Default FORGELINE GA1R release Rennlist Specials!

As many have seen in another thread, Forgeline has released their new monoblock forged GA1R. The pics shown in another thread are of the very first set. We have been working with Forgeline for a long time now and have secured 5 sets of the new GA1R that we can offer special pricing on to Rennlisters.

Here is what Forgeline says about their new GA1R wheel:

"The GA1R is a fully-forged one-piece monoblock wheel that utilizes much of the technology and design of our very successful GA3R racing wheel, including our new "I-Beamed Spoke" technology. The concave design of the GA1R not only looks great, but allows plenty of room for caliper clearance and extreme brake fitment, while the one-piece monoblock forging and I-Beamed spoke design yield a wheel that is extremely stiff with fatigue strength equal to our proven GA3R. And yet despite the strength and stiffness, for most applications and sizes, it also delivers a high-performance weight reduction - making it perfect for motorsports and racing applications!"

Currently the wheel is available only in sizing as follows:

18x9 +47 C/L, 18x12 +47 C/L, 997.2 GT3RS
18x9 +50, and 18x12 +52 997 Widebody Fitment (5 Bolt)

A wider variety of widths and offsets (18 and 19 inch) will be available starting in November with full production of all sizes in January.

The GA1R comes standard in your choice of Powder Coat colors that Forgeline offers.

Retail pricing for the GA1R is $4900.00/set. We have 5 sets available at special Rennlist pricing, email or PM us for details. We can also put a tire package together to go with your new wheels.

Here are some pics of the GA1R

Great looking wheel by a great company....and the price...OMG! These new Forgelines beat the heck out of GMG and BBS monblocks!

I bought my Forgelines from Jeff at Pacific Western and he and Dave at Forgeline have been great to deal with and answering all my questions I bombed them with...LOL

Hey Greek...don't feel bad...these Forgeline monblocks don't have the offset for a GT3...yet....the rear would fit my GTS but not the front offset. I'm sure this winter if you change your mind when Forgeline has the offsets for GT3 you can sell your GA3R easy since Forgeine has a great reputation.
