Any new wheels suggestions?

[cjgt350]

I am going with the F110 Finspeed monoblock forged wheels for something different. Equal quality and strength to Forgeline. Ultra lite and Pro options will net very light weight wheels yet leave all the strength remaining. Expensive though just like Forgeline.

Unfortunately no. My local dealer didn't qualify and we are planning on building a house next spring. Also looking into a new business venture. I'm hoping Ford will keep manufacturing them in '18 or the GT500 will share the same architecture. Used might be an option too.
I'd be happy to talk to the owner and see if they have time to do a tour.

Hey man, I'm in Dayton right now. You have an R?

I'm going for a different brand that hasn't been mentioned...but not sure on the weight...will check and report back..

Thanks man. I'd greatly appreciate that.

Thinking about the CCW Corsair TS12. I've talked to CCW and they act like this is the only wheel they really recommend for the same specs of the 'R' wheels. I'd rather have something with a lip on this car but the offsets (rear) don't really allow that. However, I might talk to Forgeline to see about making a set of wheels that Ford used during testing on The Ring. Those looked great and had a small lip as well.

That CCW Corsair C2K looks great. May take that into consideration as well. [MENTION=17998]AMpowerJ[/MENTION]

Looks like the the R type wheels are 50mm offsets on the back so with 11 inches you could get a 3+ inch lip depending on design

HRE is no joke. I was quoted 10k for a set recently.

From whom did you receive that quote, Hennessy? Lol. Even with tires that's a little crazy. I've gotten quotes from hre for around $5k w/o tires for this car, and that's for 1 piece forged monoblock.

Read it and weep boys. Add in a custom finish, custom offsets, shipping, and tax. Wheels are about 2400-2600 a piece depending on where you order from

Ouch.

Lol I remember when they first came out and they where so poorly toleranced peoples tires would spin on the rim

Sheesh..........

Did you get a personal quote from them at all?

I'm not exactly surprised though either in the same way that I'm not surprised that a Lexus LFA costed 450K. There was a Hyundai Genesis at the Chicago Autoshow last year that was tuned in house on HRE wheels that were 15K a set. Surprise or not though, it's still an insane amount of money for wheels.
