Looks good - as always! Were you able to get the OEM look for the raised area around each lug opening and the center cap? I am looking for a 100% exact replica (forged) of the GT350R wheel. This replica wheel will go onto a GT350R. Thank you.Worlds First Real 7 Spoke Forged Set for the Shelby GT350/R's

Yes as you see on many images on this thread we were able to use OEM lug to sit on top of the face of the Forged Wheels
What aspect(s) of the wheel don't match OEM? Just trying to figure out the differences. Figured I would ask instead of guess.

We are not able to do replicate the carbon fiber wheels exactly because we would have a nice law sue coming from the manufacture LOL.
But we did our best to match the OE wheel, and its the best OE Style out there on the market currently.
Pretty much the center part of the face is he only thing that doesn't match exactly, but its very hard to tell.What aspect(s) of the wheel don't match OEM? Just trying to figure out the differences. Figured I would ask instead of guess. Like I said before, you make the best GT350R replica wheel

I never noticed the center cap area until Jake mentioned it! Nice job Jake! haha
Jake (@VibeMotorsports), have you seen the wheels American Muscle produces under their SVE brand? Obviously SVE's wheel is subpar compared to your forged wheel, but I wanted to point out they make the OEM look of the center cap with the "lip". Looks like Ford does not have an issue with it since American Muscle is doing it. You can see Auto Fanatic talk about them here: and attached are some pictures.
Thank you Chris for sharing all this information with the family members.I never noticed the center cap area until Jake mentioned it! Nice job Jake! haha
This is what I notice and I can tell you 95% of "non GT350" people would never notice are...
1. Weight difference, then again I also have MPSS vs Cup 2's on my Vibe's.
2. The Vibe spokes look a little thinner than the carbon fibers, but then you kinda have to have them side by side unless you've spent hours admiring those amazing stock wheels... like I have. ;)
3. The cuts around the spokes are a little more square on the Vibe's compared to the Carbons, but I like that difference. Again... I notice because I've spent hours staring at my car with both sets on! haha
4. The caliper gap between the stock carbons and the Vibe's is VERY noticeable! The Vibe's gap wins hands down! Good thing.
Don't get me wrong, the stock carbon fibers are a better wheel... well, because they are carbon fiber and lighter! However, these Vibes are awesome!!
We love it!!! This is the best part when forum family members get the positive attention and respect they need.
Yes, i have seen that wheel in person, and IMO is not a great looking wheel.Jake (@VibeMotorsports), have you seen the wheels American Muscle produces under their SVE brand?

That is hilarious! Just shows the difference between how lawyers see intellectual property (No Deal!), and how the public spends their money (Close enough!).I do apologize but we are not going to be able to replicate that wheel exactly not unless we can get FORD's approval which they said no, But its funny that the Ford Dealers are the ones buying most of the sets now
