New Shelby Ronin Wheels

[Bulldogs22]

I was going to pull the trigger on some forged magnesium but just saw these came out. Fully forged and from BC forged these things look real nice. Thoughts and comments below.

Pretty common style for that rediculous price.

i’d rather have a set of Apex VS-5RS forged wheels for less money and I think they look a lot better.

bought a set for my GT in 18” on sale a while back.

Look good, I dig the center cap too

I received an e-mail from Shelby about these the other day. I do like that style of wheel and at first was excited, but then I noticed they are 20" wheels. I agree with NigthmareMoon, would rather have the APEX wheels, 19's, cheaper, and I would guess lighter, but Shelby doesn't list the weights so who knows. If I was looking for 20's, these would be pretty high on my list.

I didn’t even realize these were 20s. I’m now out lol

Those appear to be RZ05s with Shelby logos. I had them on my Civic Type R and they are great wheels. But I think anyone that specs 11.5" rears at ET56 is foolish because you have that poke. ET61 is the way to go.

BCForged makes very nice wheels. That’s who makes one of the sponsors on here. Just less money. Apex has a great product to, but if your after there forged setup it’s in line with BC’s, cost wise. There flow formed(Apex) wheels are a good wheel for less money. The flow formed wheels are light as well. I haven’t seen Apex’s finish’s on there forged line up, but I’m sure it’s good. BC’s finish’s are top notch.

its not MUCH poke, and its zero poke with the camber you need to back up those 11.5 rears on a Gt350 road course car.

The Apex rears for a 19x11.5 are ET56. The 18x12” are ET57. 61 will be tight on the shock mounts.

we ARE splitting hairs though. If you arent pushing the limits with 12” wheels or 315+ tires any of the above should be ok

All good points above.

11.5 ET61 and neg 2.0 in the back works just fine with GT500-spec 315/30/20 PS4S on my stock suspension 350R. And visually, they are barely flush with the fender lip. Whenever I put my OE wheels on, my OCD is triggered by that rear poke I can't lie!

Shelby has kinda stopped offering 19" options nowadays though. pretty much only 20s.

 

[ModernSVO]

I'd only spend that type cash on wheels if you are tracking the car and now looking for that last extra performance and your driver skill set is going to be able to use the extra performance from less unspung weight.
For a cruiser cars and coffee ride. MEH.

If you ABSOLUTELY have to have shelby branding on your wheels then I guess this is an option.

We have a set of these on our 2019 when it came back from SA. Quality product and the finish on them is excellant.

Those are Shelby CS21s. I have a set. The Shelby 20 inch wheels weigh 22 lbs. Pretty light for 20's. Apex are nice if they weren't out of stock

I personally love the look of 20’s on S550’s. 22 lbs is pretty good for 20’s. I keep looking at ordering Apex’s but every wheel/color combo I want is backordered or not in production currently. Project 6GR is another good option at a reasonable price too
