Default Forgeline VX1s

Check out these very popular VX1 wheels by Forgeline! These have been a C7 fan favorite. The performance shop at Horsepower Sales of Florida is responsible for tuning Joe’s gorgeous new 2017 Corvette Grand Sport Z07. The long list of enhancements includes a Texas-Speed head & camshaft package, aFe Power cold air intake, custom roll bar, 5-point harnesses, Kooks long tube headers, MSD ignition wires, NGK spark plugs, custom HP Sales dyno tune, Toyo R888 tires, and Forgeline one piece forged monoblock VX1 wheels finished in Black Chrome PVD!

Default Not a C7 but....

Had Mike drop in with is brand new 2017 Miami Blue 991 Turbo S drop in for a set of Forgeline VX1Rs and I have to say that I rarely like a lighter blue car but man pics just do NOT do this justice. Everyone in the shop just fell out over the color! I'd rock it

Love the wheels but that is about the most hideous car color I ever seen.

I can definitely see the appeal but I personally like sharper/darker colors; its almost a "Papa Smurf" color!

Ben - is "Transparent Smoke" a custom finish or a standard color? The color is a great combination of a shinier silver with a more aggressive black out look. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, that's one of my favorites, but it's a custom finish option, usually running about $125/wheel more

Ok I have narrowed it down to either

VX3C in 19/9 and 20/11.5

or GA1R but does the GA1R come In 20/11.5 ??

If not I think I will be pulling the trigger on the VX3C wrapped in the widest r888s we can which I think is 315. I don't think they come in 325. Thanks !

We're happy to debut another style in our WEAPON-X Forged series. We're cutting these for Tony C's beautiful yellow C7 Z06 convertible right now, so I thought I'd introduce them to you guys!

The feature our signature raised face profile to exaggerate the concavity. They'll be cut in 19x10 and 20x12 but are also available in 18-22". More pics for production coming soon.

Can we fit an 18-inch wheel on the C7Z with the Z07 carbon brakes? Sure thing! Stuart’s Torch Red C7 Corvette Z06 is equipped with the Z07 package and rides on Hoosier R7 tires and 18x11/18x13 Forgeline one piece forged monoblock GS1R wheels finished in Pearl Gray.
