Default Pictures of my new Forgeline wheels

Thanks to LG Motorsport and their great service these wheels had no problem taking the journey from one side of the world to the other.

Got the wheels on the car this week and I'm quite happy with how they look.

Wheels look great. Did you go with factory sizes? how did they mount the pressure sensors? What lug nuts did you go with? How much were they? you can pm me if you want.

thanks

WHOA! Seriously man that is absolutely one of the nicest Z's I have ever seen, the wheels look fantastic!!! What size? Looks like 18's and 19's, how much lighter than stock?

Yes....I choose to stay with factory sizes. Bigger wheels add more weight and thats not my cup of tea.

The wheels are prepared for the TP sensors. You just screw them on.

Also the lug nuts are standard.

With shipping to Europe I paid $5100.....add to that swedish VAT and taxes.....so I ended up around $5800. Would be cheaper for you as you liven in the US.

Those wheels do look very nice on that Z06. Great color combination. My main concern was the sensors and i didnt want to do the strap method because it looks rigged and would probably come loose later. I heard that Forgeline has brackets internally mounted for the sensors, which is how it should be.

i really like those wheels and think lg is a great place too.

the chrome rim is really nice and i like that it sort of follows the design intent of the original wheel with the split 5 spoke. just enough to be diffrent but not crazy.

Also have to agree with the fact they don't detract from the car. The wheels are still spoked, and look gorgeous.
