Forgeline GA1R


Rear titanium


Front titanium



Spoke detail


Rear 5 lug red

The new GA1R is a fully forged 1-peice monoblock wheel using the technology and design elements of our very successful GA3R. They are currently available in limited quantities
18x9 +47 C/L, 18x12 +47 C/L, and
18x9 +50 5-bolt, and 18x12 +52 5-bolt.
Other 18" and 19" wheels will start becoming available in early November and we will be in full production of all sizes by January.
These wheels are extremely stiff and fatigue strength is off the charts as well.
The weights are as follows:
18x9 C/L 19 lbs
18x12 C/L 22 lbs
18x9 +50 18 lbs
18x12 +52 21 lbs

Standard finishes include silver, gun metal and black. Custom colors are available as well.

Forgeline GA1R

Hi Scott,

This is a great-looking wheel. I found these on the Forgeline website here.

It mentions stiffness and weight. So is it fair to infer that the one-piece is both stiffer and lighter than a comparably sized three-piece like the GA3R?

What about durability and repairability? I have always been under the impression that 3-piece wheels are easier and less expensive to fix...

Looking good. Been thinking about some new wheels with more aggressive offset than my OEM CL Spyders on the GTS.

Thanks for all the comments. We have shipped out quite a few sets but have yet to recieve any photos yet. We will post some as soon as possible.
To JComesky, yes, a 1 piece forged wheel will be stiffer and slightly lighter than a 3 piece wheel.
