Drove it to work in the rain this morning. Zero issues even on the interstate at 70mph.

I can't wait to see what the R spec looks like with the Michelin PSS tires on them in stock form. I'd love to go with a 315 on the rear and 305's up front, but they don't make the PSS's in that size :( Debating on whether to up the ante and just go with the Cup2's since I plan to have the ready to swap on a moment's notice. Anyone have any feedback on how the stock R tires are for daily driving? I'm in Vegas, so the only thing I have to worry about is well....desert sand. The only water my car sees is when it is getting washed and that's about it.

Paul, do you have any pics with the stock 350 tires on the R specs for us to gander at? I know you said they would fit...but man I'm getting so antsy!!!!! Find myself checking that damn IG account hourly....LOL!!! I saw the latest pic with the gloss black finish and OMG!!! How much is that gonna add to my total???? I may have to take the plunge.

Id say grab a set if its a dedicated track setup.

Gloss black is custom so its a bit more for the refinishing.

What wheel center options are out there besides "FORD" and the galloping 'Stang? I'd like to get lugs and centers ready for my R specs during the wait.

Lugs ive worked out no problems, caps you have the color matched blanks I provide

then the OEM Ford and pony caps, also there are a few sites that sell them with the snake

Been a few weeks. Still looking towards the end of the month for R spec deliveries?

Dumb comment but it would be badass to have a 17" rear version of this wheel for drag tires lol

Would also like to know pricing on a R-spec set, and apologies since this has no doubt been covered somewhere in the 44 pages of this thread but what is the weight compared to the factory CF rim?

on the water so should be a week or so on arrival to us.

were tossing the idea for a 19x11 fitment for track, maybe 18s later down the line. For 17s we need to look into it also.

No worries Ill shoot you a pm. the CF wheels are 18-19 lbs per these will be mid 20s up to about 26.8 lbs presumptive.

Paul...since I'm getting the R spec wheel, I'm still on the fence as to whether or not the stock 350 tires (PSS) will look right with the wider rim or to just spend the extra cash and get the 350R tires (Cup2). I don't put that many miles on my car and honestly...doubt I ever track it. But in Vegas, the weather is good just about year round and rain is like a unicorn here :lol:

I know I'm in that shipment due to arrive shortly. Is it possible to make the final decision on which tires after I've seen a few pics from you?

There is no need for the SC2s if you never plan to track it and dont drive it much. You are only marginally stretching the tire so its a non-issue IMO. According to Michelin you can run a 305 PSS on up to a 12" rim and a 295 on an 11.5" so should be good either way

Had not heard that presumption thus far? Last I recall was 25.5, up from 24.5.....these wheels are eating too many doughnuts. :shrug:

 

[50 Deep]

I think the 26 lb number is for the 20" wheels

of course, we can look further into that for you as well.

Correct MPSS stated these sizes on the GT350 can easily be used on wider 11/11.5 widths also

Ill have better confirmation shortly all weights of course are ~ until im able to weigh it myself in person.

Regardless even if they do come out to say 26 lbs or so they would still be lighter then the factory GT350 wheels which come to 33 lbs and change
