Yes I'm running an 18x12" on them in a monoblock or 3pc wheel and can ship with drag radials, mounted, balanced, and TPMS. I feel the AR1s are the closest to OEM wheels without the "forks" at the end of the spokes and can do them in gloss black, silver, etc. What color are your rims?

Yes, the 20" MT drag radials are way too big oddly for most sports cars to use without rubbing. They need to stay under 28" OD. What color are your rims?

What size drag radial would you prefer, the shorter MT 315/30r18 or the taller MT 345/35/r18? I'm going to be running the latter but am over 800whp.

Let me know if you want to get a set going as well!

Default Forgeline S03P - a timeless design

I do have to say I LOVE a good 5 star wheel and this takes me back some and I know a few of you guys have asked me about this wheel. This timeless classic is the S03P. You can get it with or without the exposed hardware and this design allows for a great lip. I've been talking to Steve about doing a set of these for my C7 for awhile now but wanted to wait to get the widebody on to get as much lip as possible. Stay tuned for spring

The Forgeline SO3P is a classic five-spoke 3-piece wheel design. Each wheel is built with forged 6061-T6 aluminum centers, 6061-T6 spun rim halves, and stainless steel aircraft-grade ARP fasteners. It features a powder coated or polished center finish with a polished, power coated, or chrome outer lip. The SO3P is available in sizes ranging from 18x7.5 to 22x13. And since each wheel is built to order, Forgeline can offer special features like custom offsets and a choice of center finishes.

3-Piece Premier Series Wheel
Deep Flat-Lip Design (optional stepped-lip also available)
Aircraft-Grade Stainless Steel ARP Fasteners
Generous Brake Clearance
Forged 6061-T6 Aluminum
Heat-Treated Rim Shells



Sizes options
I can get you OEM 18/19 or 19/20" Z51 sizes for you street guys and for you track guys I can do an 18x10" square setup as well as a drag setup with 18x6 and 18x11" for LT1 and 18x12.5" for Z06 guys with a 345 MT DR. I can fit the Z06 sizes of 19x10 and 20x12" on the LT1 car with 325 rears for those looking for a more aggressive look.

Finishes are endless as far as the face of the wheel and the lip!

Center or Monoblock Finish - Standard Powder Coat

Default Forgeline SC3C-SL

The Forgeline SC3-SL look amazing on the C7 Corvette! I got the opportunity to do a setup for Gary in 20x9, 21x12" with some massive 325 Pirellis and they weighed LESS than OEM 18/19" wheels and Michelin ZP tires! Seeing these really made me want a red C7!

While the original Forgeline Concave Series wheels are designed with a flat reverse lip, the SC3C-SL Concave Stepped Lip wheel uses a standard stepped lip rim to deliver even more visual interest and weight savings! This wheel was designed for today's modern sports cars. The Forgeline SC3C-SL forged concave stepped lip wheel combines a deep-dish concave profile, a split five-spoke pattern (with full-length spokes that extend beyond the center’s rim register), and a weight-saving stepped lip rim shell. And thanks to Forgeline’s unique performance-inspired concave design philosophy and beveled spokes, the SC3C-SL delivers both beauty and performance. Like all Forgeline Concave Series wheels, the SC3C-SL locates the pad inboard of the outer rim to deliver depth and scale within the wheel center for a modern muscular look. Available in both deep concave profiles (for the most striking appearance) and shallow concave profiles (to create a staggered look or to accommodate narrow widths or higher-offset applications), these 3-piece wheels.

Default Busy week!

Pulled FOUR sets of the Pirelli 375mm rear tires for C7 orders. More to come

You'll see a set of GT1s and also DE3Cs on them very soon, as well as a set of gloss black AR1s in 19/20!

Until then, here's a reminder why I love Forgeline wheels! Whether you're looking for OEM 19/20" setups, or 20/21" setups! I'm your #1 C7 dealer!

Default 2015... another great year for weaponX and Forgeline wheels!

With the Z06 hitting the streets, it's already been a busy year with rim/tire packages. Here's the weaponX Z06 client list is growing daily!

THESE ARE ALL C7 Z06 fitments!

Doug's OEM size GZ3Rs on Michelin Supersports




Rick's GA3Rs with centerlock on Michelin Supersports




Doug's 20/21" GT1 on 375mm Pirelli




David's 18" drag setup AR1s with Mickey Thompson tires




Jeff's 19/20" AR1s with Michelin Supersports




Brad's 20/21" DE3C-SLs on 375mm Pirelli




weaponX 18x6/18x13" THROW BACK drag wheels with max lip on MT345s




AND although not a Z06, just got an order for 20/21" rims in being built for a 2200hp hyper car on the C6 frame and ZR1 carbon wheels. More on this to come, I can't say much now but WOW JUST WOW! One:1 contender for sure. It will debut at the LA Auto Show. I'll drop some pics of it when I'm permitted if you guys care... I dunno some of you guys don't like anything not Corvette lol but I spent over an hour talking to one of the main investors and again all I can say is WOW. I was just reading an article about the Koenigsegg One:1 last on my way to Mexico last week and I was wondering what it would truly take to make a hypercar. I have a really good idea now!

Default Rox

Rox reached out to me a little before SEMA and had asked about wheel options and finishes. He wanted some shine to them and was considering all polished until I told him about the brushed finish with the high polished edges and polished lips. He went out to SEMA and took a look at a lot of wheels and came back with his decision!

Forgeline SC3s with brushed face, polished edges, and polished lips on Michelin tires

The high luster goes very well with the AW paint!

Default Another set of GW3Rs in 18x12" for a Z06!

Your #1 Forgeline dealer's 11th set of wheels for C7s already THIS YEAR are going on Fausto's Z06! He wants a 19lb 18x12" H-town track setup GW3R in wild race gold centers and polished lips!

I've done this on a 700whp CTS V coupe but this is a first for a Z06.

Default CRM C7 and and Forgeline GA1Rs... a Valentine's Day match made in heaven!

Brian sent some pics of his C7 we did with the super light weight GA1Rs on Toyo R888s to keep his 700hp supercharged Vette planted.

You'll also see my weapon7 spoiler on there

I want a set that is finished Spectral Grey and on a 1-piece forged wheel that is preferably lighter and as strong or stronger than the stock wheels. No deep dish. What do you suggest?
Thanks.

That's not a problem at all. Do you want 19/19"? 19/20"?
These are Forgeline GA1RS Open Lug in 19x10.5/19x13" that are nearly 20lbs lighter than OEM. Tires are 295/345 MPSS.



I can do 19/20" in the same size and send tires and TPMS complete too.

Here are AR1s and I have a set in for a Z06 now in 19/20"


I have two sets of GT1s in now for Z06/7s so these will look awesome!


Here are the SE1s


SE1s again in chrome


RB1s in 20/20
