Forgeline is Bringing the Shelby GT500CR Carbon to the 2026 PRI Show

Forgeline is bringing carbon-fiber muscle to Indianapolis, where the stunning Shelby GT500CR Carbon from Classic Recreations will headline Forgeline’s booth at the 2026 PRI Show, December 10–12 at the Indiana Convention Center.

The world's only officially licensed carbon-fiber Shelby GT500, the GT500CR Carbon combines one of the most iconic muscle car designs ever created with modern engineering, advanced materials, and supercar-level performance. Every body panel is hand-crafted from aerospace-grade carbon fiber, while power comes from a Ford Performance Gen IV Coyote 5.0L V8 backed by either a six-speed manual or ten-speed automatic transmission.

It's only fitting that a vehicle built around carbon fiber would also utilize Forgeline's proprietary Carbon+Forged technology, which is why the GT500CR Carbon can also be equipped with Forgeline Grudge-Carbon wheels. The Stage 3 example appearing in the Forgeline booth features Brembo forged carbon ceramic brakes and Forgeline Grudge-Carbon wheels, representing the ultimate expression of the GT500CR Carbon platform.

Along with the GT500CR Carbon, Forgeline will unveil several exciting new wheel designs making their public debut at PRI. Planned introductions include two new carbon fiber skinny wheel applications in 18x5 and 18x8 sizes, a new forged monoblock NW104 Beadlock wheel, and an all-new three-piece motorsport wheel derived from the championship-winning GA3R platform.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore Forgeline's growing collection of competition-proven motorsport wheels, including the one-piece forged monoblock SS1R-GT wheel that helped Chevrolet’s Corvette GT3.R earn three championship titles in 2026: FIA WEC LMGT3, European Le Mans Series LMGT3, and IMSA GTD PRO.

Attendees of the 2026 PRI Show can find the Forgeline exhibit at booth #545 in the Green Hall, where the Forgeline team will be available to discuss wheel technology, custom applications, new product development, and Forgeline's continuing commitment to manufacturing forged wheels in Dayton, Ohio.

We look forward to seeing you in Indianapolis!
