The GT350/R Aftermarket Wheel Thread

Noob question -

Given the stock wheels are presumably much lighter than these: https://project6gr.com/product/project-6gr-seven-satin-black-finish/

Other than the additional rotating mass and negative impact of that to acceleration etc - are there any issues (magneride etc) that need to be accounted for?

Some members have spoke about brake caliper clearance as well.

Check out the P51 wheels their actually 4 lbs lighter a wheel so closer to the R carbon weight and better caliper clearance.

11" wide and 305s all around? What offset are they? I like how your tires fit compared to the stock tires which in my opinion, look stretched. Nice work. :cheers:

This is how these cars should look from the factory. Perfect sizing and fitment.

I don't know if it's the design, color, or both. This set up unfortunately looks very underwhelming.

It's that wheel design, I believe it's a Ford GT replica. I really wanted to like those wheels when they came out as they have good sizes for this car.

Real shame too as the price point ($260/wheel) for these wheels makes them otherwise very intriguing.

[MENTION=11290]xXANCHORMONXx[/MENTION] [MENTION=28021]GTthree50[/MENTION], they will be releasing another replica wheel at or close to this price point that A LOT of people will like and quite a few already have....

I finally got my wheels installed. I wanted an everyday alternative to my CF wheels due to having an issue with small pebbels getting caught between the Caliper and barrel of the wheel. I was going to go with a square 305 setup, then changed my mind. I went with R spec P51s and swapped over the cups onto the P51s for now. I wanted to go with PSS or MPS4s but I didn't want to go to a 325 on the rear. Hopefully in a year or so there will be a 315/30 19 other than the cup available. Thanks to Paul at PK Auto, he was a great help guiding me through my decisions on wheel choice. the P51s are very light and for the money I think work well. The caliper/barrel clearance is very tight, but seems fine. Anyway, here are some pics.
