Brought the GT500 to Signature Wheel HQ. Threw some sample wheels we had lying around in front of the car for reference. Going to have a lot of fun with this thing, and excited to see what I build for some of you.

What is your favorite so far?

Just my personal taste, but anything with chrome on it looks out of place on this car. (Shiny gold wheels included)

I'm more a fan of the tough look, rather than the bling-bling variety.

I really like that last wheel. Simple, clean and tough looking. If they are on the light side, that might be the wheel in my future.

I can see you loving the Gloss Black, Matte Black, or Brushed Triple Black Tinted....

I sincerely hope that it is.

Dude, I was hoping you might debut that design!

Unpaid PSA--

Just received a set of matte black SV701s--fast and in perfect condition.

@50 Deep went the extra mile to deliver exactly what I wanted--even took them to the post office and personally shipped them himself.

Great quality wheel, great price, and even better customer service.

I like to disassemble things.
Matte looks very sharp.

What options do you have for a square 11.5” for track use?
Thanks

Here is some quick data on the wheel weights I got from the GT500 I spent some time with. The OEM wheel weights are more than even I had expected. 36/35 lbs front to rear. I will explain the variables and then you can digest the data or do more calculations. My scale is pretty accurate, but of course leave some room for variation.

GT500 base wheels and the signature wheel weights are both a fully mounted and balanced setup. Signature wheels both have roughly 2000 miles on them, so close to new. Tire weights were pulled from Michelin. Subtracting the fully mounted weight from the tire weight gives you the weight of the wheel by itself.

Offsets will affect weight, and the signature wheels used are based on the GT350R, but within 10-12 mm of the GT500 offsets. I would put them within .50 - 1 lb of the GT500 spec wheel built in the same design.

Weights on the Track Series SV502 were provided by a customer that we built wheels for matching the OEM GT500 CFTP wheel sizing/offsets.

Base GT500 Wheel

20x11 305/30/20 - 66.74 lbs (full setup)
20x11 315/30/20 - 65.94 lbs (full setup)

305/30/20 Pilot 4S - 30.51 lbs (tire only)
315/30/20 Pilot 4S - 30.51 lbs (tire only)

20x11 front wheel - 36 lbs (wheel only)
20x11 rear wheel - 35 lbs (wheel only)

Signature Wheel SV801

SV801 20x11 295/30/20 - 53.30lbs (full setup)
SV801 20x11.5 305/30/20 - 54.06lbs (full setup)

295/30/20 Pilot 4S - 29.67 lbs (tire only)
305/30/20 Pilot 4S - 30.51 lbs (tire only)

SV801 20x11 front - 23.63 lbs (wheel only)
SV801 20x11.5 rear - 23.55 lbs (wheel only)


Signature Wheel SV704

SV704 20x11.5 325/25/20 - 57.70 lbs (full setup)
SV704 20x11.5 325/25/20 - 55.12 lbs (full setup)

325/25/20 Pilot 4S - 30.2 lbs (tire only)

SV704 20x11.5 front - 27.5 lbs (wheel only)
SV704 20x11.5 rear - 24.92 lbs (wheel only)


Signature Wheel Track Series SV502

20x11 CFTP offsets - 23lbs (wheel only)
20x11.5 CFTP offsets - 23lbs (wheel only)

Conclusion: The base GT500 wheels are freaking heavy. If you get rolling with a set from us we can drop 40-50 lbs of rotating mass depending on the wheel design and spec we build for you.

On the 11.5” SV704 the front wheels weigh more, are the front wheels different than the rears? I thought one reason to have a square setup was to be able to rotate tires front to back.
Or is that just rounding error?

The fronts have a thicker mounting pad cut into the wheel increasing the weight. You could swap tires if you have the same front/rear 305/305 or 315/315, etc... But would require remounting.

Instead of a thicker mounting pad could a shim be used on the front?

That brake caliper clearance issue we will solve all day, and twice on Sunday.

We can definitely appreciate the desire to keep the OEM look an such an amazing car. For all the guys looking for something different it’s going to be one hell of a ride.
