Wheels Of Fortune: Signature Wheels Official Wheels Thread

Happy New Wheels!

Let’s start the year off right and stop buying poorly made wheels. Below are photos of the front calipers on my buddies GT350. He was running a “cheaper” replica wheel at the track with his sport cup 2 tires. Due to the lack of caliper clearance debris from the tire would get caught between the caliper and barrel. I’ve personally had an issue with a rock gouging the inside of my wheel barrel and caliper on the same set of wheels.




We spend a lot of money on the cost of our cars and performance modifications. Nothing worse than the feeling of spending your hard earned money on a modification that makes your car less capable and possibly dangerous. Don’t go cheap on the only things connecting your car to the road. Do it once, do it right, do it Signature Wheel.

Here are a couple photos of the first completed Signature Wheel SV502. Enjoy and let me know what you think compared to the SV501. I am of the impression that I wouldn't kick either of them out of bed in the morning.

Hope the new year is treating you all well. I wanted to provide a couple of updates, and give congratulations to those recently joining the Signature Owners Circle.

Full Sized Spare Available

This is an option that was actually created due to the wants of the GT350 crowd here on 6G. Whenever you purchase a set of Signature Wheels you have the option of having us build a full size matching spare for your vehicle. For $725 it can be built in the same design and finish as your original wheel, and is fully customizable as to the sizing/offset you want. The spare can be built in diameters as small as a 17’ depending on the wheel profile, and as narrow as 8” wide.

jaRS

I got in contact with member [MENTION=32973]jaRS[/MENTION] through the forums. He has an Avalanche Gray GT350R that is currently in for some detail work. After speaking with him about wheel options it became clear that his main concern was having a wheel that was strong enough to handle repeated track use without failure or fatiguing. After seeing that all of our forged wheels are JWL and VIA certified he decided that the SV502 was the right wheel for him. jaRS is also the first member to take advantage of our custom full sized spare option. Definitely looking forward to seeing his R when it is all complete.




Merkyworks

Happy to announce our FIRST GT500 customer coming into the Signature Owners Circle. I had the pleasure of meeting this Merkyworks through the mustang forums. He had done a lot of research on the type of fitment he wanted for his vehicle, and basically knew the offsets/sizing that he desired. I really enjoy working with customers that have a vision in their mind, and just need us to bring it to life. We are currently building the very first set of SV103 to be placed on his platform, and look forward to working with more GT500 customers in the future.




Lug Nuts

As many of you know I am a mustang enthusiast first, and not just a wheel salesman. If I can find good deals or info to pass along to the community I always will. While browsing through the most recent Ford Performance catalog I came across a nice find. Ford Performance is now offering a black open ended short lug nut for the S550 platform. Not only is the price right, but it is a great solution for those R owners buying a set of Signature Wheels and need an open ended lug nut for the extended front studs. This will also serve well for any GT350 / S550 owners planning to run extended studs from ARP.



Soon I should be able to offer a newly designed titanium option. Stay tuned, and contact me if you have any questions about a set of wheels for any of your car or SUV.

Do it once. Do it right. Do it Signature Wheels.

HawaiiKid

Its a gloomy gray morning today in Calilfornia. Rather fitting for the next Avalanche Gray GT350 I am about to share with you. I received a PM from [MENTION=32619]HawaiiKid[/MENTION] a couple days ago regarding a set of Signature Wheels. Hawaiikid had been a previous customer of Forgestar, due to the price point of the wheels. However, he was disappointed in the longevity of the finishes, and knew the wheels weren't fully forged. After owning the GT350 he knew the car was special, planned to keep it for a while, and wanted to invest in a quality set of wheels that would last through all situations. We spoke on the phone regarding his plans, and decided that the SV107 was the right wheel for him. This will be the FIRST GT350 to showcase this wheel profile, and I am very excited to see the results. It will be a long 5 weeks, but until then here are a few pictures of his car and a rendering of the wheels. Pleasure to meet you Billy!

Jerry

I wanted to introduce you all to latest member of the Signature Owners Circle. Jerry was referred to me by another GT350 owner that was very happy with the SV501’s he recently received. Jerry has a shadow black 350R that he plans to use as a weekend toy. With the possibility of the car appreciating in value he wants to keep the OEM carbon fiber wheels and SC2 tires tucked away safely. I showed him some concept photos of our soon to be released SV701 and he knew that was the right wheel for him. Happy to have him as part of Signature Nation, and I look forward to revealing the new wheel profile soon.






