The offsets and sizes are the same as the non-R factory wheels. They are bit lighter than the stock wheels. I've been using them for my autox/track tires all season and I like them.
I'll bet they don't want to put it on the books in their inventory for a while or something. I swear sometimes it seems like the small dealers are cooking the books to show sales that didn't happen. The carfax for my new 2020 GT350 shows it was sold twice between dealerships before I actually...
Heartland Motorsports Park, Topeka KS
SCCA Track Night in America
This was my 2nd time at the track, chasing a friend's ZL1 1LE Camaro but that thing has a LOT of grunt.
Make/Model/engine/trans/packages: 2020 Shelby GT350
Track/Course: Heartland Motorsports Park - long course with tight chicane...
Probably not, I don't know for certain. I stopped running the GT in '18 so all of those replacements were before then. They weren't completely trashed, I was doing a lot of road trips with that car so I replaced them when they got noisy.
I have no regrets upgrading to the GT350. It feels much...
I went through three sets of wheel bearings on my '15 GT when running RE71's in autocrosses. It'll be interesting to see if the GT350's last much longer.
I'm still working out pressures but at the Topeka Pro last weekend I ran 29F and 26-27R on bumpy asphalt. It gripped really well and transitioned good but I did knock the outer edges of the fronts off quite a bit. This is on a GT350 so wider wheels than FS and I have the factory camber plates...
What is your front and rear toe settings? Might try just a whiff of toe out in front and zero to a hair of toe in for the rear, more to zero rear if you want a bit more balance but definitely a bit of toe out in front to help get that turn-in working. I don't know BFG's but another thing is tire...
Love it in Iconic, although I'm partial. Mine is the 4th silver car I've owned. The earlier ones were just because it was so much easier to keep looking clean than dark color cars. Ford's Iconic (and Ingot) silver is so deep (like Ruby and Kona) that it really accentuates the curves and body...
Does anyone know if the '18+ seatbelt receiver is needed for the passenger side install for the quickbelt? If so, is it the same part number as the drivers side?
It's just the Gurney flap. The whole swing is the same part number but -AA suffix, and it's about a grand.
Might want to call before ordering the Gurney flap to make sure it's in stock. I was told they're on extended back order, same as KENS550TX.
LOL - fair point, here's why. I autox the car in B-Street class so I needed a 2nd set of wheels in the stock size for the "race" tires. The CS-21 wheels are the perfect size, look great, are lighter than the OEM wheels and I think are a pretty good price. I also agree that gloss piano black...
Seems odd they wouldn't have regular thin-wall sockets for aftermarket wheels. Here's what I use:

I have a GT350 with the factory adjustable camber plates. At the "street" setting the camber is -1.2° and the "track" setting it's -2.4°. The toe changes from zero to 1/4" out measuring with Longacre toe plates. To get it back to zero just turn each tie rod 1/2 a turn clockwise (shorten the tie...
It was just like the 2-day course described on the FPRS website: https://www.fordperformanceracingschool.com/2-day-school/
Except we used the full roval for the first day. The hairpin course for the morning of the 2nd day was still fun. It was a little wet on the morning of Day 2 so that may...
Sadly I didn't spring for the video/data on Day 1. I think my best lap on Day 2 was a 2:12 but the top speed was about the same - just a lot cleaner and smoother, and I don't think I was the fastest guy there by any means. I agree that the leader/instructor didn't really hold back too much if...
We definitely went faster on Day 2 but some of that was because we were more comfortable on the track. On Day 1 lead/follow we were pushing pretty good on the in-field sections but on the oval the instructor would keep us to around 110 max, partly to let the people doing the sequence change get...
