Magnetic Grey (Satin or Gloss Black 6GR Wheels) Opinion?

[Tomster]

Well crap Tom, first I'm hearing about the caliper clearance. From what I have seen the CF wheels have this issue also so going to an R wouldn't solve that problem. As for not buying 6GR, that ship sailed hopefully I won't have buyers remorse. I know the fully forged wheels are superior but from what I have researched the spun forged are a decent compromise better than cast but not as strong as fully forged. Also the Signature even on their BF sale are 3x what I paid for the 6GR. If I was to go that route then yes going the full R path would be a no brainer.

I was considering going the R route and decided to just keep my GT350 for at least a year, its still way beyond my driving capabilities after my first track day and I don't expect to track more than 3x/year. I've already taken the price hit by driving it off the lot.

No worries, I've had 6grs and they are will work, but you are probably going to score your calipers and wheels over time. Congrats on the new car, I'm happy for you. My comments were generic pertaining to Rs and people that buy R parts for their 350s. Again, I've seen some gorgeous non Rs decked out with the wing, splitter, etc. But the fake badges.... well.

I vote for “C”. Bronze. I think Magnetic looks fantastic but needs contrast.

One of three reasons I passed on the R was the wheels. Second was the wing and third was the seats. I came from a Z/28 and got tired of the no frills driving experience. Loved the sound of the 350 mustang so I am a fan. However I do agree you shouldn’t try to look like an R, only if because it makes you look like a poser. Be different.

I do like the Bronze but don't like it with my lightning blue stripes. Yesterday I ordered the gloss black which is my personal choice from the start. I know its a safe choice but I honestly didn't make it because I want to make an R clone. I simply think they look great.

Even though I have Satin Black on my Avalanche Gray GT350 and I love them, I think Gloss Black would look better on Magnetic Gray since they shine more and would match the shine of the Metallic paint.

Not yet, gloss black on order. They said it would be 2-3 weeks.

Here’s my Vibe GT7-R wheels in gloss on my magnetic. So much Caliper clearance On these but I paid more than the 6GR’s. I’m not trying to be an R I just like these wheels after looking at way too many
