My next set of wheels will be from Forgeline.

Regards, Dave

I have the GA1R in 18x9 and 19x12......the quality is unbelievable and they are incredibly light (around 18 lbs front and 20.5 lbs rear). I looked at the GA3R and liked it but fell in love with the one piece concave GA1R. You can't go wrong either way......top notch stuff.

Agreed. Wheels are good, but service is stellar. Dave has been on top of everything. 2nd set of wheels will be Foregline as well....

I just checked out their website for the first time - probably the most informative wheel website I've ever visited.

I'm really happy to hear that their service is top shelf, too. Tempted.

Hi All,

I have been running Forgeline's for the past 5 years, some 3 or 4 sets of wheels later (I keep selling my cars...duh!) I have have had superb experiences each time.

I currently have a set of track running GA3-R's on my 997 GT3 and also have a set of GA1R monoblock's on the way for the street.

See this thread and go to page 5 for some great close up photos of my GA3-R's, I highly recommend them for a track application.

Feel free to PM me any specific questions.

Cheers!
Doug N

I've had a set of GA3Rs on my C6 Z06 for a year and a half, and they have been great. Light, strong, and look good.

Yes, I have 19" GA3R centerlocks as a track set and love them. Spec'd with gloss black outers and matte black inners. Had offset issues with my initial build but Forgeline was great to work with and made me a new set to address the issues. Very light and well-made forged wheels that won't empty your wallet from a company with excellent customer service so I highly recommend them.

Met Dave Schardt at the Ross Bentley seminar in Dayton Saturday. I just bought some OZ Superforgiattas, and love them, but would have bought wheels from Dave had I known about him and Forgelines first. Despite buying the OZ wheels, Dave taught me alot about wheels in general, and his specifically. The one piece Forgelines are very light, and made here. In Dayton. Next set will likely be Forgeline.

Dave and Ross are both first class folks! Have known Ross for years.

If we can help anybody out with a new set of Forgelines at a great Rennlist price, let me know!

Cheers
