Looking for feedback on Forgeline wheels
I have researched many different wheel brands, and different size combinations. I keep coming back to Forgeline. I am basically looking for someone who has a set on a 2004 Z06. I would like to hear what you have to say about you setup.

How is the clearance in the rear with the 305? I am looking for something that does not stick out from under the fender and still allows me to keep the brake ducts in place.
Thank you for your feedback.

ForgeLine is a great company if you haven't done much research on them yet.
They have been doing wheels for a very long time. Everything started a very long time ago with Dayton Wire Wheel company. The son, Dave, started ForgeLine Motorsports over 20 years ago for his love of race cars, and high performance street cars. This is now it's own company, ForgeLine wheels and has been for some time now.
The company designs, engineers, tests, and builds everything right there at the Dayton, Ohio plant. All of their wheels are setup to take the demands of something as hard as the 24 hrs of Dayton right down to smacking a pot hole on the way to work.
We have been using their wheels on our race cars since 1996 and could not be happier.
Very strong, light weight wheel and every single one is hand built to order so the choices on finishes is almost limitless.
Be happy to answer any questions I can about them. Don't be fooled by the number of 'forged' wheel makers out there. ForgeLine does their home work on the grades of material used, and hardware holding the wheels together. To often I have seen a 'forged' center wheel with flexy hoops on it, held together with discount hardware store bolts. Not a good thing. Just do your homework on it.

I'm running 325-30/19s on the rear, with 18s on the front. No modding of the brake tubes, nor does it stick out. I've got iForge wheels, which I love, but bought used. If I were buying new wheels, they'd most likely be CCWs. Great people to do business with, and lots of beautiful styles, in custom ordered fitments.
Nitto Invos, which run a little bit narrower than some brands.

Love your car; looks fantastic. I want to murder out my black Z, too, with the exception of adding a red pinstripe on the rim. I just can't bring myself to have my beautiful iForge wheels painted, and I don't really want to spend the money for a whole set of wheels/tires that I'll have stacked up half the time. With all my big talk, I'll probably never change out my chrome wheels.
