LMR SVE SP2 vs RTR Tech 5 wheels

[Keithfro]

Are these factory centers?

No they are the RTR center with the aluminum RTR logo removed and the factory pony pulled off the OEM center caps and placed on the RTR caps. Hopefully that makes sense?

I would have a slight preference for the SP2 because it takes the factory sized lugs. Its minor but the smaller tuner lugs on the RTR don’t look right to my eye.

I have a set of 11” wide SP2s in bronze with 315 tires for track/autox and they’ve held up well.

what size tires do you have on your SP2 wheels - 315/30 or 315/35 ? I've been eyeing a 19x11 square setup for the upcoming track season and wondering what size would be economical to go with as well as more choices

My advice would be to stick to 305/30. 315s are kind of a custom fit. The usually 25mm spacers and ARP studs would probably not be enough.

I'm running 315/30 and my camber and slotted struts are carefully set to fit with non-standard spacers/studs in the front.

@ScottyRyan2018 the lug issue is a legit one... for me anyway. I love PP2 wheels and considered the SVE set at one time. SVE wheels use different lug nuts as the lug seat is different than OEM. Maybe not an issue for some, but I'm often changing wheels for random reasons. So you need different sets of lug nuts. Then when you get into extended studs, you are forced to run open lug nuts but the SVE type. Maybe not a concern for you, but I don't care for it.

My 2 cents... grab a set of Mach 1 premium wheels. You can get a set for about $1200, and put your choice of tire size on them. Then look exactly like PP2 wheels, just slightly darker & narrower.

I should probably read the dates. Nice new car. I've read people really like the M2. Get some Mach 1 wheels for it.

Not sure what all I will do to it. Got 12 mm spacers coming plus window tint and a small CF spoiler. Maybe a piggyback tune. I did put A/S tires on it. Stayed with the 275/35/19 size in front but put 295/30/20 on the rear ( stock is 285/30/20)

It really is an amazing car. I'm going to do a write up on the M2 and Mustang at some point.
