Here we have a Guards Red Porsche Cayman GT4 sitting on the new Forgelines for Wheel Wednesday. After installing suspension upgrades, we installed these Forgeline GS1R 19x9 and 19x10.5 Race Wheels finished in Satin Gunmetal and wrapped with Bridgestone RE71R tires. Special thanks to our NorCal friend Chasen Garcias from SP Motorsports for supplying the wheels & tires, carefully mounted & balanced, ready to go.

Wheels look great. Does a center cap fit on there also?

Fronts are 19lbs and rears are 20lbs. As for the "ride"...the RE71Rs still had their release agent and stickers so I wasn't noticing much, aside from trying not to fly off a curve at some stupid speed.

I believe so, but not opting it.

I have the exact set up - great wheel / tire pkg for track or street. I do believe it rides better due to having a bit more sidewall than the OE set up and you can get a raised bolt on center cap - didn't care for the look so opted not to.

I wouldn't go selling, as i doubt you'll get an allocation any time soon (depends on dealer and your relationship w SA really).

What i was curious about is why BBi didn't do corner balance and alignment on new setup? Makes better sense to do it on a fresh set of unused tires, as opposed to the used (even if like-new).


But congrats on the Forgeline. Sick wheels, and probably best set you can put on this car. FTW!

So happy to see string alignment! I was made a fan last year when my racer buddy let me use his shop to align my car "by hand." Best alignment I've ever had--best handling and best tire wear. I'm a total convert now! (I'll be listening to vinyl records before you know it...oh, I do!)
