Those Signature Three, do they come in 17" or are they 18" minimum?

Dang Terrance, you’ve been BUSY! Nice work :thumbsup:
Time flies when you are having fun bro. I got a little behind honestly. This was a big update.

The smallest the THREE can be built is in an 18" setup. Remember that with any 2 piece wheel the face is smaller than the barrel. An 18" wheel effectively has a 17" wheel face. In most circumstances the 17" wheel diameter is minimum to clear big brake kits. The 17" wheel would have a 16" face and likely not fit most cars on the road today. Some of the planning behind available wheel sizing on the 2 piece offerings.

You thinking about wheels for your project car?

My M coupe. What is the expected ballpark weight for an 18" setup vs something like SV501?

I have seen a 2-3 lb difference compared to the SV501.

The last 18x11 Track spec setup weighed 19 lbs

The multi-piece design in an 18” would be 21-22 lbs, which is still very light and good for track use.

Signature Wheel Precision Series SV703
I have been holding onto this one for a while now. We are finally able to publicly release photos of the new six spoke Precision Series SV703. This is our take on a classic six spoke design, but with our precision series flare. I have been thoroughly impressed with the capabilities of the CNC machine, and this line of wheels continues to show what can be done. Although this wheel was not designed to be a replica wheel for the GT350R, I think it allows those enthusiasts who enjoy that look to keep a similar design. For those investing their money in a new wheel I think its important to get something functional, while still unique.

The first set cut has been done is shown in matte black, and I have created a few extra coloring options to illustrate the design. Brake caliper clearence will still be vastly improved over stock, and expected to be in the 20-22 lb range for the GT350. I have a few GT350R spec sets on order now, but definitely want to see some wild colors end up on the GT350. Let me know what you guys think, and reach out if you are interested.

Custom Lug Nuts
The custom lug nuts for the GT350R platform are done. Measurements came out great and are flush front to rear. They do an excellent job of hiding the exposed studs. I will walk you through some photos and my thoughts.

Finished Products
Here are some photos of the lug nuts after being coated with black oxide. They are freshly oiled so everything sticks to them. Recommended to oil them up every month or so with WD40 on a rag or some gun oil to add some extra shine if you want. I do like the coating and finish overall, although they will scratch if you drop or hit them hard with the socket. Good thing about these is a sharpie will fix any small mistakes you make.

Exposed Studs Before
Here are some photos of the car with the ZL1 Addons titanium lug nuts, and front studs exposed.

Conclusion
I am happy with the product and how it turned out. It accomplishes the goal of hiding the exposed studs, and will blend very well with a dark colored wheel. Even with a lighter colored wheel it takes the focus off the stud and puts it back on the wheel. I much prefer not needing to put my deep socket so far into the lug nut hole and risking damage. I would encourage anyone purchasing a set to have them redone some custom way down the line. From my experience any time you have metal on metal the friction could leave a mark on the surface. If you drop a lug nut or hit it the coating may show wear. My personal idea to really tie it all together is to use some Shadow Black touch up paint to color the very tip of the stud so it matches with the end of the lug nut. In any case, let me know what you think.

Hello everyone! First off I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Fathers Day. Second, June has been packed with a lot of interesting news for the mustang community. The announcement of the return of the GT350 for 2019 has sparked some interesting conversations. With the 2019 GT350 packed with new tech to make it even faster, a set of lightweight wheels on the 15-18 GT350 will be a great step to keeping competitive. To celebrate Fathers day, commemorate the return of the GT350, and to keep the 15-18 GT350’s as track titans we will be having a 25% off sale for the rest of June. In order to take advantage we need to have your order deposit placed before the end of the month.

SV702 – 20” S550 Fitment – Crystal Burgundy
This is the very first set of SV702 ordered for the Mustang platform. [MENTION=9347]S550[/MENTION]_Coyote took the jump on being the first to debut the wheel, and also in a very eye catching color. The car took best in show its first week out, and I cant wait to see what else the summer brings. For more follow [MENTION=9347]S550[/MENTION]_Coyote and @The_Snake_Pit_ on Instagram. If you are in Ohio and would look to see any of The Snake Pit cars in person send me a PM.

