GT5 Forged Wheels in the making for Street & Track....

[Motorsports LA]

Hello members,

We had a request for this wheel to be made for a 2020 Shelby GT500.
Its going to be a direct bold on with all factory specs and load rating will be high for track use.
The forgings that will be used are especially made to clear the massive calipers on the GT500.
Just want to share the design and we will be posting pictures and weights once the first set is done which should be in about 4-6 weeks.
The fitment will be the same as OEM 20x11 Front & 20x11.5 Rear with the option to use your OEM Center Caps, OM Tires, and OEM Lug Nuts.

Pricing? Ability to change offset? I hate how the front wheels sit in like an inch.

I agree. Could use a lower offset for the front.

We are working on pricing and should have it when they first set is done.
As far as the offset, on the GT500 CFTP we might have OEM offset only offered to be a direct swap.
We are still working on the program though to see if we go lower how we can make the longer studs work properly.

For the GT500 base which has shorter studs, we might just offer the lower offset option.

Ill keep the updates as they are going...

Thank you for the PM's guys. .

I guess I'll be the one to confess. Guys at Motorsports LA are making this for my CFTP at my request so I'll be the first. As soon as I get them I'll post pictures. I'm doing them in Satin Black. My intent is to have this as my track setup and will wrap them in Cup2's.

For those wanting better offsets for front so they are not sunk in please note that if you actually track the car this inset is likely needed so you aren't scrubbing anywhere. Now for me and other street cruisers, offsets that bring them out more do look better.

Very nice looking wheel. Interested.

Those are sharp! Can’t wait to see pics on a 500 and hear what the weight savings over factory is.

The Carbon Fiber Wheels are the lightest option.
Forged Wheels would be a slight heavier due the material being 6061-T6.
But the GT5 are going to be lighter then the stock GT500 Base and a lot stronger that for sure.
