Forgeline Introductio
Hello everyone! My name Is Steve Schardt
I purchased a C5 Z06 and having a great time with it! I wanted to make new friends and let everyone know I am here as a resource if you have any questions about wheels, racing or fitments.. Forgeline has been in the wheel business for almost 25 years. My Father owned Dayton Wire Wheel until 2001. He helped me start this company and we have been a family business ever since. My brother Dave runs Operations and I run Sales. I have been on the race track since my first DE at Mid Ohio in 1984. I am the Chief Instructor for the Buckeye Chapter of the BMW Club and I enjoy instructing, especial young talent. I have also been instructing for Street Survival for over 7 years. It is a great organization!
This is my first ever forum so be gentle......Look forward to meeting a lot of new people!!!!

Welcome to the Forum, Steve!
Didn't realize the connection between the two companies. Used Dayton (Classics, I think), many years ago on a '65 Riviera.
