Whatever happened to "Road Rashed Barney"????
LOL still in process, the community has taken a liking to the M350 wheels and its amazing choice if you ask me. not patting our own back here but we are the first to create a "replica" that is probably better constructed then many OE wheels.
I had a change of heart all those Porsche GT3's around us are in purple I dont wanna blend in with them lol.
Looked over and sat in a '16 350 last Tuesday. When looking at the wheels, the spokes seemed deeper (front to back) than the MRR's. Meaning... the MMR's are probably a fair amount lighter. Great lookin' wheel, even had a deposit on them, but liked the FS01's a little better. Fantastic powdercoat process, Carlos!
Ya brotha its confirmed they are alot lighter lolLooked over and sat in a '16 350 last Tuesday. When looking at the wheels, the spokes seemed deeper (front to back) than the MRR's.

Note to Paul: Basic black is STILL where it's at!
That is all...
Gotta find out if the 350 Recaros are the same as mine. LOVE the alantra seat covers... WOW!
wait, im a little confused.
Why are the 19x10 fronts not as concave as the backs?
For example, look at the mrr gf9 (the wheels that the fs01 are based off of), @socalsnake is running 19x9.5 all around, and he has that concave face. Is this because of offset??
If the deep profile of the GF9 works on the front, I would imagine that there's a very good chance that the FS01's deeper rear profile would also work on the front, especially given that the car shown here is even a GT/PP. Has a rear FS01 been test fitted to the front yet?
i can see the confusion but is easily explainable:
) here is a example of what they did with the fs01 19x8.5 ( front) 19x9.5 (front) 19x10 (front) 19x9.5 (rear) 19x10.5 ( rear) 19x11 ( rears) all that say front are the same face profile and all rears are the concave versions. hope this helps !!
I want the GT350 steering wheel just for shits and giggles.
Well lets start from the top if we can. The GF9 has the three sizes 8.5/9.5/10 the main thing is the 8.5 is a flatter concave the 10" doesnt come in the proper range for the offset so that means we have to use the 9.5 which is fine because when we did the test fit on the GT PP we concluded with our special in house offsets you can rock it as a badass square setup with the max amount of concave.
i can see the confusion but is easily explainable:
everyone wants a concave but when a wheel has to much concave then it limits the cars that it can fit do to the large caliper systems, many of the 19x9.5 or wider wheels where actually meant to be rear wheels,usually calipers are way smaller in the rear so a concave wheel or deep lip will work.
the GF9 was offered in 3 sizes 19x8.5 (front) 19x9.5 ( meant for rear ) and a 19x10 ( also meant for rears ) where as the FS01 is catered to high end sports cars who definitely have huge caliper systems and for those cars is not so much the look as it is function ( although i have to admit the FS01 looks amazing and will be on my GTR soon
and if you guys need a quote please feel free to PM
I understand that the flatter "front" face profile was designed to accommodate certain very large front brake calipers. It seems that what you really have here is not so much front and rear designs, but a flexible concept, like a multi-piece wheel, with millimeter-selectable offsets, a range of widths, and another range of face profiles, allowing fitment to just about anything.Well lets start from the top if we can.

As for the FS01 wheels their flow forge wheels same concept as a blank, bu the difference is that the wheel now comes in a wider range of widths and offsets thus when they developed the wheel they needed to consider a proper X factor for the design which would allow for a wider wheel to fit upfront on a big brake vehicle application. That is the reason why as the width gets larger the wheel doesnt necessarily get deeper and deeper in concave.
You know you can always ask me im here to help however I can.

What I am guessing, though, and what my question was, is given that the very concave GF9 profile fits on the front of the GT/PP, then it stands to reason that the deeper "rear" profiles of the FS01 should also fit on the front. I understand that the FS01 is not a GF9, so there very well could be differences that would make the FS01 interfere - hence my question of whether anyone has yet tried to put a "rear" FS01 on the front.
I would be willing to bet that a 19X10" deep profile "rear" FS01 will fit on the front.
good eye !! and good thinking !!! we did do a concave 20x9.5 last week at our shop and had plenty of room, if interested PM me i can get you a quote to see if its worth your while for the test fit, im sure MRR will be willing to play along with us as we have been a active dealer of there brand for 10 years and we have a great relationship with the guys including Carlos :cheers::cheers:I understand that the flatter "front" face profile was designed to accommodate certain very large front brake calipers.

We can definitely handle that for you, it will be a 2 tone finish,
