**SPECIAL** ForgeLine wheels for Corvette Forum members only through LG Motorsports
Hi guys,
As you have noticed this year I have been showing off a lot of new products from ForgeLine Motorsports. We have been a huge fan and supporter of their wheels and products since we started racing with them in 1996.
Now it is with great pleasure that I can announce a very special offer only to Corvette Forum members through LG Motorsports and ForgeLine wheels on their brand new ZZ3 forged wheel.
NEW ZZ3 ForgeLine wheel
ForgeLine's newest wheel, the ZZ3 now uses the latest in their race wheel design and I-beam spoke CNC programming. This new I beam design, first shown on the GA3R wheel, not only reduces weight of the wheel, but also radically increases stiffness of the wheel. A stiffer wheel means less deflection, quicker driver response, better tire wear, among other things.
The new ZZ3 wheel is also a hidden bolt design like the GA3R wheel. This keeps all of the hardware of the three piece wheel hidden from view. The bolts insert from the back side into the threaded center portion of the wheel. You still get all of the benefits and features of a three piece wheel, while maintaining the look of a one piece.
ZZ3 is produced using our traditional forging method utilizing 6061-T6 aluminum with heat-treated rim-shells. Just like any FORGELINE wheel, the ZZ3 will be fully customizable in fitment and finish, including center-lock applications*.
Why buy ForgeLine?
Before ForgeLine releases a new design, it is tested using computer stress analysis. The computer model enables us to analyze the design under a simulated load and optimize it before machining begins. Then we test our finished products beyond SAE standards and use real-life racing variables when determining our test criteria.
Whether on the track or the street we take the safety of you, our customer, very seriously.
ForgeLine centers are created using a 6000 ton hydraulic press - a modernized version of forging proven successful for hundreds of years. The press forges the wheel center into its general shape. It is then CNC machined to create the design style.
Why forged? Forging aligns the grain structure, reduces porosity, and increases uniformity in the material, thereby increasing the strength to weight ratio with consistent results. Forging also allows the use of 6061 material which can be heat treated to be 40% stronger than cast aluminum.
Why use ForgeLine wheels? Experience, dedication, and personal involvement of the owner and employees assure that the quality, strength, durability, and weight of every ForgeLine wheel is unparalleled in the industry.
That is why we have ran ForgeLine wheels on our race cars since 1996. Unmatched quality, weight, strength and pricing.
This is a HUGE deal guys. Race quality, made in the USA forged wheels at a very attractive sale price. You will NOT find any wheel of this caliber in this price point.
*Special does not include center locks, or special finishes. Only 18/18 and 18/19 fitments apply. Call for details. Shipping is not included in pricing. Offer good only through LG Motorsports

Heck of a deal going on here guys,
For those of you that have priced out ForgeLine's in the past, you know this is well less than their normal pricing and it was done just for our friends and family here on the Corvette Forum.
These are top of the line, built in the USA, wheels. Not just another pretty picture. Designed to take the limits of the 24 hrs of Daytona down to picking up a 6 pack at the local 7-11.
If you have any questions about these or any other ForgeLine product, please feel free to ask.
Those that have your orders in now, thank you very much!

Sale has been going great guys, thanks for all of the response and orders.
I believe we are going to keep this going for a few more weeks, so if you are thinking about it....now is a good time to pick up one of the highest quality wheels, made right here in the USA.
Your not going to find a wheel of this quality and weight at this price for long.

Are these offered with through fasteners? Threading a bolt into the aluminum center vs a through bolt and nut aren't even comparable in strength. Would be great if I could get these with through bolts.

Great question..
I talked to Dave (owner) at ForgeLine today about this as I had wondered myself due to some customers wanting to actually see the bolt, not really a strength issue.
Now before we go real far, do keep in mind that every wheel is tested on the computer, in simulations, as well as destructive testing before it ever sees a car. All are done to far exceed the limits you would see at full race pace.
A number of wheel makers have done this before just like BBS and HRE. We have used this as well on the ZR1 and GrandAM car with the new GA3R wheel and have found zero issues with this.
ForgeLine uses helicoils in the center of the wheel to make sure that there is a good engagement of thread between the parts. Dave sent me some data as well if you would like me to show you.
If it wouldn't work on the race track, they are not going to sell it to the customer. Strength and safety are #1
