Default New ForgeLine SS3P wheels

Hi all,

A few months ago I posted up that ForgeLine was going to be making some new wheel designs. We just received our first set of the new SS3P that is going on our in house 2008 LS3 R&D car along with Z06 rear fenders to take the massive 20x13" rear wheels. The fronts are a 19x9.5 and are built to house a new HUGE StopTech kit.

Tires shown are Michelin 275/30/19 and 325/25/20's (345's were on back order at the time ).

I know the famous question, how big are the lips? Since these were built to cover a large brake kit, soon to be shown, they need a lot of spoke to caliper clearance and the lip has to be done smaller to do so. The front is a 1" lip, and the rear is a 2.75". Again if you were using standard brakes we can increase this but it will decrease the brake room.









Wheels shown with polished lips, Gunmetal powder coated centers, and black powder coated inners. Standard hardware shown as well. Titanium bolts and jet nuts are optional.

Once the body work is complete I will have pictures of the wheels on the car .

Those look pretty good. Love the painted look as opposed to polish or chrome on a sports car.

Pricing will vary on finish, size, and options.

Sizes range from 18x7.5 all the way up to 20x13.

Let me know what you had in mind, and I will give you a build sheet.
