The Forgeline IR3C Heritage Series Wheel is a tribute to the legendary third-generation Camaro Z28 wheel, embodying the bold, retro spirit of the 1980s while offering the latest in modern wheel technology. Debuted at the SEMA show on the Roadster Shop’s third-gen Camaro chassis, the IR3C combines classic muscle-car five-spoke design with Forgeline’s high-quality and cutting-edge engineering, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking to blend vintage aesthetics with contemporary performance. This wheel not only channels the unmistakable look of the iconic ’80s muscle car but does so with a level of craftsmanship and precision that stands up to today’s high-performance demands.
The heart of the IR3C is its three-piece forged construction, featuring 6061-T6 aluminum centers known for their exceptional strength and lightweight properties. Forged construction allows for a lighter and more durable wheel, which is crucial for high-performance driving. The heat-treated rim sections further enhance the wheel’s strength and reliability, ensuring that it can handle the stresses of both everyday use and intense track days. With aircraft-quality ARP stainless steel hidden fasteners, the IR3C is built to offer long-lasting performance while maintaining a sleek, polished appearance.
A key element of the IR3C’s design is its five-spoke layout, which evokes the aggressive and timeless look of the original Z28 Camaro wheel we all remember from the 1982-’92 high-performance Camaros. The spokes feature a concave dimensional design that adds depth and visual drama, giving the wheel a muscular stance that’s perfect for classic muscle car builds or modern restorations. The stepped-lip outer rim is another nod to retro styling, providing both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. With customizable fitment and finish options, owners can tailor the wheel to their vehicle’s exact specifications, ensuring the perfect balance of form and function.
The IR3C is available in 18-inch, 19-inch, and 20-inch sizes, making it versatile enough to fit a variety of performance vehicles. The wheel comes standard with a powder-coated and HTM (High Tech Machined) center finish, and a polished outer rim, which not only enhances the overall look but also offers durability against the elements. Additionally, each wheel features a standard aluminum center cap, which complements the wheel’s high-end appearance.
The Forgeline IR3C wheel is not just a nostalgic nod to F-body history. It’s a high-performance upgrade that offers legendary Forgeline quality and exceptional customer service. Whether you’re restoring a classic muscle car or building a modern machine with retro flair, the IR3C delivers a unique combination of style, strength, and performance that stands the test of time.