I will also have a set of SV501 in GT350R specs available for purchase in 2-3 weeks. PM me for details.

[MENTION=32585]docsean1[/MENTION]

Congratulations to [MENTION=32585]docsean1[/MENTION] for snapping up the GT350R sped SV501 that came available. These will be going on his GT350. The doctor is also part of my DCTMS RS550 carbon fiber steering wheel group buy. Glad I could get him setup with a set of our lightweight track wheels, and interested in seeing the custom powder coating he has planned. Thanks again brother, and I look forward to seeing the rest of the cars in the stable :cheers:

Hell of a week here at Signature Wheel. Still tingling with the news about the GT500 that is coming. Here is some more buzz for you.

Renzoromero

Lorenzo is joining the Signature Owners Circle after a few months of contact on Instagram. Lorenzo has a clean Mystic SN-95 Cobra, and will be the first of its kind for Signature Wheel. Excited about this project as we will also be debuting a set of the soon to be released SV701. After speaking for a while it became clear that he wanted a different look for his car, and this wheel fit the need. Congratulations again!





S550GTCS

Next up for introductions is [MENTION=28952]S550GTCS[/MENTION]. One of the cool things about the wheel rep process is that I am here to meet your needs. Often times I get PM’s from people I have never seen or met before. Sometimes it ends with one PM after a quote on pricing. On this occasion I was able to provide S550GTCS with a set of SV502 for his ride. Not until we spoke a little further did I realize this was a pretty serious track car. Once I saw the photos it really hit me that this was a sick S550. This will be the first S550 GT on the SV502 and I am excited. This member is rather local to me as well so I look forward to taking some photos of this car myself. Congrats!

First glimpse of the Signature Wheel SV501 mounted on a GT350. Vehicle belongs to my friend/customer Clint. He owns a speed shop called The Snake Pit in Ohio, and can be found on Instagram @the_snake_pit . Specs are below.

Well guys I have some updates to share with you. Noticing that from the customer service standpoint providing regular updates goes a long way. Lets begin.

UPS Shipping Rate Increase Starting 2/1/18
We have been notified by UPS that some of the worldwide shipping rates will be increasing starting in February. This will result in an increase in our pricing at the same time to offset it. If you have a desire to get into a set of the wheels before any increase in price lets get it handled before the end of the month. We only ask for half to start the build process, and if that is paid before any price increase you are good to go.

SV501 / SV502 Track Series Wheel Options
-Complimentary anti-slip knurling is being offered on this wheel until 2/1/18. After that date it will be a $400 option. All of you track rats should jump on this ASAP!

-We have added additional color options for the Track Series Wheels. Initially this lineup was only available in matte black. Now it can be ordered in gloss/matte black, gunmetal, and bronze.

Signature Wheel Precision Series SV701
We have been working hard to get our new Precision Series of wheel developed. The first in the series is the SV701, and this is a studio shot of the first produced wheel in Rose Gold. It is an absolutely gorgeous profile that will compliment almost any vehicle. Luxurious, muscular, intricate, and still strong enough to handle track use.

Due to the added CNC time for the wheel, pricing for this profile will fall between our monoblock and 2-piece options. I have the opportunity to move the first sets ordered before February at a lower introductory price. Moral of the story is lets start 2018 off with a bang, and get things moving before prices go up in February

These wheels all look awesome, seriously excellent designs. I especially love the SV701, real nice! I would totally get some, but the price point is hard to swallow. I'm sure the quality is awesome, but I've been shopping for a square track setup and honestly for the price I'd have a hard time justifying them on the track. Really solid designs though!

I have spoken with a few guys now that used wheels on the track that were not fully forged. They ended up dealing with caliper clearance issues, a wheel failure, or a setup that didn't look as good as it should. They ended up buying wheels a second time, and wished they had just spent a little more to start. Luckily for you the wheels we build are designed with motorsport capability and enhanced looks. Everything we do is good for the track on Sunday, and work on Monday.

2018 is off to a great start. The year is already moving along quickly. We have some new customers, previous customers, and wheels to introduce. Lets get to it.

