Anyone here have Forgeline wheels on their cars? How's the quality and finish? Are they light weight? TIA for any input.

My introduction to Forgeline wheels was at Mid-Ohio several years ago, when a Firebird (Camaro?) shod with Forgelines broke a wheel and came to rest in the Caroussel. The story on this occasion was that Forgeline had machined these wheels as prototypes, past safe limits.

My next encounter with Forgelines was on a friend's Porsche 928, when the rear Forgelines were found to be badly cracked at c. 4 years of age. The car had been heavily tracked, and Forgeline, to their credit, gave my friend a price break on replacements. Never the less, these are not wheels I'd ever buy if you intend to do lots of track miles on sticky tires. Most likely, they'd be OK for strictly street use on street tires, but who knows. Wheels do wear out, and The Forgelines I've seen have strongly suggested they wear out under duress at least as fast as most.

John - I run 3 sets of Forgelines on my race car and a set on one of my street cars...I'm very pleased with them. I inspect them regularly as I would any wheel that is driven on the track. I can tell you that I've hit my share of curbs on the track and never had even the slightest issue.
I did manage to bent an outer section due to hitting a wall and I have to say that I was very pleased with the low cost to get the wheel halves replaced & rebuilt. You'll find these to be great wheels & great service from the Shardts.
I highly recommend them.
Cheers,
Rick

I have two sets of WC3 Forgelines, one on my racecar Porsche, and one on my street car Ferrari. Very high quality. Very light weight. The finish is exactly what I asked for, and remains as flawless as it was the day I unpacked them. No issues after many years of use.

Another recommendation for Forgelines here. Their products and service are top notch. Just because you have seen one or two broken doesn't mean much honestly. Wheels do have a life span, especially track only ones. I have broken wheels from BBS and Kinesis but still consider them good wheels.

Ed is being, let's say, less than forthcoming with information regarding expected completion date, probable delivery date and the like. Not the level of customer service one expects when spending $110K! I hope my GT3 will rock - or just get here before Hell freezes over!

Jim H. (the 928 driver in my Forgeline post) just bought a breathtakingly gorgeous '04 GT3, making me wonder why I'm spending 25K more for a new one!
