19x10.5 and 19x11 Forgeline GA1R wheels with their flush mount centerlock conversion. I'm personally not crazy about the centerlocks nor the red calipers. But wanted to share as I'm a fan of the Forgeline ga1r and to this point none of the 3 or so with them have posted any pictures.

Cool to see something different. Not a fan at that price point though.. The center locks kill the wheels too.

If they are doing that why not set it up to run a Square setup

The offset looks spot on, but the wheel design itself is just plain boring. They don't compliment the car IMO.

For some reason it makes the car look like a regular GT. Which, isn't neccasarily bad, but.......

I'm more impressed with the detail job done on the car. It looks amazing! :hail:

I saw this car on Forgeline's Facebook page. They're 10.5 up front. The center locks do look a little weird on such a flush wheel but GA1R's are my favorite wheel ever.

Forgeline makes a great wheel. I had them make a custom set of GA3R centerlock wheels for my CTS-V a few years ago. I think the GA3R's would look great on the GT350.

I'm so used to seeing Shelby's with black wheels, that any other wheels just doesn't look right. :shrug:

I think the ga3r's look pretty good. May have looked better with more rear tire.

Ford kinda made it difficult to to make a concave wheel work on the 350 given the offset and caliper clearance that'll be needed. Also the hub itself sits closer to the outside on the rear as well.

I've got a few ideas on what I'll run next but the main goal will be to drop weight and improve the looks also as the only angle I like of the stock wheel is when viewed directly from the side.

Are you going to be at Mid Ohio this weekend?

Given the crap forecast I'll likely not be in the 350 but I'll be up there with my buddy who also has one.

Interesting choice to go with CL wheels.
Even P car owners are not fans of it. What made you choose these over 5 lugs?
