Available in 17 to 24 inch diameter with custom widths and offsets, this new wheel is perfect for that throwback look on your Porsche. The 1pc monoblock wheel is very lightweight and strong.

Mercedes AMG GT-C Yellow on Tinted Brushed VR Forged D05 Wheels

The Mercedes AMG GT is the German version of the Dodge Viper. Its long hood hiding the 4.0L Bi-Turbo V8 engine that produces nearly 600 horsepower makes this an underrated sports coupe IMO. These cars are super capable of crushing at the track. The AMG GT-R did the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 10 seconds whereas the AMG GT Black Series crushed times at 6 minutes 43 seconds. Having been in production since 2016, the AMG has gone through some changes and is available in different variants. Like all wheels, going with a lighter weight forged monoblock wheel will help improve acceleration as you save 3x in static weight over stock wheels. But of course, upgrading wheels dramatically improves the look of the car.  This 2019 Mercedes AMG GT-C features a set of our VR Forged D05 wheels. The front wheels are a 20×9.5 +50mm weighing 11.1kg and the rear are 21×11.5 +45mm weighing 12.6kg. For tires we went with a 245/35/20 and 325/25/21. The wheels have been finished in a dark tinted brush and clear.

Upgrade Your Wheels: New VR Forged Designs!

0
When you dive into the world of car modifications, the first upgrade on your list should definitely be a set of aftermarket wheels. There’s just no comparison between those factory wheels and the stunning, high-performance options available today. If you want your ride to look as good as it performs, you need quality wheels—and quality rhymes with VR Forged!

Why Forged Wheels?

Before we unveil our latest VR Forged designs, let’s talk about why investing in forged wheels is essential. When shopping for wheels, you’ll encounter three main manufacturing processes: cast, flow-forged, and forged.
  1. Cast Wheels: While these are often the most affordable, cast wheels are heavier and generally weaker, making them less ideal for performance vehicles.
  2. Flow-Forged Wheels: These are a step up, combining both casting and forging techniques. Although they offer better performance than cast wheels, they still can’t match the strength and weight savings of forged options.
  3. Forged Wheels: This is where the magic happens! Forged wheels are crafted from a solid block of aluminum that undergoes a 10,000-ton press to compact the metal, resulting in an extremely lightweight and incredibly strong wheel. The benefits are clear: lighter wheels lead to improved handling and performance, making forged wheels a no-brainer for serious car enthusiasts.

Introducing Our Latest Designs

Now that we’ve established why you need forged wheels, let’s take a closer look at some exciting new designs from the VR Forged lineup!

The VR Forged D03-R has become the iconic style of the VR wheel brand. Its tuner inspired design fits almost any vehicles body lines. Our customer Jonathon wanted to give his already heavily modified BMW M3 F80 the finishing touches with a set of D03-R. The 20×9.5 and 20×11 wheels are a good flush fitment for both the Sedan and Coupe. Jonathon even lowered his Yas Marina Blue car with H&R springs. Because these are 1pc forged monoblock wheels, they are extremely lightweight and strong. With his BM3 Stage 2 ECU flash and XHP transmission tune, this helps deliver the power to the pavement. His power mods dont stop there though! He has also added a MAD midpipe, downpipes, CTS intake, ARM chargepipes, and made sure to upgrade the crank hub with a Vargas one. All in all this is one amazing looking BMW M3 proudly rocking the VR Forged wheels! Check out our BMW M3 instock wheels here and don’t forget we can custom make any VR Forged wheel for your vehicle!
