Good morning fellow enthusiasts. It is with great honor and privilege that we officially introduce Project 6GR's new design for the 2017 season. Respectfully the wheel is called Project 6GR - Five. The five of course referring to wheel spoke design, where as the original design will be now called Project 6GR-Seven.
The Project 6GR -Five design has been in development as a collaboration between our wheel designers and also fellow enthusiasts like yourself. We have been paying close attention, listening, and taking notes very carefully to be able to deliver exactly what you have asked for. The end result of this teamwork is this simple & clean timeless 5 spoke design. We would like to thank everyone that provided their suggestions, comments, and feedback
The overall design pays homage to the original Project 6GR- Seven design by incorporating the same smooth continues lines that flow throughout the entire wheel. The spokes extending to the edge of the barrel provide a "larger" overall diameter appearance and also aids in providing strength and a higher load rating during tests. The larger openings in-between the five spokes will allow for the maximum viability of the nice braking components equipped on the S550 platform, especially those nice Brembo brakes.
You will be happy to know that all the fitment specifications will remain the same as the initial Seven spoke design. This means that the same deep concave design will be present on both the front and rear wheels. Shelby GT350 owners will have the R-spec option once more which uses 19x11 front and 19x11.5 rear with its super deep dual concave front and rear.
Something new for the 2017 season are new sizes we are working on with fellow enthusiasts.
We are looking into developing 18" diameter in different widths depending on the feedback/demand we receive.
We are also developing a B-spoke custom program where we will offer the wheels as raw. As a raw wheel you will be able custom select your offset, width, and finish with almost any color finish of your choice.
Estimated Project Completion: Spring of 2017 (April-May)
Pre-orders are officially being offered exclusively to the Mustang6G community first. It's only a small token of our appreciation for the love and support the entire community has shown us. Thank you a million times!!!

I am with Competition Orange. I think you should do an 18x11 with two different offsets, (one for the front and one for the rear) for GT350 owners who want to go down to 18's or for owners who have wide front fenders, ie. GT350 style fenders. I would like to avoid running spacers for the track hence the reasoning to want a separate front offset and rear offset.I'd be interested in an 18x11 square set for the GT, rotatable, and an 18x10 setup same specs.
I also don't think there is a need for an 18x9. 18x10 would make more sense for a non-GT350 car for the front.
