Forgeline’s new Forged Monoblock Single Beadlock and 18 x 5.0 Forged Monoblock ‘Skinnies’ wheels earned Global Media Awards at the 2019 PRI Show.
“We are extremely proud that both of these new, innovative wheel designs have been recognized for Global Media Awards at the PRI Show,” said Forgeline president Dave Schardt. “Our Forgeline team continues to demonstrate that everything is possible through dedication and a commitment to innovation.”
The one-piece, forged aluminum Forged Monoblock Single Beadlock wheels attach to the tire via a locking ring and 21 fasteners. Offered in GS1R Beadlock and CF1 Open Lug Beadlock designs, these new wheels aim to limit unwanted tire slip against the wheel with lower tire pressures – particularly on a hard launch – and prevent the tire from unseating at high speeds. They also feature a one-piece design, with no welding or assembly fasteners and are designed to provide adequate brake system clearance for vehicles featuring large-diameter brake rotors.
Complementing the beadlock wheels are the new, GS1R 18 x 5.0 Forged Monoblock Skinnies, which feature one-piece, forged monoblock construction of proprietary 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. They are designed for drag racing front-wheel applications, which includes the narrow forging and a full set of revised performance metrics to make the 18 x 5.0-inch GS1R ‘Skinny.’
PRI’s Global Media Awards program recognizes products for their likely interest by a worldwide motorsports audience, as determined by a panel of racing and performance journalists from around the world.