LDP82
One of the interesting things about the posts on the forums is you never truly know who sees them. [MENTION=30956]ldp82[/MENTION] contacted me via PM regarding wheels for his 16 Tech Pack. His chief concern was a lightweight wheel for the vehicle. Even though he shares his name with a famous actor, ldp82 is a low key gentleman and his car is stored away for these cold months. I look forward to getting his car in the limelight with the new wheels. As many of you know my first GT350 was a tech package, so that vehicle has a soft spot in my heart. Very much looking forward to providing a set of SV501 for his ride

5LVenom
Jason is one of my good local buddies. He has been around the block with HRE’s, CCW’s, True Forged Wheels, and various others. He has a BUILT 1995 turbo cobra with a mod list that is far too long. After seeing the SV108 on my car he decided to make the switch and buy a mean street setup for his car. The vehicle makes over 800hp to the tire so anti-slip bead knurling was a must. The curves of the SN95 will look great with the design on the new wheels. I will personally be getting with him to take better photos of his car.



TYGT350
I believe [MENTION=16123]TYGT350[/MENTION] is the first S550 we have ever had on a set of our Signature Wheels. His car is totally underrated. The fitment and stance on his car really tipped the scales for a few customers who were unsure about ordering the wheels. With that said, I had to show some photos that he recently sent me to edit. Here are the SV104 on his ride. I am very appreciative of him being part of Signature Nation, and an ambassador for us in the S550 crowd. You can also find him as @5150_5.0 on Instagram.







First Production SV701
Last but not least are a few photos of the first set of the SV701 Precision Series in Rose Gold. The longer you stare at it, the more intricacies you will see. Definitely contact me to get in on the introductory pricing before January ends. We have some GT350R and SN95 sets in production now.







Just for Fun
Also had a few renderings done for some of my potential customers of the wheels on their cars. The Mach 1 photos were edited by the owner of the car, as well as the black SN95 cobra. Unfortunately many of the Foxbody, SN95, New Edge, and S197 guys don’t realize we can cut wheels to fit any platform. Check these out and let me know what you think.

Wow that rose gold color looks bad ass. When are you all getting a set of those mounted?

Our GT350R and SN95 sets are in production now. They should be completed in about 5 weeks. We ship direct to the customer, so we hope they are mounted March. I cant wait to see them on a vehicle. Our introductory pricing on the wheel will be ending in February, so do not be afraid to be first. This wheel is going to be a instant classic.

Sunday funday boys! I can honestly say that I am starting to get excited about the coming months ahead. As customers start reciving their wheels it is becoming clear that this will be a hot summer. Take a peek….

Craig V
Had the pleasure of working with another GT350R owner on providing a lightweight and strong street setup for his R. The goal for my GT350R customers is to provide them with a formidable wheel that doesn’t take away from the cars amazing factory styling. This will be the first GT350R on our SV104 profile, and happy to have him as part of Signature Nation. The car is tucked away in the NY weather, so I look forward to seeing them debut in the spring. Congrats Craig!



Honeybadger
I was sent a sneak peek at the very first set of our SV502 to be mounted on ANY vehicle. With the new release of this design I can already tell that it will be KILLER on the GT350 platform. [MENTION=23430]honeybadger[/MENTION] has a lot of weight on his shoulders as this will set the tone for all other cars to follow. I will not have anymore photos to share until Honeybadger is ready, but I can tell you that from what he has shown so far the results will be amazing. Both a beauty hard parked, and a beast on the track.



The Snake Pit
My buddy Clint has been making some progress on his GT350 on our SV501. The Ohio weather has his car stuck indoors, but idle hands are the devil’s playground. His most recent endeavor was the installation of Ford Performance Lowering Springs, GT350R calipers, camber plates, and Caliperfexion brake studs from [MENTION=19066]Epiphany[/MENTION]. It is amazing what the addition of our Signature Wheels, the calipers, CC plates, and studs can do for the aesthetics and performance of the GT350. Of note here as well is the reduction of the rear wheel poke of the factory R specs with our custom offsets.








Chris Gonzales
I also want to take a moment to highlight one of our very first S550 customers [MENTION=18005]chrisgonzales[/MENTION]. Chris has been part of Signature Nation for a while now and has been heavily tracking a set of our SV104. Proving the track prowess of our designs is a major priority of mine. With the release of our new Track Series wheels Chris naturally has a set of SV501 on order for dedicated track use. Just want to extend my personal thanks to him again for continuing to be a part of our company as we move forward.
