Customer Spotlight: Gabriel’s ULTIMATE 2020 Ultima RS x BC Forged KL11

When I saw the new Ultima RS kit come out, the inner child in me went wild. A kit car of epic proportions. Building a kit car for myself is certainly a dream. GT40’s, Factory Five Cobra’s and Daytona’s all pique my interest. However, the Ultima RS has captivated my primordial need for a build it yourself ULITMATE racer car. A real hypercar competitor that you can assemble yourself at home and power with various amazing American small block motors. Gabriel’s car is essentially what I would want to build for myself, the 1000HP Built LT5 crate engine included! The no compromise, ultimate bang for your buck scenario is WAY too good to deny. Not many new cars really blow me away these days. This Ultima for me is just on another level. Needless to say when we had the chance to do a set of BC Forged KL11’s on Gabriel’s, we were beyond thrilled. BC Forged really matches the build of this car nicely. Awesome performance, true light-weight forged, and awesome quality without killing your entire wallet.

Without further delay – onto the details!

Customer Spotlight: Greg’s Rocket Bunny Datsun 260z x Rotiform LHR 3 piece

I’ve always considered the Datsun 240z and 260z to be some of the best looking cars ever made. One of the most rad and perfect JDM classics that have been built thousands of different ways by enthusiasts over the globe. Still, each one has its own spin and personality. Seeing a rad car go through a SERIOUS build on social media from a far in such great detail has been such a different and unique experience for me. Especially since it’s a car that I have a deep appreciation and passion for, let alone one I had the pleasure of assisting with the wheel options for. Seeing Greg’s dream Z unfold on Instagram and YouTube has really solidified my need for a widebody Datsun Z car. This 260z – built to the nines, features a unique set of Rotiform LHR’s, really setting this build off. Captivating my deepest desires to search craigslist and marketplace for a Z car I can build myself. Meeting and talking to Greg through this process has been such a great experience. Being involved with cool people building cool cars is the lifeblood of Wheel Lab.

We live for this! Without further delay – onto the details!

Customer Spotlight: Robbie’s C7 Z06 Z07 x BC Forged HCA384s

The C7 Corvette is a car we hold near and dear. Especially since we own one as well. When we met Robbie it was over social media out of sheer chance. A few conversations and a bond was born. A bond created not just because the car is camo and Robbie is a cool dude, but also over our love for lack of compromise when it comes to the C7 Corvette. We both love to set these cars up for ourselves in full “track mode”. Robbie’s C7 Z06 Z07 package with CCB brakes is no exception.

This set up here is unique in specs as we pushed the limits of the offset on the factory body by using the GM recommended FULL track alignment settings. Which leaves a LOT of wheel gap with the added camber. To get these wheels flush it took a keen eye and some seat time to make sure the car would have no rubbing or interference while remaining PERFECTLY flush. Robbie wanted to keep from a driving dynamic perspective the 19/20 wheel sizing while making these flush and functional. What we built was a concave masterpiece of forged aluminum from some on point calculations of the car versus alignment specs.

Now onto the details!
