These are Forgeline GA1RS Open Lug in 19x10.5/19x13" that are nearly 20lbs lighter than OEM. Tires are 295/345 MPSS.



I can do 19/20" in the same size and send tires and TPMS complete too.

Here are AR1s and I have a set in for a Z06 now in 19/20"


I have two sets of GT1s in now for Z06/7s so these will look awesome!


Here are the SE1s


SE1s again in chrome


RB1s in 20/20
The GT1 looks good. I want to keep the same size as stock in terms of wheels and tires, so 19 and 20. More aggressive offset would be OK if they don't stick out of the fender flares and don't rub.

Send me a PM with the price with Pilot SS and sensors all mounted and balanced.

Thanks.

Damn, I shouldn't have looked at this thread.


Those AR1s are smoking hot. Great wheel for the Z.

Default GA3Rs in OEM Z06 19/20" sizes for a white vert Z07!

These have the very attractive center lock option with gloss black faces and super wet white lips to match an Arctic White Z06 with the MPSS tires, mounted and shipped complete.

Also interested in pricing here. Will this setup clear the Z07 brakes, and if so, how much caliper clearance (in mm) is there? What tires is Rob going with?

Yes it will clear the Z07 brakes, I haven't gotten the engineering specs yet on them. Clearance will depend on the wheel. Certain rims like the GA3R have more clearance, these GA1R will have less since the spokes are straight, but all will clear without issue, rest assured! Forgeline owns a Z07

Rob is going with a street front and the fat Mickey Thompson 345 drag radial rear for street/strip use.

Damn, I really think the 18" THROW BACK wheels all around would look awesome for everyday driving. anybody done these, would love to see pics. May have to do some cut and paste to visualize these. Kinda like the blend of the old school, real catchy, IMHO. Maybe some old Indy wheels?

Just check specs on the 18" tires that match the OEM, and weight is about the same, so no issue here. 36lbs total savings

Another drag setup will be in the works as soon as Tony decides whether he wants monos or 3pc!

Pics to come too of some center lock GA3Rs on a white A8 Vert, the GZ3Rs with MPSS ZP tires lowered down, and a couple more sets are supposed to be shipping this week including a 20/21" GT1 setup with the massive 375s on the back!
