Special thanks to Dave Schardt of Forgeline Wheels who really bent over backwards to get these wheels to me prior to Road America on Monday. I am really impressed with the quality of these wheels. Since everyone always asks for pics, got out the camera this morning to shoot some quick images.

Those are good lookin. I like the low-key branding on the wing as well; vinyl? Sizes, weights, offsets?

Thank you much I really like the design and how light they are compared to the factory wheels. The wing decal is a flat black vinyl, and the fronts are 18x9- ET43 and weigh 19.5#, and the rears are 18x11- ET62 and weigh 21.5#, powder coated silver.

Welcome to the club! I got the same wheels in Red and just ran them at my first track day - they were awesome (more on this in a separate thread).

Very nice, such a classic look, and that's not even accounting for performance

The wheels look great on the car - very clean design which works well with the 6GT3
Is there anyone here that can actually feel the improved handling of these forged lightweight wheels over stock ? Just curious

One of the best 1-piece wheels i've seen for the 6GT3. Very nice!

beautiful wheels. a friend of mine has them and loves them. i also am in the process of buying a set of wheels . strictly for track. i was looking at the OZ sold by tire rack . they seem about the same weight and are a bit less expensive. do others have these and are they a good option thanks

I have the OZ Alegerittas (sp) and love them. Great value IMHO.
