Any more Camaro pics? Vette's have different body lines and vastly different profiles so wheels don't crossover. Would love to see some of these wheels on ZL1's!

Me too lol Statistically, I do about 20 sets of Corvette wheels to every Camaro set up and I've been so busy the last year or two that I haven't been updating threads like this. But rest assured, if they look good on the sharp lines of the C7, the will look good on the sharp lines of the Camaro!

Shawn S entrusted us with his beautiful narrow body 2014 C7 Corvette, coming in with a 700whp ECS blower and cam build from another shop, which he was happy with overall. He just wanted us to do something wild and liked all we had going on, so we did the C7 Z06 widebody, the massively aggressive hood, WEAPON-X LT 427 sleeved block, WEAPON-X Big Valve Heads, F1X, 200 shot of nitrous, WEAPON-X Boost Freeze Chiller, G1Pro air to water manifold, and WEAPON-X SPI Kit fueling this ABSOLUTE MONSTER to 1308 WHP at 25 PSI on E72ish pump gas and 1450 WHP with spray! So naturally, he had to get some "Grade A" forged wheels to keep this power to the ground. That kind of power isn't something you trust to cast wheels or risk with the imported "forged" wheels. We went with the lovely Forgeline GA1Rs in a 19x10 and 19x13 with Toyo R888Rs! This car is a monster and Shawn couldn't be happier! Look for this beast to blister some half mile records in the coming year!

8 New Forgeline Wheels to Debut at the 2018 SEMA Show




The engineering team at Forgeline has worked VERY hard, over the past few months, to complete eight brand new wheel designs that will make their public debut, at the 2018 SEMA Show, October 30-November 2, in Las Vegas, NV. These latest designs represent a broad range of styles and applications, while remaining focused on Forgeline’s deeply-rooted commitment to motorsport and performance engineering.

GS1-6 (One Piece Monoblock Series)
Based upon our original 5-lug GS1, the GS1-6 is a 6-lug street-friendly version of our extremely successful GS1R racing wheel that has carried many top-level professional road racing teams to victory! The Forgeline GS1-6 combines the latest in advanced wheel technology, including one piece forged monoblock construction, motorsport engineered design, and I-beamed spokes. And just like the GS1R, the GS1-6 is engineered to withstand the rigors of top-level endurance racing with a 2100 lb street tire load rating and exceptional deflection stiffness. See more (including sizes and pricing) at: https://forgeline.com/wheel/gs1-6/

NW101 (One Piece Monoblock Series)
The striking NW101 continues the exciting evolution in Forgeline monoblock design. It delivers cutting-edge styling with five multi-dimensional split spokes that span integrated lug holes and strong chamfered edges. And the NW101’s relatively open spoke pattern is perfect for showing off the sexy giant brakes that are found on most serious modern performance vehicles. The NW101 is machined from a single forging of 6061-T6 aluminum. It is currently available in 18, 19, 20, and 21-inch diameters with a range of widths and offsets. And just like any Forgeline wheel, the NW101 is available with fully customizable finish options. See more (including sizes and pricing) at: https://forgeline.com/wheel/nw101/

FF1 (One Piece Monoblock Series)
Our handsome FF1 is a one piece forged monoblock version of our extremely popular three piece FF3C. But unlike the FF3C, the Forgeline FF1 is a fully-forged one-piece monoblock wheel that is built utilizing manufacturing technology similar to our very successful GA1R wheel. The concave 5-spoke design of the FF1 looks great and allows plenty of room for caliper clearance and extreme brake fitment, while the one-piece monoblock forging and computer-simulated FEA design process yield a wheel that is ruggedly handsome, extremely stiff, and has excellent fatigue strength. See more (including sizes and pricing) at: https://forgeline.com/wheel/ff1/

