Project 6GR Wheels S550 Mustang, Shelby GT350, GT500

You guys are correct the 99 to 04 cobra had IRS, i meant the shelby platform to be more accurate.

Hi all,
To those still on the fence... I changed the lug nuts once more. This time I went with chrome and slightly larger.

I switched to 13/16 lugs and can use both a standard Craftsmen 13/16 socket as well as a Craftsmen 21mm and both fit the R-Spec wheels perfectly. I prefer the chrome look to be honest.

I ordered and used these lugs:
Front wheels: McGard 64023 Chrome (M14 x 1.5 Thread Size) 1.95" long
Rear wheels: Gorilla 61147 Acorn Bulge (M14 x 1.5 Thread Size) 1.4" long



Please excuse the brake dust!






p.s. Wave Hi to the Michelin Man!

Got you guys covered - it's not the first mustang and it's not the first Shelby to have IRS, either. The Green Hornet is frequently forgotten but probably one of the rarest Shelbys ever:

Doing a burnout when traffic was coming the other way at the beginning could have easily turned into a crash copulation video.

Reminds me of the burn out videos leaving a car show.

Oh damn ididnt even realize about the green hornet.


In the end everything is a learning lesson. I guess the nest thing is if thereis ever a moment you stop learning its the moment you stop living as well.

I appreciate the concern.

More important from the above video is now we all know what Paul looks like - and thus how to dress for Halloween this year.

Damn epic, lol!

Hey Paul, random thought but do you think NFS could crank out a spare tire solution for the 350 that would actually fit in the trunk ? I bet u would have a lot of takers on that. I would buy 1 for sure.

I would buy one.

Hey Paul, just checking in to see if the wheel finish issue has been resolved and if so when I might see a tracking number.

What's wrong with the finish? Im too lazy to look for it on this thread.

We are actually working on something right now, but it does require more engineering for something like that so its taking some time.

It didnt meet my standards for my clients so im having them fix a small blem on the wheel, nothing big but imma bit nutty.

Paul is there an closed lug that works with the wheels? The factory lugs seem to only grip the outer lip.
