On car builds like these, I only trust Forgeline. They are the strongest light wheel, or the lightest strong wheel, depending on your point of view. These wheels are 18"x 13" & only weigh 18#. But the key is these wheels keep their shape correctly under high G loads which is critical to the tire keeping its shape & optimum contact patch.

This particular wheel is GZ3R. There are 4 models I like & recommend for the best balance of strength & weight:
GA3/GA3R
GW3/GW3R
GX3
GZ3/GZ3R
* In this 18x13 size these wheels cost under $5k.

The basic difference with R model wheels is the cap. Non R wheels come with a regular Forgeline center cap. This works well for all common street hubs & spindles (which are typically 2.78" & smaller). The "R" wheels do not come with caps, typically because the Heavy Duty spindles & hubs they fit over ... Like our Track-Star Spindles/Hubs & Speedway Grand National Floater Hubs which are all 3.06" ... have their own caps that stick through the wheel, as you can see in this photo here.



A lot of people think this is an unlimited budget build. But that's not the case at all. If it were an unlimited budget Build, we'd be running carbon fiber Forgeline wheels, as well as titanium & carbon fiber components throughout the car. Plus we'd have more power than our "base" 700HP LS7. Like 850-900HP. But an all out car would be $600-$700k. This is a $195K car with the sequential shift & big Aero options added, before we add in the second set of wheels. That will include the final wrap.
