Project6gr Five spoke r spec rims gt350 - issue

[angels2k]

Ive had them for about a month and a steering wheel wobble/vibration started immediately after installation. Thought it needed re balancing. Done it three times. Thought it was tires, swapped them out with new ones. Do not think its breaks/rotors, wobble/vibration started immediately after replacing the rims. Checked the PSI, no issues. Checked for any metal clips stuck on the studs, nothing. Properly torqued.

Running 19x11 in front and 19x11.5 rear.
Vibration/wobble happens between 30-65mph. Goes away after.

Anyone ever experience this? How did you take care of the problem? Might just have a bad wheel?
Already did the break clean up about 3k ago to take care of all the dust/break noise. It just comes back. Currently at 12.5k miles.

Any help is appreciated!

I had no issues with them but it is obviously the wheels... take them to a specialized place where they can check for rotation... I would just ditch them.

Absolutely not. I've had my 19x10 and 19x11 5-spoke Project6GR wheels on my GT Premium for a year and a half and absolutely love them.

Are you getting even tire wear? Do either of the front wheels have any play in the steering or wheel bearings? Are the wheels balanced properly?

If you still have your original rims, try swapping back to them one axle at a time - that'll narrow it down to front or rear at least.

there is a chance one wheel might be out of round

Swap on the oem wheels to be sure it’s not the car. If the problem goes away with the oem wheel then it’s time to trouble shoot the other setup.

if you want dm me and I will walk you through what to do

 

[angels2k]

thanks everyone. I do not have my originals anymore. Kicking myself for selling them right away.

Ill say it The project 6GR rims should not be on a GT350. Barrel clearance is crap and they rims are not that great. Sell them to a GT owner and buy fro a reputable vendor. Sorry Project 6GR but you guys put shitty rims n my car so I have nothing good to say about you

Im actually thinking about this. Might go signature or the r rims. Im talking to project 6gr right now. Let's see what happens. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of problems did you have with your set?

The clearance between the caliper and rim barrel is maybe 2.5 mm. Rocks get stuck in between and whatever else your rims suck in will get stuck and scratch and / or scar the rim and caliper and piss you off every time you see it. I sold my rims for way cheap just to get them out of my garage. Even the person that pushes the rims was told by many people, DO NOT promote these rims for the GT350 it’s bad for youR business , but that person doesn’t care about that.

I have my rim of preference but I’m not here to promote anyone, you can DM me about that offline

...err... and so is with the stock rims, AND with the carbon fiber rims on the GT350R...

Interesting, so what would you recommend as a comparison and why?

What you're highlighting is generally true for any rim that does not provide enough clearance with the hub, rotor and caliper combination by which one would want to mount the rim to. Putting the opinion of quality aside (because I think we disagree) - what makes Project6GR wheels so much worse than any other rim that isn't correct for the vehicle, and what do you mean by "shitty"?

DON’T BUY Project6GR WHEELS!!!

I have had a similar problem with my Project6GR wheels on my ‘18 GT350R. The CR wheels were taken off at 200 miles and stored. The Project6GR “R spec” wheels have less than 2k miles and when I took the car over 80 mph for the 1st time I got a bad wobble. Had the wheels checked and all of them are slightly bent and rears are showing rub marks. Project6GR will not warranty them so I’m going to try and see if they can be straightened and give to a friend or drop the off at Project6GR in Burbank with ”junk for free” sign on them.

Now I’m researching for a better option with the same look as the original CF wheels or just buy a 2nd set of CF wheels for the street.

@VibeMotorsports for the best replica R wheels on the market.

 

[lightrules]

The P6GR wheels never really interested me for some reason. Yes the VIBE replica wheels are the best in the sense that you can run the OEM R lugs, have good caliper clearance, and are forged. But they also cost a pretty penny.

I've been super happy with my replica SVE R350's and MRR M600's. Price-wise, absolutely unbeatable...

@lightrules
Yeah, but you bought 2 sets of wheels.
