I've been through the same process for the last month, looking at all the wheel manufactures that would have anything in a 19x11 (+52 to +56) offset then using 25mm front H&R spacer run a true square setup. Lot's of research and calls.

Criteria:
Weight (as close to OEM carbon's) Every .5 lb of unsprung weight makes a difference.
Strength (ability to hold up to track abuse)
Brake clearance (GT350 Front Caliper top to barrel clearance)
Appearance
Price (reasonable)

In the end I ended up choosing Signature SV502 19x11 as they had great caliper clearance, strength and weight was 20.4 lbs. Plus the option to add knurling.

Always ask what is the actual weight and GT350 brake clearance.

Next I purchased the ZL1 addons titanium lugs to help reduce the weight.

Check the weight of tires your looking at as they can vary significantly.

All the wheel/tire guys that advertise here are very knowledgeable and a tremendous resource. Give them a shout.

Hope this helps.

Wait - there are going to be TWO sets of SV502s in the PNW? Ballin!

OP - unsure how you can like GA1Rs but not the SV502s. They're quite similar...

I'm about to get a square set of 19x11+50 wheels from Vibe Motorsports. Weights are looking to be around 21lbs if not less. Fully Forged and they look similar to the OEM R's. Caliper clearance from the test fitment was amazing and they'll fit OEM lug nuts.

Love that some of our customers are here to talk about their experiences and share some photos [MENTION=23430]honeybadger[/MENTION] and [MENTION=33042]HR213[/MENTION]
[MENTION=26767]censport[/MENTION] I would love to chat with you about wheels and options if you choose to. If anything I will give you some good info based on wheels I’ve personally used. Including information from other customers. I’ve learned a lot more about wheels on the market in the last few months that I’ve been in this capacity. Lots of good choices on the market and even if you don’t join the Signature family, maybe some of the info I give will get you in the right direction.

I went with BC Forged from PK. Square set up, MP4S, TPMS, mounted/ balanced, ceramic coated, lugs, and spacers shipped for under $5k.

I use my CF wheels for the track with Camber / Caster plates and FP race alignment. Wanted a square set up for the street so I can rotate (due to the aggressive race alignment).
Really happy with the service and the product. Would recommend!

When choosing tires there weight should also be considered. Every .5 lbs weight savings of rotating mass makes a difference.

305/30/19 square setup size choice:

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 (26 lbs) (OEM GT350R)
Eagle F1 Supercar 3R (29 lbs)
Toyo Proxes R888R (31 lbs)

Continental ExtremeContact Sport (27 lbs)
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 (28 lbs)
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (29 lbs)
Michelin Pilot Super Sport (30 lbs) (OEM GT350)
Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 (30 lbs)
Honkook Ventus R-S4 (31 lbs)
Pirelli P Zero (30 and 31 lbs) "depending on model"
Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 R (31 lbs)
Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R (31 lbs)
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 (32 lbs)
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A (33 lbs)
Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position (33 lbs)
Kumho Ecsta V720 (33 lbs)

Within this list the two lightest tires are Continental Extreme Contact Sport (27 lbs) and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 (26 lbs)

Note: Weights were gathered from Tire Racks website.

ok guys, i'm going to go with vorsteiner vfn-501's

19x11 square with the same offset on all 4. what offset should i get to have the rear's flush with the fender?

http://vorsteinerwheels.com/wheels/vfn-501/

i'm thinking of doing gloss black but they do make some really nice finishes. my car is white so if i did not do black i would do matte graphite, or possibly brushed with dark tinted clear. thoughts? keep it black to tie in with the mirrors, wing, keep it stock looking, or change up the color?

I go the perfect offsets for you brotha, ill stand by to hear from you.

You can do the gloss black which is a simple but clean color combo.

If you do the brushed dark tint and such it is additional .
