Thanks man I try!
Ahhh yes, my nemesis (in his mind) LOL. If you only knew how many times he has tried to attack me both to my face and to customers on the CorvetteForum only to apologize later. kind of odd as he's usually more worried about what I'm doing than what he's doing, but if you read between the lines with his usual

Inline with Can'tHave2MuchHP, you have an exemplary business model. Your services offered, products and customer service are prodigious.

My amazing and beautiful wife supports/tolerates my carcaine habit, but if I order a set of those legendary CF wheels; she will probably kill me while I sleep.

Thanks for all of your posts here Ben.
thanks man, I love a lot of stuff, so I'm usually spread pretty thin

All things in due time my friend... but I keep tell you to help a little, but let him earn the rest. My parents helped with about 15-20% of my college as I recall. Loans paid the rest, I paid the loans.

WEAPON-X Dragster Kit on Josh N's C7 Corvette! Forgeline GA3Rs

Now I'll preface this with you Camaro guys have more luck with sizes because cheaper wheels like Welds won't clear the C7 rear suspension, even in 18s, so they have to look at a forged wheel barrel. Even the front of the ZL1 required a 20" wheel due to the massive brakes until recently. But if you want a drag setup that is light weight and custom, Forgeline rocks! My C7 ZR1 wheels in an 18x8.5 with Hankook and 18x12.5 with Hoosiers, weigh just 40 and 46lbs COMPLETE respectively!

C7 Corvette Stingray
Wheels: Forgeline GA3R
Sizes: 18x6, 18x11
Offsets: WEAPON-X Spec
Tires: Mickey Thompson Sportsman fronts, ET Street SS 305 rears

Josh reached out to me wanting to HOOK on the street. He doesn't have any problems now!

"Hey Ben, I got my wheels today and man they hook up like crazy!!!"

WEAPON-X Forged: VIRAL 21x13" rear!

C7 ZR1
Wheel: WEAPON-X Forged: VIRAL 2 piece wheel
Sizes: 20x11, 21x13
Offsets: WEAPON-X Spec
Tires: Pirelli P Zero Nero GT 305/25r20, 375/20r21

This is a wheel I designed for my self, inspired by a set of wheels that I had previously; however, I wanted to IMO improve some things aesthetically, like the area around the hub, reuse of the OEM carbon caps, and my raised face profile to exaggerate the concavity. I need to get a video of them moving, because this feature really makes for some jaw dropping "chop"

My ZR1 wheels are the duoblock sytle, looking like a monoblock on the face with floating spokes over the lips and thus allowing you to do different colored barrels, hardware accents, etc! Mine were machined to reuse the OEM carbon ZR1 center caps too



And the finished product on mine is once again Black Ice! The color looks really good, dark in low light, gleam in sun shine and we'll be once again fitting these up in the super rare Pirell GT Nero 305/375s!



They're all done from black chroming and assembled and will be here tomorrow to mount up and rock out!!







Had some fun around town today!

Next up is Hugo's C7 Z06 making 1200whp, done by my friends down at JMS in TX! He ordered these brushed raw to have them color matched to the rest of his details and they turned out killer! He reached out to me looking for all purpose street/roll racing wheels so we did 19s with the anticipated R888Rs after his powder coater handled the color match. Check out the billet LME manifold matched

Customer Comments: "Love them! Wish I had ordered center caps for them. LoL but yes I love the look and peace of mind with a high quality forged wheel."

Robert C's C7 Z06 - 360Forged Straight5 CARBON Edition

This is the first 360Forged feature of many to come on the C7Zs!

WEAPON-X did it up again with Robert on his Tiger Shark Gray Z06 Z07! He saw the wheels I did for Cecil and wanted to do a set of carbon fiber centered wheels with color matched lips in 20/21, so he reached out to the C7 wheel guru. I continue to try and bring you new original photos of the wheel setups I do. :thumbs:

Wheels: 360Forged Straight5's with exposed lips
Finish: Carbon Fiber layered center
Shark Gray color matched lips and exposed color matched hardware
Satin black inners
Sizes: 20x10, 21x12.5"

Tires: Pirelli P ZERO Nero GT tires in 295/25r20, and the massive 375/20r21

What do you think?





Phenomenal DISH with the color matched lips!








375/20r21














The END (checkout those massive Pirelli 375 meats under there )

Cecil M's C7 Z06 - 360 Forged: Straight 5 in Carbon Fiber with Color Matched Lips!

Cecil has been a great customer over the years, having started with his rowdy gen 2 CTS V coupe, onto his C7 Z06, and then lastly a Jag XKR. His C7 Z06 was a Laguna Blue 2015, and I can recall helping him out and getting his order going while my wife and I were down on vacation in Cabo Trust me, I never stop working! He loved the carbon fiber and we did the color matched exposed blue lips on these 360 Forged Straight 5 wheels!

He also added our carbon fiber WEAPON7 splitter, rocker blades, diffuser, and spoiler!

WEAPON-X Forged: FASTx5 Wheels on Tony's WEAPON-X.1200 C7 Z06

Here is a set I designed for Tony C's WEAPON-X.1200 Procharged C7 Z06 we did! Tony wanted something unique, so we did a split spoke, raised face profile in a duoblock which allows you to have the longer more concave spokes have a monoblock, but also gives you a lot more customization options with floating spokes over the register, hidden or exposed hardware (bolts around the flange where the two halves bolt together) and the option for a different colored inner barrel. To add more uniqueness to these, we actually brushed the faces and anodized them in black and had a satin clear on them for a really unique finish! I take great pride in our wheels from inception, to completion! So, if you guys want me to bring your idea to life, hit me up!

Wheels: WEAPON-X Forged: FASTx5 Duoblock (2pc) Whees
Finish: Brushed, Anodized Black with Satin Clear, Race Yellow color matched inners
Sizes: 19x10, 20x12.5
Offsets: WEAPON-X Spec
