Just wondering if anyone has used the Forgeline CF201 for track use on their 991.1/2 GT3’s?

(amateur club track days, nothing serious)

If so, how do they stand up to the abuse?

Researching lightweight options however I noticed “not for track use” disclaimer in the fine print for the CF201’s

Thanks in advance

If you're going for lightweight track use Forgelines, I would suggest the GS1R. Know several people who have them on their GT3 and swear by them.

Thanks for the replies. How much do the GS1R weigh? I am having problems locating wheels weights for forgelines-- apparently they don't publish weights?.

My question about the CF201's -- because i have an opportunity to acquire a set of those wheels at a keen price, however i don't see much evidence of them being used in the wild.

I was considering BBS FR-I also

GS1R's are 5 lugs
GA1R's are center lock

I am selling my gloss black GA1R'S
PM me if interested

Try the GT4 forum? One of the guys has one of the first sets of the cf forgelines on his GT4....

ok, got it...I went on the Forgeline website and it only showed GS1R as 5 lug, unless you wanted some $2,200 conversion kit?

The main reason the Carbon+Forged wheels were not designed for track use is that the debris that gets caught in between the caliper and the inner rim shell(rubber with stones attached) will deeply scratch the finish. On an aluminum wheel, it just leaves a small scratch or rubber mark, but on a carbon barrel a stone can impeded itself and get dragged all the way around the barrel. When we eventually design motorsports Carbon+Forged wheels, they will come with a very tough ceramic coating to protect it from such damage. Unfortunately that coating covers up the beautiful carbon fiber inner barrel or we would apply this all the wheels. In addition, knowing we were not promoting the CF line for motorsport use, our main focus was making the wheels lightweight and beautiful, and not a brutally strong and stiff motorsport wheel which adds weight and limits design. Our motorsport CF wheels will obviously check those boxes as well when we develop them.
