ForgeLine GA1R at LG Motorsports
Jim was one of the very first orders of ForgeLine GA1R's and this is the very first picture of a set on a Corvette. These were taken at Texas World Speedway this past weekend.
AWESOME Jim!

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!

Notice any big changes in how the car drives? Big change in weight with the wheels and tires on the car. Should have pulled over 30 lbs off the car.

The wheels are awsome. The pictures do not do justice to the detail in material removal. The consistent question last weekend was "what kind of wheels are those and where did you get them?"

The car "feels" lighter and seems to get to speed easier. A 7.5 lb reduction per corner in rolling mass is probably about right, a bit more if you go from a run-flat to the Hoosiers. Not much of a weight difference between the full slicks and the R6's (which I run in Time Trials) but the grip is significantly greater.

I've had them in my hands so I know what they look like close up...on the car..WOW.
Still to this day is the lightest Alum. wheel I have seen for a Corvette.