SE3C Concave (Concave Series)
Inspired by our friend Anthony Busack, the new Forgeline SE3C forged concave wheel combines a deep-dish concave profile and a seven V-spoke design with full-length spokes that extend all the way through the center’s rim register. And thanks to Forgeline’s unique performance-inspired concave design philosophy and racing-style I-beamed spokes, the SE3C delivers both beauty and performance. See more (including sizes and pricing) at: https://forgeline.com/wheel/se3c-concave/

JO3C (Heritage Series)
When country music sensation James Otto had a vision for the perfect wheel for the pro-touring restoration of his childhood Chevelle, he knew just where to turn. Our engineering team worked with James to create the JO3C, a throwback to the original rally wheel found on Chevelles and Camaro Z/28s of the 1960s and 1970s. But unlike the original, the JO3C is a modern 3-piece wheel that is manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum centers using the latest engineering and manufacturing technology. A traditional five-spoke design with inverted tapered spokes and creative machining details, the JO3C evokes a traditional muscle car flavor while delivering modern technology and performance. See more (including sizes and pricing) at: https://forgeline.com/wheel/jo3c/

FU3C (Concave Series)
The Forgeline FU3C wheel pays homage to the classic Porsche wheel of the 1960s and 1970s. But unlike its predecessor, the FU3C is a modern 3-piece wheel that is manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum centers using the latest engineering and manufacturing technology. The FU3C borrows from the original five-spoke design with dimensional inverted tapered spokes, but rather than just recreate yet another replica, the Forgeline engineering team spent many hours refining our design to create a wheel with a unique distinctly Forgeline character. This resource-intensive process yielded a wheel with a concave center, carefully-tuned proportions, and extended spokes that reach out beyond the rim register and over the stepped lip outer. See more (including sizes and pricing) at: https://forgeline.com/wheel/fu3c/

NT3C (Concave Series)
Designed in collaboration with renowned designer Neil Tjin, the NT3C is full of outside-the-box design features. Combining both retro and modern styling cues, the NT3C features a very strong multi-dimensional precision-machined tapered 5-spoke design, an open lug hub center, and an extremely deep inset rim register with exposed hardware. See more (including sizes and pricing) at: https://forgeline.com/wheel/nt3c-concave/

LS3C Concave (Concave Series)
The LS3C Concave combines the classic mess styling from our Heritage Series LS3 wheel with a concave center profile to create a wheel with elegant looks, timeless character, and plenty of room for caliper clearance and extreme brake fitment. See more (including sizes and pricing) at: https://forgeline.com/wheel/ls3c-concave/

We are very proud to share these latest designs at the 2018 SEMA Show. Though 2018 has been another record-breaking year for Forgeline, we remain committed to continually creating fresh designs, leveraging new technology, and responding quickly to dynamic market opportunities. We THANK YOU for your support, and we look forward to seeing you, in Las Vegas!

After a brief hiatus, Forgeline is back in action with Dymag to reintroduce their Carbon Forged Series!**

Dayton, Ohio’s Forgeline Motorsports and Wiltshire, England’s Dymag Performance Wheels have chosen the 2018 SEMA Show to announce their new joint partnership. Effective immediately, Forgeline and Dymag will be joining forces to continue the success of Forgeline’s revolutionary Carbon+Forged wheel series.

Forgeline Carbon+Forged wheels combine weight-optimized CNC-machined forged aluminum centers with revolutionary proprietary carbon fiber barrels to deliver the ultimate in technological advancement, exclusive styling, and unparalleled lightweight performance. Forgeline first launched their Carbon+Forged Series at the 2016 SEMA Show, where it earned a Global Media Award as a product that has mass appeal to a global audience. Since then, Forgeline has continued to expand the series, now offering at least 4 separate models.

Under the new partnership, Dymag will manufacture and supply their time-tested carbon fiber wheel barrels, and Forgeline will continue to engineer and precision-machine custom made-to-order wheel centers from 6061-T6 forged aluminum. Dymag’s unique flange design (developed in collaboration with the engineering team at Forgeline) allows these separate parts of the Carbon+Forged Series wheels to bolt together to create one incredibly strong, incredibly lightweight, and incredibly unique wheel that is individually engineered, machined, and finished for each customer and each unique vehicle application.

