OVER 30 YEARS
HERITAGE. INNOVATION. LEGACY.
David and Steve Schardt founded Forgeline on the principles of craftsmanship, relentless quality, and steadfast integrity.
NEVER "GOOD ENOUGH"
Since day one, we decided to make custom wheels that we believe in. We don't cut corners, we don't compromise on quality, and we don’t settle for less than our absolute best.
REAL RACING DNA
After that day at the track, we found a forging supplier in California (who we still use today) and got to work. The result was the first forged-to-form wheel in the industry, engineered with a forged center, custom offsets, and built-in brake caliper clearance. Not only did it solve the fitment problem, it was also stronger and outperformed every other wheel on the track.
We operate with the same mentality today—build the best custom performance wheels possible, one at a time, right here in the U.S.A.
That's just how we do it.
We have a Midwest mentality in the wheel business… We do what we say and we stand behind our products.
PERFORMANCE ABOVE ALL ELSE
From building cars to running driving schools to racing in pro-am circuits, our team has been deeply ingrained in the car and racing culture well before Forgeline ever existed. Those roots influence how we design wheels today.
TRACK-PROVEN PERFORMANCE
Every engineering and manufacturing decision is made with performance in mind. Since cars are always progressing—they're bigger, heavier, faster, have more aero, bigger brakes, wider and stickier tires—our wheels are constantly improving too.
We work directly with top-tier racing teams to create new custom wheel designs that handle performance demands at the highest levels of motorsport. And we don't stop until they're right.
PUSHING THE INDUSTRY STANDARD
We hold Forgeline accountable to our standards. We are constantly evolving because we truly care about racing, car culture, and delivering you the best custom wheels available.
We take pride in our products and we are determined to be a part of what drives our industry forward.
CHASING "BETTER"
Our partnership with Lacks Enterprises has been all about growing our capability to manufacture the best custom wheels possible. We're growing together, sharing technologies, processes, and knowledge to take Forgeline performance to the next level.
