The SS1R is the Forgeline wheel of choice for the Pratt Miller Corvette GT3.Rs. In Addition to its center-locking design, the SS1R was engineered specifically for the stresses of GT racing.

In addition, the partnership will showcase content creation, distribution, and community engagement within the digital space, including signage inside the Pratt Miller Motorsports podcast studio. This will be the focus for both organizations to bring the motorsports stories to fans and enthusiasts well beyond race weekends.

Their wheels, which we proudly use on our team cars, are a testament to their commitment to quality and performance. Now, we eagerly anticipate the innovative ventures and unique experiences we will craft together beyond the racetrack. – Brandon Widmer, Pratt Miller VP, Motorsports

In the world of motorsport, every victory on the track is a shared triumph, and we’re excited to be part of this winning formula. – Steve Schardt
