Default OEM size SC3-SL brushed face polished lips!

For those of you that don't want to lose any of the show, the finish on these wheels are a great option! Ended up going with brushed/cleared face, mirror polished sides for that chrome like look, and polished lips! Turned out great on the AW car with some extra white out!

Yet another winner from your #1 C7 wheel dealer... it's not just a claim, the amount of wheels racking up on the weaponX scoreboard from client pics shows it

Default Another trip to Forgeline yesterday

Your go-to wheel vendor made another trip by Forgeline yesterday to pick up some wheels I was delivering to a customer and Steve and David never cease to amaze me. Here are a bunch of newbs heading to a Ferrari race team. Seeing this many monoblock GA1Rs sitting there with their hubs bored for center lock wheels as well as the open lug light weight options was pretty awesome!






With so many of you guys looking at light weight racing wheels, Forgeline is my proven go to because of their track history.

Forgeline just shared more pics of their car. I did a set like this on a VY Z06 Z07 too in Carbon Flash that I'm trying to get some pics of when it cleans up in his area. That owner and I worked with Forgeline to get them to offer the powder coat color for C7 Corvette owners.

Our in-house project Corvette C7 Z06 is equipped with the factory Z07 performance package,including giant carbon fiber brakes and the complete suite of factory aero enhancements. We've also equipped it with a set of drop spindles from LG Motorsports and these 19x10 & 20x12 one piece forged monoblock Forgeline AR1 wheels with a Brushed and Tinted Clear finish.

Tony got his new 18x6" and 18x12.5" drag wheels for his Z07! They turned out incredible.
