After more than 25 years of producing the most highly regarded and technically advanced wheels for professional road racing applications, Forgeline has directed our experience and capability toward the drag racing industry and developed the all-forged GS1R-6 Beadlock wheel. The GS1R-6 Beadlock is a unique single beadlock wheel that is designed specifically for vehicle applications with 6-lug hubs, including the Dodge Viper.
Unlike most traditional drag racing wheels, Forgeline’s forged monoblock single beadlock GS1R-6 Beadlock wheel is carved entirely in one piece from a single forging of 6061-T6 aluminum using an advanced precision machining process. This forged monoblock technology has proven successful, for many years, at the highest levels of road racing, and Forgeline is excited to apply it to beadlock wheels for straight line racing applications.
The GS1R-6 Beadlock wheel is very similar to our track-proven GS1R road racing wheel with one big exception: It has been re-engineered to include a special bolt-on outboard beadlock ring that, like the wheel itself, is also precision-machined from forged 6061-T6 aluminum. This forged aluminum ring holds the tire securely in place, to limit unwanted tire slip against the wheel, and to keep the tire from unseating, at very high speeds. The forged beadlock ring is secured to the wheel with a series of 21 standard lightweight titanium bolts.
Forgeline’s new One Piece Forged Monoblock GS1R-6 Beadlock 6-lug wheel is available to order immediately in 17, 18, and 19 inch diameters in a range of widths and custom offsets & fitments. And just like any Forgeline wheel, the GS1R-6 Beadlock is available with fully customizable finish options. Note: This wheel requires special machining to fit our optional Open Lug Center Caps. If you wish to use an optional Open Lug Center Cap, then you must specify, when placing your order!
