Up for grabs still are this Brushed Triple Black Tinted SV703 built in a 20” GT350R fitment. If anyone finds themselves in need send me a DM so I can connect you with the owner.

Track Series SV502 – 18x11 Square – Matte Bronze

Dane G is wasting no time putting his Track Series SV502 to work on the auto cross circuit. I will let the pictures do the talking. We build the Track Series for abuse, and enjoy seeing them used to their full potential.

SV104 – Chris G

I consistently find myself falling in love with the S550 owned by @chrisgonzalez . The livery, the stance, and the fact the car gets used hard just seems to impress me.

Being a car guy in general I wanted to share some of our other recent exploits in wheel land. These are a few vehicles that really caught my eye recently.

Track Series SV503 Have Arrived!
I am not sure if track wheels are allowed to look this good. Many of the track dedicated or specific wheels on the market have left something to be desired in my opinion, but holy cow do these impress. Hoping to grab some weights tomorrow before the tires get mounted.

I don't track my Mustang. Do you have a street version of this wheel? It looks great!

Track Series SV503 – GT350R Spec – Gloss Gunmetal

Since the release of our new Track Series SV503 I have anticipated seeing how they would look on a car. So much so that I ordered the first set ever made for my own car. These images definitely verify my thoughts of an amazing design that is functional and looks good. Cant wait to see a few FP350S’ running around on these

Precision Series SV702 – GT350R Spec – Matte Black

Long been a fan of our Precision Series SV702, but have not seen them mounted up on a GT350 yet. I couldn’t let that stand, so here are you first images of the SV702 on a GT350R. These are now looking for a good home at a GREAT price.

Precision Series SV701 Foxbody – 18x8 / 18x10 – Brushed Triple Black Tinted

First off, let me just say HOLY SH**! This is the first ever Foxbody we have built wheels for at Signature Wheel. I was fortunate to come across Alex through some mutual friends in Ohio. When we started talking wheels for the Fox I knew it had to be different, and it had to be good. All I can say is that the end result far exceeded my expectations, and I can not wait to bring you all more

Ronnie,

The track series designation is mostly to do with the engineering emphasis that is put into the wheel during the design phase. Strength, stiffness, weight reduction, and limited colors that are easy to repair if dinged up on track. The Track Series lineup will be just as home on the street, and would be happy to build them for you. Send me a PM if you want to know a little more.

Very happy to introduce the first of what I hope are many more Foxbody’s into the family. You will find Alex Markou’s 1989 LX hatchback staying cozy in the garage of his Ohio home. Alex worked two jobs to buy the car brand new, and has owned the car since he was 18 years old. The car was enjoyed and got treated to all the 90’s modifications we all remember. As with all things, life happened and Alex turned his focus to his wife and family.

Fortunate to have worked with Alex and some of his family members. It is always a bit risky when building something for the first time. Takes a lot of trust, and I appreciate it. The fox will likely be back in the garage for the winter, so here is a little rundown on the car.

In the car world I have found that the only thing more interesting than the cars we drive, are the people behind the wheel. Today, I wanted to introduce you to my buddy Mitch Fotes and his 2017 Grabber Blue GT350R, otherwise known as GRAB R.

Mitch is a tried and true octane addict living in the Pacific North West (PNW). He has been racing 2 wheel motorcycles since 1987, and holds an expert license with the Washington Motorcycle Road Racing Association. He is also currently a control rider and instructor for the Track Time Motorcycle Track Days. What Mitch will tell you is that just because you can drag a knee on a motorcycle, doesn’t mean you can power slide a car through an apex. The driving dynamics are totally different, and he has been enjoying learning the R.

GRAB R was purchased in December 2017 with 3500 miles, and now has about 7000 smiles on the ticker. It is 1 of 2 Grabber Blue GT350R’s with the stripe delete, black roof, and electronics package delete produced in 2017. The previous owner of the car was able to order it trough a VIP allocation, so Mitch was able to get a lot of cool history with the car through its build process.

You can find Mitch running GRAB R at the Ridge or other courses in the PNW. But keep an eye on the driver as his wife races the R and motorcycles as well. Make sure to stop and say hello next time you see them passing you before the apex. Here are his modifications to date, and some photos to enjoy.

Ford Performance Racing School FP350S / GT350R - Track Series SV502

Does everyone remember the first time you asked a girl out on a date? All the self-talk and planning that went through your head before you worked up the courage to ask that question? All the angst you felt about what the response would be? You finally say what the hell, take the chance, and the next thing you know it is make out time after prom. In a roundabout way this was the story of how I started my relationship with the Ford Performance Racing School (FPRS). Instead of a hot chick trying to put one ring on it, I was looking to get 4 wheels bolted up to a set of 15.5 inch Brembos. Nevertheless, that is the story of how I came to the good fortune of working FPRS. Took a chance, followed through on a promise, and now living the dream.


It has been a little over a week since the Signature Wheel / FPRS private track day at Thunderhill raceway ended. This was my first time seeing two of the three cars we worked with FPRS on in person. The FP350S and one of two GT350R’s. I am still going over all that happened at the event, and really enjoying seeing some of the photographs people took. I am very proud of the fact we had another safe event, but as the organizer I spent most of time ensuring the event ran smooth. My biggest regret from the event was not being able to spend more time with all the attendees and their vehicles. There was so much to see and take in that I wish we had two full days to enjoy it.


I did not get to take many photos, but the few I did snap were of the cars that FPRS brought out that day. FPRS trailered the cards from Utah to conduct some testing of the FP350S. They will be campaigning that car at the USAF NASA 25hour race at Thunderhill at the end of November. I had high hopes of driving the FP350S, but I knew that was a pipe dream. Both cars are running our Signature Wheel Track Series SV502 and sport some impressive livery from the school. All the graphics were done by Falcon Graphics, who also does the work for all the other owner program cars. Getting close on the FP350S you will notice the stripes/livery are done in a carbon fiber. Pretty slick how they included the metallic red accents too. The level of adjustability on the FP350S is just amazing, and the speed out of the box will take you back to the future. I couldn’t believe how many times the car was up in the air after each session for additional tweaking. Both cars are mostly as ford made them, and here are some pictures to enjoy.

Multipiece SV301S Charger Hellcat– 20x9 / 20x10.5 – Golden Copper Face, Polished Barrel, Black Hardware



It is not everyday you get to take the fat girl to the dance. Even less often are you surprised when she can really get down and boogie. Had the opportunity to build a set of our Multipiece SV301S for my good buddy Jason Ewing. His 2018 Charger Hellcat is a straight monster, and its still slow compared to his single turbo SN95. I had the pleasure of driving it to the photo shoot location and this thing moves at the slightest stab of the throttle. Interior is comfortable and Dodge did a good job with it.


Jason wanted something that would provide him a performance advantage, as well as set the car out amongst the crowd. The OEM wheels from the factory were a 20x9 square setup weighing 32lbs a piece! Switching to what you see here is a heavier construction type, wider in the rear, and still came in at 20lbs less than the OEM wheel. What we have is our first ever Hellcat to join Signature Nation, and I look forward to seeing more of it. Particulars below.
