New LMR SVE SP2 Wheels (PP2 Replica)

[Ron]

The front PP2 extreme wheel poke looks awful, especially when the rears are nice & flush. Either that or they should have extended the front fenders out to match the crazy front wheel offset.

The press initially made a big deal about the front wheel offset ('ghetto' was the term used by one mag). I have to admit that I wasn't especially pleased w/it either. However, if you replace the rear tires w/a 325/30x19, it does tend to 'ease the visual' (IMO) of the front end poke. The bottom line is that for some, it will be the proverbial pimple that never goes away.

As far as Ford extending the front fenders, that falls under the same 'holding the price line at some point' issue that the diff & transmission coolers fall under. Trust me on this one ... I can almost guarantee that the installation of a Bullitt grille will take your eyes off the (ever so slight) front wheel offset forever.

Well, crud - I think if I had known that these wheels were coming I might have waited to get new wheels for my all-season tires... Maybe. I'm trying to make a EB=PP2 and these wheels would have made for a nice visual link. I'd really like a silver / bare metal as well, but bronze is what I had in my head for my car before I bought it.

Excuse the off-topic wheel, but for a color data point, here's the LMR/SVE satin bronze on the GT7's I bought in October:

For the sake of keeping the thread on topic, could you pm me more pics of your car with those wheels?? I too have a white car and am DYING to see some sve satin bronze wheels on a white car

Edit; after looking through LMR’s colors, the gt7 is offered in bronze metallic vs satin bronze like most of their other wheels. Interesting

Has anyone purchased the LMR PP2 replicas yet??

Will a 19x10 fit up front w/ no clearance issues?

24lbs. and below is where it's at, my American Racing cheapo's were 24lbs.

The front wheel poke looks purposeful. Track guys get it.

With +35 offset they'll fit great - same as the wheel I posted above. The front is flush, the rear has a tiny bit of poke.

I bought a set yesterday. I will have them on Friday if all goes well.

Thanks for the replies fellas!! I’ll keep checking back on this thread.

Not exact replicas but the 19x11 will make a great second set of wheels for some drag radials.

My wheels should arrive on Thursday. All 4 packages (wheel & Tire) are showing a shipping weight of 68# each, even though they are a staggered set. Seems pretty hefty, even with the boxes.

Did you get tires also?

Yes, I should've said that. 19X10 fronts with 285/35/19's, & 19X11 rears with 325/30/19's. I thought the fronts should be a few pounds lighter.

The weight is most likely a standard weight for wheels and tires in the box(es) these are shipped in, not actual weights. This is standard practice for high volume shippers that have contracted rates with the UPS, FEDEX, etc.

My set came in today. They are quite a bit darker than the initial pictures showed in person. At first I thought they shipped me a black set. They once I got it in the light I could see the Graphite.