SV702 – 20” S197 Fitment – Brushed Triple Black Tinted
This set of SV702 was built with special considerations in mind. This Roush RS3 is equipped with a custom Wilwood brake setup front and rear. The owner was having difficultly finding wheels that would clear without the use of spacers. The thing I love about the fully forged CNC process is that we can custom build the wheel to clear any brake package. The end result is a wheel setup that fits perfectly without the need for spacers. Very happy to see our first Roush car representing strong. Check out @Bobbyramser on Instagram for more, or contact me so I can get you in touch with The Snake Pit in Ohio.

Here we are half way through July. 2018 is burning through the days fast, in more ways than one. Here is what we have to share.

Wheel Release – Signature Wheel SV306S
Very excited to share photos of our newly released SV306S two piece wheel. It blends the classic 5 spoke design with some of our modern design influences. I will be running this wheel in a 20” on my GT350R soon and cant wait to see the results. Wondering which of you will follow suit.

Precision Series SV703 Delivered
The first sets of our Precision Series SV703 have been delivered to customers. Test fitting and caliper clearance looks amazing as usual. The new deeper concave profile in the front is looking to be the new standard.

SV301S 20” GT350 – Bradley
Somehow this amazing piece of art is still being kept under wraps. Our first SV301S GT350 has been out hitting the car show scene and enjoying the weather. Looking forward to a full photo shoot with more photos soon

SV307S 20” GT350 – Trak Wpn
As the 20” trend continues to grow it felt only right to show some recent photos from Trak_wpn on Instagram.

More on the way tomorrow. Until then....

Do it once. Do it right. Do it Signature Wheel.

SV501 Track Series GT350R – Oldbmwfan
It literally took about a year for our buddy oldbmwfan to get his SV501 Track Series mounted to his GT350R. The results look good, and his first track day was a success. Sometimes a little delayed gratification is worth it.

SV501 Track Series GT350R – Dtmaso
At the private track event we held earlier in the year my good buddy Steve had a chance to put his SV501 Track Series to the test. Here are a couple photos of him giving Buttonwillow Raceway Park some hell.

SV501 Track Series – Colin/Vudosnake & Chrisgonzales

Our buddy Vudosnake is currently on a rally across Canada an the US. Here is a solid side shot of his car before the rally livery. While I think everyone knows the infamous Chrisgonzales’ S550 on the SV501 as well. Chris calls him self aggressively subtle, and I am not so sure about the subtle part.

Sorry I'm such a deadbeat. I still owe you better pics with the car not covered in track crud.

One thing I'm glad to say: I love the SV501s, they are not noticeably heavier than the CF wheels in street driving (no change to ride quality, impact harshness, steering feel).

Running 305/30-19 MPSS all around on R-spec wheels (10.5" wide front, 11" wide rear) works perfectly. The rear stretch is a tad more than the stock 315 MPSC2s, while the front stretch is a tad less than the stock 305 MPSC2s. This is because the MPSS has a wider and more square tread section design than the Cup 2 tires. The MPSS is recommended for rim widths 10-12", so it is comfortably in the intended design limits of the tire on both ends of the R ... and you don't get the big poke that 325s give in the rear with MPSS or MPS4.

The other great surprise: I am running -2* camber and 0 toe front, with -1.6* camber and 0.3 deg total toe in rear. On the Cup tires on the street, the front end really tramlined and it was a bit of a handful with zero toe - but it was awesome on the track. With the MPSS tires mounted, the car is MUCH more comfortable and relaxed on the street, even with the exact same alignment settings ... not to mention transformed in the rain (duh).

Nice to be able to drive the R anywhere through wet or dry weather without anxiety.
