Red face New Light-weight Forgeline Shoes on SharkWerks GT3RS

Well it's winter so I figured we needed new shoes for our blue/orange RS. We went with Forgeline's GA1R centerlocks (thanks to the guys for as promised delivery and exact weights too!). These are a good bit lighter than stock too...

Stock front:


GA1R front:


Stock rear:


GA1R rear:


Very cool weight reduction


Installed:

Forgeline are my favorite wheels for the track. Great quality, great looking, light, and reasonably priced.

Those are great! OEM+ style and much lighter to boot. Forgeline makes good stuff and are a pleasure to work with.

^ I couldn't have said these quotes better myself!

Great set up Sharky! I had a set of GA1R's and GA3R's for my GT3.2 in 19inch sizes and loved them. And I am planning a set of 18inch GA3R's for my new track mobile, a fully sorted 993 C2 with lots of goodies.

Cheers!
