I wouldn’t be to preoccupied about magnesium wheels from Ford OEM. Could always get a set from these guys, with a custom finish to boot !

I have a set of these and they are fantastic. Rears weighed in at like 16lbs.

Any chance you have that on a scale showing the weight? Even with the tire would be fine. That's crazy light.

I dont have a photo handy but they were stupid light. See this post from another member with the same wheelset.

After months of going back and forth with Patrick from litespeed (amazing guy by the way) on offsets, color, style, etc - I finally received my magnesium litespeed RS5 matte bronze wheels today.

They came in at a staggering 16.8 lb... Which I believe may be even a tad bit lighter than the carbon fiber R wheels? Not too hard on the eyes either, if you ask me.

Thanks! Very nice wheels. Especially that bronze.

The bronze color is awesome. Maybe a repaint in my future. Kept them black so my wife didn't notice the wheel swap

I usually go with choice D as obfuscation seems to work well with women even though it is blatantly unrelated to the topic at hand.

A quick change of the subject would be "where did you get that dress, it makes you look fat"

The subject of discussion would no longer be wheels.

Always stay on the offensive.....

I like your style Tom. Never let them see you sweat.

I wish I could share a number photos sent to me but I was asked not to. Bottom line, it was a black GTD, cage, etc, at Roush Bldg 57, also once SVT's old headquarters. I was there in 2015 for the GT350 powertrain reveal with Jamal Hameedi and a number of other Ford engineers. Anyway, I think it was the car they ran at the Ring. Why they are looking it...not sure. Maybe a teardown for durability analysis, etc. It was unloaded out of a Multimatic trailer, so it would make sense that it would be handed over to Ford as they likely "own" it and not Multimatic.

We need to hear about the time achieved - soon.

I too have been there a couple times, and have driven through that parking lot MANY times when in Dearborn, just to see what might happen to be in the parking lot. Its good to know the 2005 yellow FGT that was on a "stick" at Wixom, is still on the wall inside.

lol, well sure… but some of us like actually sleeping WITH those that we chose, instead of sleeping with the dog
