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.

Default WEAPON-X C7 ZR1 - Forgeline VX1R Drag Wheels

I went with these because they were the lightest available!

The front wheel with tire weighs a mere 40lbs vs. the stock 56lbs
The rear weighs a mere 46lbs with TPMS! vs. the stock 65lbs
THAT CUT 70 LBS OF ROTATING MASS!!!

All these wheels look the same, I swear Corvettes have the worst selection to choose from. If want something nice, you have to go custom, but that's just my opinion.

Default Dan Ps C7 Z06 - Forgeline GS1Rs

Forgeline GS1R


Forgeline GS1R - best pricing and service at WEAPON-X Motorsports


Dan reached out to me with a beautiful Admiral Blue Grand Sport and was tired of cracking OEM wheels on the road courses! Between that and the brake dust burning through his stock wheel finish, he decided it was time for a pair of quality forged wheels!

The problems:

We talked about various options as there were some less expensive options; however, after seeing Forgeline's motorsports heritage, he decided, well... there was no decision. We talked through wheel styles and sizes at that point and last was finish options. He didn't want another black wheel, so I showed him the Graphite wheel and let him know that complimented the carbon fiber very well and if we went with satin, it would still have a sheen to it, but would hide the brake dust more! While the car will accept an 18x11 and 18x13, Dan chose to stick with the x12.5" rear so he didn't have to jack the rear up by the LCAs so the inner wheel barrel would clear them at full droop. (every time I hear that word, I'm taking back to Droopy LOL

Don't make contact when I'm around... LOL

Customer comments:
"Hey Ben,
It's been gloomy and dreary in Chicago lately so I didn't have a chance for some nice photos of the wheels just yet, but here's a sneak peek from my parking garage! I'll be sure to send a few over once the weather improves (or I get to the track) for your website!
These things look amazing and I was shocked at how light they are. You were right about satin graphite, it goes really well with the carbon flash and exposed carbon! I can't wait to get out on the track.
Do you have any stickers for my toolbox and trackday caddy, by the way? :-)"

Size: 18x11", 18x12.5" bead knurling to prevent tire rotation under hard braking or acceleration
Finish: Satin Graphite
Offsets: WEAPON-X Specs

Default WEAPON-X Forged: VIRAL 21x13" rear!

C7 ZR1
Wheel: WEAPON-X Forged: VIRAL 2 piece wheel
Sizes: 20x11, 21x13
Offsets: WEAPON-X Spec
Tires: Pirelli P Zero Nero GT 305/25r20, 375/20r21

This is a wheel I designed for my self, inspired by a set of wheels that I had previously; however, I wanted to IMO improve some things aesthetically, like the area around the hub, reuse of the OEM carbon caps, and my raised face profile to exaggerate the concavity. I need to get a video of them moving, because this feature really makes for some jaw dropping "chop"

My ZR1 wheels are the duoblock sytle, looking like a monoblock on the face with floating spokes over the lips and thus allowing you to do different colored barrels, hardware accents, etc! Mine were machined to reuse the OEM carbon ZR1 center caps too



And the finished product on mine is once again Black Ice! The color looks really good, dark in low light, gleam in sun shine and we'll be once again fitting these up in the super rare Pirell GT Nero 305/375s!



They're all done from black chroming and assembled and will be here tomorrow to mount up and rock out!!







Had some fun around town today!

Default Hugo's C7 Z06 - Forgeline GTD1 Open Lugs

Next up is Hugo's C7 Z06 making 1200whp, done by my friends down at JMS in TX! He ordered these brushed raw to have them color matched to the rest of his details and they turned out killer! He reached out to me looking for all purpose street/roll racing wheels so we did 19s with the anticipated R888Rs after his powder coater handled the color match. Check out the billet LME manifold matched

Customer Comments: "Love them! Wish I had ordered center caps for them. LoL but yes I love the look and peace of mind with a high quality forged wheel."
