Forgeline Motorsports Celebrates 25 Years In 2019

Forgeline Motorsports celebrates its 25 year anniversary in 2019. A 100-percent family-owned and managed business, the custom wheel manufacturer is located in Dayton, Ohio, and operated by twin brothers Dave and Steve Schardt.
Forgeline Global Sales Manager Steve Schardt founded Forgeline in 1994 “to address a need within the American road racing market for a custom made-to-order forged wheel that was engineered for racing applications and made in the USA.” Today, Forgeline continues to serve members of the highest levels of road racing, and its reach has also grown to include high-end street applications, too.
As young adults in the 1990s and after recognizing that serious American road racers needed a domestically-produced high-quality wheel option, the Schardt family teamed up to launch Forgeline whose initial product line consisted of a single two-piece forged wheel called the RS.
Despite its humble beginnings, the RS wheel proved extremely successful, according to a company release. In 1995, it helped RealTime Racing's PD Cunningham win a World Challenge class championship and later became the wheel of choice for at least half of the former Pirelli World Challenge field.
Today, Forgeline manufactures over 120 wheel models for both the race track and the street, including three-piece modular wheels, one-piece forged mono blocks and a “Carbon + Forged” hybrid lineup.
