Can't say yet (not at liberty to say anything), but I can say I got something pretty cool coming. Just greenlit this morningYeah this $5k deck is really cutting into my wheel budget :lol:
What wheels are you looking at yourself?

How about you? What wheels have you had and whatcha' looking at next?
The SV501s are one of my favorite wheels on the market - but the price is definitely high. Do you track your car? Bummed about the SVE R350s not coming in R specs - they're a nice looking wheel. They do a good job replicating the CF wheels.[MENTION=23430]honeybadger[/MENTION]
My first set was SVE GT7’s from LMR. I worked with them on getting good photos for them to use and did some advertising for them so I got a great deal on them. They were R specs but wasn’t the color I wanted so I ended up getting a set of their SVE R350 wheels which are GT350R reps. I really like them and they look great but they don’t offer them in R specs so I’m wanting to get back to the wider wheels to eventually do the 305/30 & 325/30 tire setup.
I really like the Signature SV501’s, but after getting this deck built, buying Christmas gifts, and just having a baby a couple months ago I just don’t think I could afford a divorce on top of that if I shelled out the money for fully forged wheels :lol:
So, it looks like I’m probably gonna go with some P51 wheels in gloss black. They are a heck of a bargain with how much they weigh at their price point, and I like that not a whole lot of people are running them so far.
Yep, if there was no salt on the roads, I would not park mine for the winter... It is the sole reason I don't take it out. Tires can cope ok with some moderate driving on cold, or I could just buy winter tires for that.Haha, and I retract what I said... Still, we don't have to deal with salt, so that's nice.
I don’t currently track my car, but that may become an option in a couple years once this baby gets a little older.The SV501s are one of my favorite wheels on the market - but the price is definitely high.

P51s look like a decent option. But they do look hard to clean :lol:
I keep the garage the Shelby is in at 65 degrees. I've noticed that the tire pressure stays where it is when I take the car out in the cold. I'm assuming the tire temps are staying pretty stable while driving around. I've noticed the same in my DD's. Tire pressure on the monitor stays put while driving, but stop and shop somewhere for a time and the pressure drops considerably after sitting in a parking lot in the cold.Yep, if there was no salt on the roads, I would not park mine for the winter...

When I track the car I check my tires every time I get off, been pleasantly surprised to find the tmps be right on with the guage. Btw, mine has been under the covers for a few weeks and I miss it so much, bright side is like getting a new car every springI'm not sure how much trust I'd place in the TPMS sensors. Two reasons.
1. I put on new wheels with winter rubber, no TPMS. The sensor in the car did not realize there was no sensor for a WEEK. Then it dinged the error I click OK to.
2. My wife's camaro has it too. She trusted it completely. I put new tires on it and examined the wear on the old set. By the wear it was very obvious one of the tires was WAY over inflated (worn nearly to the cords right in the middle of the tire). But the entire time it showed a steady 35 in all wheels.
Lesson? Check my own tire pressure on all owned vehicles. That TPMS stuff is just backup, a secondary line of defense. It's not a replacement.
There’s enough salt on the roads to salt all of McDonalds fries for the next 10 years!Might get some wheel time next week. Expecting a string of days in the mid 40's.
