Default ** New ForgeLine News from LG Motorsports **

Hey guys,

Wanting to find something special for your Corvette this year? Need to change the look, and performance at the same time? Look no further than ForgeLine for a custom set of three piece forged alloy wheels.

Wanting an 18/19 combo? Check out the new D3S and GA3 wheels. Like all of ForgeLine's wheels these are a true three piece wheel with forged 6061-T6 alum. centers. Race quality right out of the box! Fully customizable in almost any color combo and size so you can tailor to your theme and look.


D3S


GA3




Competition
GA3R

We were one of the first teams this year to use the GA3R wheel in competition. These came to us at Watkin's Glen by Dave himself. Great wheel and a natural evolution of the competition line. New spoke design and scalloped out spokes reduce the weight even further while increasing wheel stregth from the ZX3R wheel. Currently can be built in 18 and 19" fitments only. Center caps are not included and are optional.











Want to really stand out?

Center Lock Conversions.

When you order your custom set of ForgeLine wheels, ask to really set yourself off with a functional set of center locks. Wheels must be built to include the center locks, so they are not retro to older wheels. Option includes, adapters, drive pins, nuts, and socket to remove. There are a number of options on color and style of the center lock. Just like the race cars they are left hand and right hand thread. *Not all models will accept center locks







Remember wheels shown here can be built in any number of sizes and colors.


Trust your Corvette to have a race quality, light weight wheel that is designed, tested, and built right here in the USA . These wheels see more action than just posing for a pretty picture. Quality, Performance, and Customer Service that is second to none. Ask myself or Bobby here to walk you through all of the colors, finishes, and options for a truely one off set of wheels today.

Currently the only 17" wheel I can do is the ZX3R. I do believe there will be some more 17" fitments coming late this year however.

Thanks.
Let me check with Scott Monday morning for exact weights as the wheels I have here are 18x11 and 18x11.5 which is what we have on the GrandAm car.

The GA3R front should be around 20.5 lbs and the rear should be only 1 lb heavier. The normal GA3's would be roughly 1/2 lb heavier from that.

Stock wheels should be 24.6 lbs front and 25-26 lbs each on the rear from what I have seen.

Just got these pictures from ForgeLine today..

Center lock ZX3R's on a C6Z






Now that is SWEET! Remember we can do this for almost any of the ForgeLine wheels, and you do have your choice on a few different colors for the center lock nuts as well.

Also, I had a couple questions asked of me today that I thought I would share if anyone was wondering about the center lock option.

The adapters are 100% true hubcentric when they bolt to the car. The wheel sits on a taper on the inside and of course on the nut on the outside. The factory (or aftermarket) wheel studs have screw on adapters that now become your drive pins to drive the wheel.

That way you know your wheel will be running 100% true when attached!