“Our partnership with Dymag is natural fit,” says Forgeline president Dave Schardt. “Both companies have a long history of innovation, technological advancement, and a deep passion for Motorsport. The engineering that goes into the testing and production of these wheels is very complex, and It has been a pleasure working with the Dymag team and merging our respective capabilities. We look forward to using their flanged style carbon fiber barrels and for the opportunity to employ their technology into our growing line of Carbon+Forged hybrid material wheels.”

“Dymag has led the industry in carbon wheel technology for over 20 years, launching the first commercial carbon moto wheel in 1996 and the first carbon hybrid auto wheel in 2004. We are delighted that Forgeline is now partnering with us to utilize our carbon technology,” said Chris Shelley, CEO of Dymag.

Wow! These are special. Love the 205s; the 204s are very nice as well.

Continuing to follow this thread. I appreciate your posts. Thanks Ben.

Reduced un-sprung weight with increased strength, are huge in my thought processes (as are for most enthusiasts) in the purchase in a new set of wheels. Does the hybrid technology reduce the cost of CF/forged alum. wheel combo as opposed to 100% CF? I'm also curious about how the dissimilar material contact areas affect durability.

Wheels: 360Forged - Spec 5, three piece
Sizes: 20x10, 21x12.5"
Finish: Brushed Titanium Face, Exposed Hardware, Chrome Lips
Tires: Pirelli P Zero Nero GT 295/25r20, 375/20r21

WEAPON-X: Carbon Fiber Aero Kit
Akrapovic Exhaust

Welp, I have to say we knocked this one out of the park... and across the street! Darryl has been a great long time client of mine, having had a CTS V prior so we started out with some lowering bolts, wheel spacers, and our WEAPON-X carbon fiber aero kit. The car was already a real success on here from this previous thread:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...bon-fiber.html

Next up was a set of wheels that would set off the chameleon-like Tiger Shark Gray paint. Darryl wanted to keep them light and not do black with the TSG. So, we looked at some wheel choices and he decided to go with the 360Forged Spec5s with the Titanium brushed face with exposed hardware and a chrome lip. The size was my infamous 20x10 and 21x12.5" setup on the Pirelli P Zero Nero 295/25r20s and 375/20r21s. The result was nothing short of spectacular! :thumbs:*

Yes the CF line is pretty hot! I was close to getting a set for the ZR1 in a partnership with Forgeline cutting a WEAPON-X designed wheel, but we are waiting till after SEMA for this one.

Yes and no as far as cost. The CF series is around $16K, like the full CF wheels; however, they have margin in them for dealer networks, so I can come in thousands less.

Price aside, the rotational weight difference is incredible! Ford found this out when testing the GT350R.

CASE STUDY on a competitor:
You are losing a whopping 65lbs rotating mass when going from the OEM wheels and tires to the Carbon Forged wheels. The Mustang GT350R has a carbon fiber wheel option and they did a back to back test vs. the aluminum standard wheels which were only a 56lb difference and the results were pretty astonishing.


Now granted a lot of bench racing can go on here, GT350R is a couple hundred pounds lighter than a ZL1, but has 90HP less. At the end of the day, these light weight wheels appear to be worth their weight in gold!

I have another set of WXM Forged SPECx10 wheels wrapping up in carbon fiber centers with transparent red lips in a Z06 fitment! Looking forward to seeing these on the car





The last set I did was on my VR4 project car, grew up in one of these back in college... fond memories with this one. Found her with just 20k miles on it, single turbo upgrade, built 3.1L engine, the whole 9 making 1000whp with a Precision 7276! It's about to return home from getting the widebody kit to tuck the SPECx10s.* The 1999 was one of 277 ever made and I'd bet there are less than 25% of them that didn't end up parted out.
