Great to see you guys are open to feedback!

You can count me in the camp of favoring the concave look. Plenty of 350R replicas ou there...would love a more concave look.

Any possibility of a 19x11 squared setup for us track rats?

Thank you, here is the situation we have 19x11 19x11.5 we can built with deep concave front & rear, but would be only good for the GT350.
The GT350R might have to be a separate option so that the GT350R owners can use the OEM lugs.
19x11 square can also be built, but for you to rotate the tires you would need the 19x11 to be the same offset. Meaning that you would need a 25mm adapter in the front to work properly.

Thanks for asking brother.

Vibe, who are you and what is your backround in wheel making?

Our Team here at VIBE has a great amount of experience in the wheel industry from working with wheels manufacturers who produce wheels for Porsche, BMW, Lambo, Ferrari’s.

My quick resume:;)
Me personally as you guys know i worked at two other shops one that i was heavily involved in the branding and fitting of wheels that are now on Mustangs, Corvettes and Hellcats. Also i am very involved in the corvette community and forum and have been part of some insane track set ups and insane builds.
I also worked overseas for 1 year in Japan 06-07 in the testing of the famous GTR-35

We where presented a opportunity to built something so we decided why not get the owners involved as a it can become the forum wheel

Sounds good. I have a regular GT350 that I will be looking at buying a squared setup for in the Spring. Planning on installing the ARP extended studs and using a 25mm spacer. So I can get a deep concave, 19x11 squared setup that's light weight, you can't count me in. Love the simplicity of the thicker 7 spoke wheels. Easier to clean too :cheers:

Monoblock Forged is coming along!!

Thank you for all the emails and PM's we have gotten from the forum community.
So far we have gathered pretty much the same request.

Which are:

-19x11 Square for track use (25mm spacer required and longer studs)

-GT350R Owners want to use OEM Hardware such as lugs/center caps/tpms

-GT350 Owner Max Concave Design 19x11 & 19x11.5

- Full Forged Monoblock low 20's in weights

So far we have everything on spec, except we are working on GT350R OEM lug nuts situation.

We are in the hunt for a 1 OEM GT350R Lug Nut now to get it right the first time around

Anyone have a spare??

Here is the Monoblock Forged 7 Spoke in a Brushed Grigio Fresh Out the Oven​

This is my personal preference. That's the only thing I don't like about the P6GR's; that the lugs aren't exposed on all four wheels.

So you guys would like something more like this, with the lug nuts sticking out like OEM?

Agree 100%. This is the main reason I haven't bought any, although I've been thinking about it more lately. If we will have an option that is styled more like the factory CF wheels, I will wait for it.

Thank you guys, so if we would to get these Forged wheels to have Lugs to sit OEM as factory would be the ideal set up.?

**Keep in mind if we do so, the concavity will change from deep Concave to Mid Concave. **

 

[04Terminator]

Fine with me.

[04Terminator]

Yep. I bought them, mostly 'cause I liked the amount of concavity. And the finish I chose was beautiful so I will still run them.

Aye. Copy the factory CF design without pride or predjudice.

**Keep in mind if we do so, the concavity will change from deep Concave to Mid Concave. **

Admittedly, I don't have the CAD drawings or measurements, but the factory CF wheels look as concave - if not more - than yours. Optical illusion, perhaps?

I’ll shows some side images very soon of the first set cut and will show the concavity of a front and rear.
Thank you

I don't think the loss of extra concavity should be a huge deal. I've never thought to myself that the factory R wheels need more concavity when you see an R in person. However, I do find the lack of visual complexity in the hub area on Project 6GR's as a complete deal breaker (along with only being rotary "forged").

 

[l'Ingegnere]

Aye. Copy the factory CF design without pride or predjudice.

Frankly, this. If you can get away with it.
