AMR's sucked for me. Balance issues big time. Put stockers back on. Can't beat Ford wheels unless you buy quality like Forgestar etc. not cheap AMR crap.
