These will be getting mated to some tires Tuesday evening. I should have some photos with them on by next weekend.

Good news is I am waiting on samples of the next batch of lug nuts in Ti. Those should rock your world

My second track day of the year in the GT350R is coming up this Monday at ThunderHill Raceway Park. I ordered a set of Signature Wheel Track Series SV503 and they arrived today. Built in a 19x11 / 19x11.5 GT350R spec, Gloss Gunmetal finish, and anti-slip bead knurling. I plan to put on a set of 305/30/19 Continental that I have in the garage and get some use out of them. Thinking I may place on the OEM SC2 once those are done for.​

In general I have always felt track specific and track focused wheels left a little something to be desired. Not the case with these.

Ran into a logistical nightmare with trying to move all these wheels and tires. Luckily we have a solid option here in Sacramento thanks to Wade at Premier Mobile Tire. He came to the house to do the mounting/balancing. Cost me about $340 out the door, and even had black wheel weights for the black wheels. A little more than I pay at my local tire shop, but well worth it considering my time savings. He got all this mounted up in about an hour and didn't scratch any of the wheels.

These are the new Track Series SV503 and Precision Series SV702 mounted up on the car. The SV503 are wrapped in 305 continentals and will be a track wheel. The SV702 will be my winter setup and on a 305/325 MPSS setup. Both are built with anti slip bead knurling so I can put on a slick if I get that advanced. But everything is for sale ;).

Very happy with both, but wondering which one you guys like more.

1) SV503 - GT350R Spec - Gloss Gunmetal

2) SV702 - GT350R Spec - Matte Black

503. And great choice with the tire. Love the Conti’s. They look/fit soooo much better than the Michelin’s. Love mine. Why did you not do the 325 in the rear? The 325 Conti does not fit like the 325 Michelin. I think you would have liked it.

With the track setup most tires in a road race environment perform better, and are more predictable with a little bit of stretch as opposed to bulge..... but mainly because I already had them at the house lol

These are some of the first images I took of my GT350R after having the Track Series SV503 mounted up. Pretty thrilled with the finish overall, and man are these things light. Had them out for 1 session during our last Signature Wheel/Ford Performance Racing School track day and they worked just as intended. Great blend of track functionality and style. Here are the specs, and yes this set is up for sale.


Front Wheel/Tire Data

-Front Wheel: 19x11

-Front Tire: 305-30-19 Continental Extreme

-Front Wheel Weight: 21.88 lbs

-Front Tire weight: 27 lbs

-Combined wheel/Tire Weight: 48.88 lbs


Rear Wheel/Tire Data

-Rear Wheel: 19x11.5

-Rear Tire: 305-30-19 Continental Extreme

-Rear Wheel Weight: 20.58 lbs

-Rear Tire Weight: 27 lbs

-Combined Wheel/Tire Weight: 47.58


Overall I still prefer the feel of the Michelin PSS/4S over the continental, but I didn't dislike the tire as much as I thought I would. For street driving the Continental feels pretty good, but still a little squishy to me when tossing the car around. Good feedback though. What are everyone else feelings about the Continental VS the Michelin street tire?

T...interesting that you chose the DW instead of the Sport. What drove that decision?

Honestly, there were two main reasons.

1) I wanted to know what the Continentals felt like, so I could affirm my fan boy like behavior with the Michelin
2) I had a set of them in the garage already

2019 GT350 Wheel got you intrigued? It definitely sparked my curiosity. About to show you guys how it’s supposed to look. Signature Wheel SV302S 20x11 / 20x11.5 weighing in at 26lbs. Multipiece design with amazing attention to detail. Check those markings on the assembly bolts to ensure they don’t walk on you. Damn do I love sound engineering.

Regrets, we all tend to have them. I am going to share with you my most recent. This is a tale of a set of wheels that came and went before their prime. Sent off to live a life of tracking and fun with Jason Kanarky. I didn’t really appreciate them until they were gone.

In my quest to debut every set of wheels on the GT350 for potential customers I ordered a set of our Signature Wheel Precision Series SV702. Until now they had only been built for Bobby Ramser’s S197 Roush and Greg Hildebrand’s S550. Beautiful cars, however, I wanted to test some new offsets and get technical data for everyone.

This wheel was ordered in the GT350R spec, but with modified offsets to reduce the rear poke, and make the fronts more concave. The new concave profile adds about 1lb to the front. Happy to report no rubbing with the new rear specs, even with the wider tire. The new owner has also tracked them, done burnouts, and driven the Tail of The Dragon without issue.

I finally got around to editing the photos I took and really started to love the look. It rekindled a love for black wheels, but In the end I still like some brighter finishes. May end up ordering another set at some point. Here is the skinny:

Signature Wheel Precision Series SV702
Matte Black
Anti-Slip Bead Knurling
19x11 - 305/30/19 MPSS
19x11.5 - 325/30/19 MPSS

Front Wheel Data
Front wheel weight - 24.11 lbs
Front tire weight- 29.03 lbs
Combined wheel/tire weight 53.14 lbs

Rear Wheel Data
Rear wheel weight- 19.31 lbs
Rear tire weight- 35.05 lbs
Combined wheel/tire weight - 54.36 lbs

One of my buddies Chris Gonzales is a tinkerer. He owns a tracked out S550 and knows his way round an LED board. He developed some custom rear LED lights to replace the reflectors in the S550 rear valence. Pretty slick when I saw them for the first time, and asked him to build me a set. As far as I know these were the first set to be installed on a car that wasn't his. ​

​

The install process took me about 3 hours, but it was because I was being a dunce. The rear valence on the GT350 has some added bracing in the way of removing the one nut that bolts the reflector in place. Once I figured out I could push things around to get my swivel in place the removal was pretty easy. Chris wrote up some instructions based on my experience, and even added heat wrap to block the wires from the exhaust. The only thing you need to remove on the GT350 is the lower diffuser, but that comes off easy enougt.​

​

Here is a short video of them in operation. They work as a running light, brake light, turn signal, and hazard. You can also disconnect certain wires to make them work how you want.​

What a tease..... Gotta run to Costco so leaving this here. More when I get done editing.

Some updated shots of my GT350R on the SV302S. This is the answer to the OEM 2019 GT350 wheel if that is what you are after. This is a great spec for stock ride height, lowered, street, and track use. You can also see how clean the Exhibitions Of Speed Titanium Lug nuts install with the package. Oh, and this wheel setup is currently for sale :-)
