Default ForgeLine GA1R at LG Motorsports

Want a light weight wheel that will hold up to 200 mph at Daytona?

Look no further than the new GA1R wheel.



Brand new off the CNC from ForgeLine here at LG Motorsports today!


That is an 18x10 wheel for C6Z06/ZR1 fitment. FYI OEM 18x9.5 is roughly 25.4 lbs each.










Carrying the new GA series of styling, all of the spokes are scalloped out for lighter weight, with their new I-beam design. Also notice the thin, strong spokes with material removed around the base as well for even more weight removal. There is a lot of detail to look at so please look close! Built strong enough to run the 24hrs of Daytona and cool enough to win first place at the show on the weekend!


You can order these as a standard 5/6 lug pattern to fit almost any fitment as well as centerlock conversions.






Please call, email, or PM about specific fitments. 18/18 combinations shipping this week. 18/19 fitments to ship next week, and 19/20 builds to be ready this spring!

Anthony:

6 lbs savings with the quality and strength of an aftermarket wheel is impressive. I can't wait to try them out on the car. Now I have to go find the rubber!

I thought you would like that. Your wheels shipped from ForgeLine yesterday.

Brake caliper clearance is an issue. Although Cobalt pads and two-piece rotors have performed well, since I am now running R/A 6's an upgrade to a big brake kit is likely.

Those are close, but there is more room on that than what there is on our GT2 ALMS race car.

Jim, definitely do the big brake upgrade. I maxed out my stockers and they were still iffy during summer runs. Should be getting my new Stoptechs from Anthony here in the next couple of weeks

John, where have you been hiding? Yes a brake upgrade is probably soon for me as well. Anthony can hook you up.

First finished 18x13 Corvette Z06 fitment arrived today

Not to much heavier than the smaller 18x10.
