If there's enough interest in the Finspeed or Cor wheels, maybe we can try to set up a Group buy?
I am in on Finspeed. Usually need 10 or more, correct ?

APEX is considering making wheels for Mustangs. They are very reputable in the BMW track crowd. I lobbed in my inquiry for a set of 19x11s and 19x11.5s. Please lob in your inquiries.
Apex has been making mustang spec wheels for s197s. They test fit on my 2013 a few years ago.



If there's enough interest I can contact them for making some for us

Apex makes an excellent wheel, and I think the ARC-8 (in the picture) is a solid style for the Shelby. Consider me interested . . .

Very nice! Those are the deep concave CF10's in gunmetal finish, right? I didnt see it mentioned in your earlier posts, but guessing on what you said about spacers, you got them with different offsets?

If you could, could you post a foto of them from front to back, low down, so that you can see the stagger?
Interested in your driving impressions from a square setup!

A FlowForm FF15 set, which is what is installed on the GT350 below would be a great option too. A 19x11 set up which is what is installed on the car below, weighs 23.00lbs per wheel.

Alternatively for the gearheads who want absolutely everything out of a wheel they can get, the R101 would be an awesome choice. The R101 comes from our Motorsport collection of custom forged racing wheels designed specifically for the abuse of a track. What you get is a wheel which is designed to be as light as possible, also with standard knurling on the tire bead seat, to help prevent tire slippage under extreme motorsport situations. A 19x11 example of the R101 would come in weighing approximately 20.50lbs.

Here's a few pictures of the HRE R101 installed on a GT3 Cup Car and a few other close ups:

that's not the arc-8, that is the ec-7

Sure thing. I barely drove them down the road a 1/4 mile, but will keep you posted. I needed a better weather tire, and I like the Hankooks. Will give a better report this weekend along with more pics.

here are my summer wheels, 19" BBS CH-R. the rear's are 19x10.5 and have a nice amount of concave. i'm not sure how wide this wheel goes. they would look good on the GT350 but they are pretty heavy.


for some reason those 19" forgestars look really small, almost makes me think 20's would look more suited to the size of the mustang, but i'm sure a 19" wheel would be better than a 20" wheel on the track. i think the multimatic team uses 18's on their GT350R-C in continental tire series.

these HRE's are absolutely beautiful

and here is a set of the carbon revolution wheels on a BMW M2. this is the company that makes the wheels for the GT350R.
