There are few things stronger than the human will. The desire to persevere against all adversity. Sometimes it takes watching the strength of others to really stop and take a look at the things you perceive as obstacles.
All the battles you thought were worth fighting. All the times you could have spoken softly, but decided not too. All the times pride prevented an apology. All the times fear stopped you from seizing an opportunity. All the times you blew the doors off an Ecoboost, when you should have let them take the W.
I met Josh H. when he became a part of Signature Nation, and I definitely will remember him for a long time to come. Be fair. Give more than you took. Nobody is promised tomorrow.
The first Oxford White GT500 to showcase the deep concave Signature Wheel SV501. Built in a 20x11.5 square, and finished in Brushed Triple Black Tinted.
Super Deep Concave Signature Wheel Track Series SV502
As we continue to learn more about the GT500, things keep getting better. On the wheel forefront I was able to develop the proper fitment configuration to build the wheels in our Super Deep Concave profile. All of our wheel designs have a different type of angle and interaction with the wheel spoke, lip, and hub. These Brushed Black Tinted Signature Wheel SV502 are specifically designed to have increased brake caliper clearance, and get the job done easily. This was also the first time I was able to get the car photographed with the new carbon ceramic brakes.
Enjoy the photographs from @Boldcopy, and have a Happy Fathers Day!
The question from @AMBJR was simple, but loaded. "Can you build me a 20x12 square so I can run a 325 tire and rotate them at all four corners?"
My response was a confident "Definitely maybe........"
Allen's CFTP has the first and only 20x12 square rotatable wheel setup on the planet. Built using our Gloss Gunmetal Signature Wheel SV104. At approximately 23-24 lbs per wheel the car has the factory suspension settings, and stays close to the 19lb OEM carbons. The wheels are wrapped in 325/30/20 Toyo R888R at all four corners. Happy to report that after several hundred miles Allen has experienced no rubbing, and cant wait to see the track camber settings dialed in. We should see this finished off with Exhibitions Of Speed titanium lug nuts soon.
If we are only here to leave footprints in the sand, then I suggest you wear some big shoes.
Often people ask about what makes Signature Wheel different. It begins at the beginning. The focus on performance. The initial Finite Element Analysis. The angle of the cuts. The placement of materials thickness. The way the spoke interacts with the wheel hub. It is the same sauce that makes the GT350 more focused built for performance.
Others want to push the limits, but are not willing to risk it. Not willing to put their own money on the line. Not willing to guarantee it works, or they will make it right. Not willing to purchase a car to have on hand for development. Not committed enough.
Bobby Ramser and my buddies at The Snake Pit Ohio have that level of commitment. They know what it takes to get the job done right. They know when you want to be the best, you work with the best.
Enjoy the first deep concave Multipiece Signature Wheel SV303S. Built in a 20x11 / 20x11.5 with a Gloss Gunmetal face and Polished lip.
When collecting broken necks, its best to have the proper equipment.
Sean Jordan came to Signature with a goal in mind and a path to execution. Be the first to showcase the deep concave profile while staying with a 19' wheel setup. 19x11 / 19x11.5 Gloss black SV902 were employed to maintain the excellent factory aesthetic without being a direct copy of the R. Sport cup 2 tires paired with the 40 lbs of reduced rotating mass turn the steak knife into a samurai sword.
Slight camber adjustments on the R spec wheel provide better handling and that slight poke we all know and love. Making a clean car even cleaner, and more capable. Enjoy!
Guardsman Blue 20x11/20x11.5 Signature Wheel Track Series SV503 on @20RHeritage ‘s 2020 Heritage Edition GT350R. We do not usually offer custom powder coating, but had to go the extra mile to make this happen. These have an awesome transition depending on the lighting.
Exhibitions Of Speed titanium lug nuts for the perfect fitment.
With the advent of the GT500 and a return to Drag Racing we at Signature started to see how effortlessly cars can get into 4-digit horsepower. At that level you are always fighting traction. In road racing environments our anti-slip bead knurling was successful in increasing the coefficient of friction between the rim and tire, but recently found high horsepower cars can exceed its capabilities with hard straight line launches.
Knowing more was needed, We redeveloped it’s application and presenting to you our new Friction Lock. This revised system no longer has coating over the grooves cut into the barrel where it meets the bead. The grooves are also spaced wider/deeper to allow for a stronger zipper like effect with the tire. Making it more effective for drag racing and road racing applications.
For those pursuing road racing efforts we highly recommend it on all four rims since hard acceleration, lateral grip, and hard braking can induce tire rotation on the rim. Those seeking to drag race can have this added to the rear wheels only.
