They are LMRs brand but that doesn't seem to stop them from getting pretty solid reviews. Some models are flow formed and should be strong enough for just about any use you can think of. The finish may not be as nice as P6GR, but the price difference makes it worth it for some on the forum. MMR is another option, somewhere between the other 2.
You didn't say which Project 6GR wheels you like but the most common seems to be the Seven. Everybody has a similar wheel, based on the GT350R wheel. She's version is more faithful to the original. The Ten is likewise similar to the PP2 wheel, SVE's SP2 is similar.
Don't get me wrong, Project 6GR makes a great product, but if your budget isn't comfortable with them there are other decent choices out there.

I have a Mustang GT PP1 with the black 19" PP1 wheels. I really like the style of the factory PP1 wheels, but I wanted lighter weight, and opted to stay with 19" wheels, both because I think it looks good, and I could reuse my factory tires (added benefit). That said, not all 19" wheels are created equal. Some have spokes that go nearly all the way to the edges, like the SVE R350 wheels, making them appear larger, compared to some wheels where the spokes stop 3/4" or more shy of the outer edge of the wheel. I'd shy away from the latter.

That said, I put on the SVE R350 19x10 +35 all around a month or two ago, and they did not leave me wanting 20" wheels. Nothing against 20" wheels, but I think these in 19" look great (on my car):

The SVE wheels are painted or powdercoated?

The LMR.com website says they are painted: "Finished in a sleek, gloss black paint"

FWIW LMR warrants the finish for two years (for original purchaser).

It seems 30 lbs is a pretty standard weight for a 20 inch wheel.

It's a pretty common boat anchor, too. I'd look for something lighter.

I found a wheel I like that is on lighter side Ace acc 06 they quoted these specifications 19x8.5 +25 19x10 +40 255/40 275 /40 for a flush fitment and no poke or a 20" would be 20x9 +25 20x10.5 +40 275/35 305/35
The offsets seem to be a little on the less aggressive side. The wheels should be 26 pounds.
What do you think about the offsets?

If you like 6-spokes. The SVE R350 19x10 can be had square or staggered with 19x10/11

I have looked at quite a few wheels. I have decided to go with a 19-inch wheel. I am thinking 255/40 a 285/35 or 295/35 on the rear. Forgestar 9.5 on the front and 11 on the back. I do not want to go super wide on the fronts I do not want to get pulled around on our shitty roads.

Any comments on the tire sizing?

If straight line acceleration is your only concern those sizes will probably be fine. If you want handling you'd be better off with less disparity between front and rear.

I was wondering about that. I did ask the fitment folks they said it was not an issue. I didn't 100 % believe him that's why I the question up here. I am not looking for an aggressive fitment. I have the stock 235/50/18s on the car now. So 275 on the rear would be a better choice?

I got a set of beautiful 19" 2012 GT Prem wheels for my 2018 off FB marketplace, and they look fantastic. Stock wheels so I knew they'd fit, and although heavy, ride well. Wheels are usually chosen for style, unless you're in a race (lightweight) application, so just get what you want. I personally think 20"s with stock brakes look silly. Thin rubber band tires and tiny calipers, but that's just me.

The PP wheels come with 255 and 275, that's about as much stagger as I'd ever want. IIRC, the GT350 comes with 295/305. I prefer a square setup myself, 275 or 285 all around seems to be popular.
I understand why drag racers like staggered, and "more traction in the rear." For handling, I see stagger as "less traction in the front."
