Wow, you did indeed take notes. You listened. And I dig that the way the lugs are on the surface versus having to source a smaller lug due to some sort of cavity. Major kudos to you guys on this one.

Thank you very much but we couldn't have manufacture these beautiful wheels without the help of the forum community and the opinions.
Excited for Sunday, cant wait to take images and share them to everyone.

I honestly didn't think the individual responsible for the design would incorporate much (if any) of the suggestions here, primarily due to cost. The way you guys did it is not only original but entirely tasteful. If I were in the market for a R-style wheel at this point I would be taking what you are preparing to offer very seriously. I can't wait to see the finished product.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much, all the information was gather and taken into consideration and yes we did built a couple of sets before finally the end results where right.
Also we thank you for sharing the graph of the CF Wheels on the first page it helped a lot with the specs.

Test fitment went great! Lots of space between the barrel and caliper on the fronts! Maybe about 10mm? Jake can confirm later I'm sure. He has more pics to post as well.
... and Jake, a HUGE thanks for driving all the way up here! I know it took forever! Great meeting you too!

Worlds First Shelby GT350R- Forged Wheels Mounted!!
Thank you Chris, Jared & Jessie
It was fun and awesome to meet up with Shelby Enthusiasts.
Here is a side by side comparison image of the GT350R CF & GT350/R Forged
We have enough clearance between the Caliper & the Forged Wheels that you can put your hand around the caliper with a breeze.
(Washing & Drying the inner barrel will be a lot easier now LOL :lol
-OEM LUG Nuts Compatible
-OEM Center Caps Compatible
-OEM TPMS Sensors Compatible
-OEM Tires Compatible

Function & Performance at its best!!
19x11+24 & 19x11.5+56
The only difference is how the lug nuts sit.
Weights: Front 24lbs Rear 22Lbs
(the front weights more because of the lower offset )
Track Fitment: 19x11+50 will be about 20-21 Lbs waiting on it to be complete.
The GT350 Non-R will have the same fitment.
19x11+24 & 19x11.5+56

[MENTION=18787]icormba[/MENTION] dude...I'm telling you, that color looks great on your car. I like it better than black on DIB.

Was going to say the same thing - on that blue...nice.
I was a little skeptical at first - since there are already a couple spec wheels out there - but these look really nice. I like what you did on the lugs.
Edit: Did I miss final weights? Yes, I did. thanks
