Default Forgeline SP3P 19"/20" Combo!!!

Just got finished putting this little 530rwhp toy together with LG Pro LT's (Thanks Lou and Anthony), LPE camshaft (Thanks John Page), AirCharger, Lamin-X protective light film, LSxEdit tuning, and these amazing Forgeline wheels. Thanks to ForgeLine and WheelSource for their outstanding service and the minimal leadtime. Wheels are Forgeline SP3P in chrome face with chrome lip, 19"x10.5" Front and a 20"x12.5" Rear with a 345/25/20. Looks outstanding, IMHO!!!

OMG that is the sweetness!!!!!!! Im on the border about the film on the headlights but I would surely take it. Those wheels in black would look sweet too. How much for 19/20 forgelines like those.

Yes, slightly lower. Another 1/2" should be perfect.

although it certainly looks nice, i would bet the farm it doesnt ride or handle as good as stock.

when you increase the wheel diameter, you not only add weight in most cases but you place that weight farther out from the center of the wheel. this makes stoping/accel harder because of increased rotational mass.

most cars will feel more sluggish and less nimble when you +1/+2/+3 the wheel/tires

It is Lamin-X.com protective headlight film that is "smoked". Did the headlights while on the car and then foglights, side markers, and tail lights were removed and the film was applied. It was very easy to remove the lights and made it much easier to apply the film and trim. It's not easy but typically anyone who can do "clear bras" should be able to apply the light film.

#1 who doesnt know that?

#2 who cares?

#3 obviously not this guy!

#4 actually the increase width of the wheel do provide more grip as the contact surface area of the tire are increased. so handling is improved in some areas. Its give and take.

i'll agree with #3. its his money, his car, his choice. but not everyone knows about #1 first hand or at all

as for the rest, since the Z06 is "the" performance model built for performance and speed, why degrade it with some candy-a$$ wheels.

peace
