Signature Wheel’s GT500 Adventures

[50 Deep]

Here is a little taste of what has been happening lately....

@LAPTIMZ GT350/FP350S build on the Signature Wheel SV702 finished in Crystal Burgundy

I'd also be interested in some CF replicas!

Never know what the future holds. I will be talking some shop with the guys at SEMA to see what is on the horizon

Looks like a few people have production dates and VIN’s assigned. We have 5 sets of GT500 wheels on order and cant wait to see them come to life.

Until then we keep toiling away with our GT350/FP350S builds until the GT500’s hit the road.

Good Morning,
Would you be so kind as to please answer a few questions ?
How are the five sets ordered?
Are they square set ups or are they off set? Would you please share if any sizes are known or if your orders are to be determined? When will you be able to actually manufacture? Per previous posts , fitment Measurements were unknown .

Will you have a design to look like the OEM carbon wheel?

Thank you in advance for sharing as this is a topic of considerable interest.

Regards,
George

George,
I'm one set up I did SV703 Brushed Triple Black Tinted, I'm 20x11 in front and 20x11.5 in the back that is still a little tentative as they are finishing the fit. They did say if they could do a square set up of 20x11.5 that would be their preference. Have to let 50 Deep chime in with what they know as of today.

Jeff ,
Thank you for sharing. I look forward to seeing the wheels on your car. PLease let us know when you can update fitment?
Regards,
George

G,

Your reply got mixed up in the quote somehow. I will attempt to shed some light.

We just got the OEM Carbon Fiber Track Package Wheel offsets confirmed, and two sets of wheels have gone into production today. Most folks at the onset are going 20x11 / 20x11.5. I would assume most are undecided on making this a track dedicated car for the strip or road course. From there we will see more use specific setups get ordered.

The remaining 3 sets on order I am going to wait on production. Most build dates I have seen are in October, so with my recent invite to the Track Tour late October I will be able to gather more data to produce the best fitting wheel possible. Experiencing the car first hand through the apex, watching it squat from a launch, seeing the wheel studs, watching the wheels go lock to lock and several other data points will be extremely beneficial.

With the OEM data in hand we can build you a 20x11 square rotatable fitment, 20x11 square, and a 20x11.5 square. Whatever you need, we can craft.

It will be interesting to see what they weight when finished.

Will be interesting to see how a 20x11.5 goes vs the factory staggered.

That could be an attractive option for tracking. I was running 18x11 square on my S197. How would it affect the street manners?

Good thing here is I have already built a number of 20x11 / 20x11.5 setups for the GT350/R which share similar offsets. Based on the 20” setups I have built for that platform I expect to see the following:

20x11 / 20x11.5 Track Series: 21-24 lbs depending on offsets
20x11 / 20x11.5 Monoblock 22-25 lbs depending on offsets

In most circumstances i see the tire options making the difference in popular track wheel sizing. The FP350S/GT4 uses an 18x11 square wheel configuration. Based on the cost of consumables I see the 20x11 / 20x11 being the go to for our road course guys. Shouldn’t have any negative effects on the street manners as those using a square wheel setup are probably using a softer tire compound. Even if not going for maximum width, the extra traction from the soft compound will be a definite performance upgrade.

Drag strip enthusiasts I see a 20x8 / 20x12 or 20x8 / 20x11.5

Signature Wheel Royal Series SV801

At last.... The Signature Wheel Royal Series SV801 is here. Considerable testing was done on these wheels in every concave profile to ensure our standards for road and track use were met. A price increase is anticipated due to the extreme amount of CNC work done to this beautiful design. Make a move on yours while the getting is good.
