I'd love to hear any suggestions or perhaps someone can point me in the right direction on where to look.

I'm thinking of sticking to the 19's 295 front, 305 back but open to ideas.

I know I could go custom but I can't drop 10k. Thanks for the help in advance.

Before everyone jumps in and starts posting wheel photos, what are you looking for in particular other than it being a 19"? Do you have a particular style of wheel you're going for?

Do you prefer 1-piece or 3-piece wheels? Any colors that you want to incorporate that you require for your wheels?

Interested to see what styles you're looking for so everyone can better show you examples :)

Let's start with size. I said I'd like to stick to a 19" however I'm open to hearing suggestions from GT350 owners and what they've been discovering in regards to fit and handling.

In regards to 1 or 3 piece wheels, I'm looking for balance of cost effectiveness and performance/build.

In regards to style, here are some random pulls that I liked but either didn't fit or were crazy expensive. My car is Ruby Red so I was thinking either a satin bronze color or gun metal. I'd love to see what others have done too. Thanks for the help!

Based on what you're looking for, based on the price point that you're trying to stay within, I probably won't have anything that would match up perfectly for you. All of our FlowForm wheels, which are at a lesser price point to our Forged wheels, are only offered in 20", so that sort of knocks us out of the running unless you're going to consider that as an option.

Not just that but since you're on a specific budget, that would knock all our Forged wheels off the list too, so I'm sorry bud, but doesn't look like I can do much here. I wouldn't say we have a niche market, but we're on the very high end of quality manufacturing, so needless to say our end product, though made brilliantly, costs more to produce. At least you've got a good start with knowing what kind of designs look good in your eye. I'm sure you'll find something soon. Best of luck :cheers:

I appreciate your time. I'm definitely open to a 20" wheel. I'd love to see what options are available on that end. Thanks again. :)

If you are going to consider a 20" set, I would say the FF04's are going to be a killer choice. If you think this is something you may want to look into I can give you more details and info if you want to send me a private message or email ([email protected]).

Here's a set of FF04's in Liquid Metal which is one of our standard finishes (the second standard finish is Tarmac, aka Satin Black):

If I may step in as a GT350 owner myself I have done both 19" and 20" applications

forged 1piece and 2 piece and the like.

19" is the way to go in my opinion as it keeps the car how it is meant to be, performance in mind.

Now you have a few routes you can go. Flow form, rotory forged or Fully forged.

Im going to provide a list of options you can utilize in 19" broken down by construction for you.

I myself have done more GT350 fitments then anyone else on this forum combined.


Rotory forged / Spun forged

HRE FF15 Flow Form Wheels 19x11 ET 50 utilizes a 25 mm spacer upfront For proper fitment. Currently on sale as well
MRR M600
P51 101RF Wheels
Forgestar Wheels 19x11 staggered offset or 19x10.5/11 combo


Fully Forged options

BC Forged (most cost effective forged monoblock option on the market) Most popular forged wheel option we offer

HRE Wheels The best in the wheel business since 1978

Forgeline Wheels Trusted name in the racing industry ! Popular choice for clients

Vossen Forged wheels Custom made in the USA

ADV1 Wheels Amazing and sexy

Brixton forged great looking wheels as well.

Ill keep it at this list for now.

If you go 20" then you have another great selection of options that can work. But Ill wait on that until we find out which route you really want to go.

Luis there are a lot of great options out there. The beauty of your Shelby is that it can accommodate such a wide wheel and tire package with the fenders being wider than the standard GT. Your tire sizing looks good but you could go as wide as a 345 in the rear with no fitment issues. My Need4Speed Motorsports team has done it several times.

A little more info on what exactly you're looking for would be nice otherwise it's really gonna open the floodgates but myself or anyone at N4SM would be happy to help you make a decision. Something aggressive and lightweight is what I'm leaning toward with the raw performance of the GT350 but everyone has their own flavor

:cheers:

Thanks for chiming in man. Much appreciated. I'm not sure if I want to go wider unless it's NOT going to noticeably affect the way it currently. I apologize for not being more specific. I joined this forum to gain a little more knowledge and hopefully connect with those who can give me a little guidance.

Having said all that, I would be open to going a little wider if it didn't affect performance all too much. I think it would look pretty kick ass with the right wheel. Lightweight would be nice of course but like I said earlier, I just can't drop 8-10k on customs. :)

You dont need to drop 8-10 k

With how modern wheel companies are you can get wider light performance oriented wheels for under $3300 !!

Actually..... If anything above 8-10K is your limit, there are a handful of our Forged wheels that you can dive into. RC1 series and Classic series in 19" will be under the $8k mark, and even with some room in there to add optional extras and specialty finishes if you'd like. I personally use Classic 300's on my Mustang, so who knows, maybe there's something you'll find that'll work.

From a forged standpoint, that was the price range I was seeing. It was just way too much for me to drop on a new set of wheels. Honestly, I think forged won't be an option for me because of cost. I know, I know...such a beautiful car deserves the nicest shoes. I just can't do it sadly.
