With the first official practice for the Intercontinental Trophy Cup (ITC) series just weeks away, officials are pleased to announce a deal with FORGELINE as the official supplier for high-performance wheels for both P1 and P2 classes in the Porsche Cayman based series.


FORGELINE is please to feature their newest competition wheel, the GA3R.

The GA3R is produced using traditional forging method utilizing 6061-T6 aluminum with heat-treated rim-shells. The GA3R is also fully customizable in fitment and finish, including center-lock applications.
