Damn you guys spoiled the surprise lol. I told them not to post IG just yet haha.
Oh well , so I havent seen them in person yet ( stuck up on campus till Thursday night), but the images they texted me its just wow
Also we increased the load index a tad bit more then standard so that we know these badboys can hold up under some serious stress.

Hey guys so here is some more images for you, also update on the lug nuts, so these wont use the factory lug nuts, everything else checks out.
hubcentric
factory caps
factory tpms
the reason to the lug nut is they are large in seat the holes are smaller, we needed to boost the load index as I wanted it to be stronger by a additional 50 lbs per corner, thus needing more material on the center. Small thing but nothing major and wanted to be more upfront.
As for images on the GT350 well lets say you guys are going to love how they look on a all Oxford White GT350 lol.
I call this a perfect pairing , our 6GR Satin Graphite sample paired with our Brembo Display.

So thought I would tease you guys a bit for the night.
These are our 20x10 & 20x11 Samples wrapped in 285/315 Toyo R888 tires.

Those look fantastic. Do you have any 19" samples?

+1 Can we get an ETA on the R spec wheels?Tob said:

Looking mighty fine! Could we get a weight of those mounted as a generic baseline? I'm particularly interested see the mounted weight with those tires.

Their just finalizing a few things for us to ensure everything is proper, my biggest thing for the R spec is making sure it is as close to the true wheel as possible, and also that it is as good as we all want it to be. So I have requested they increase the load index as stated a additional 50 lbs per corner. This causes the wheel to have a higher load index then what standard is in the aftermarket industry, big plus for everyone looking to test them on the track.
Images on a S550 coming shortly guys I just have a few shots lined up.
As for weights, I didnt get the 19s in I got the 20s in as samples, I wanted the 19s first to be honest but hell it is what it is and I made the best of it.
So We had a Oxford White GT350 at the shop this past weekend for some QC checks, and we are actually having him come by again this Sunday for another set of final QC checks. Call me OCD.
But I was able to compare some weights for you guys.
We weighed the Factory wheels and tires and here is what we have concluded
Build: Forged
Location: China ( confirmed with visual inspection of wheels today at shop)
Front
Wheel: 19x10.5 ET 30
Tire: Michelin Pilot Super Sport 295/35/20
Wheel & Tire Combo Weight: 61.05 lbs
Rear
Wheel: 19x11 ET 62
Tire: Michelin Pilot Super Sport 305/35/20
Wheel & Tire Combo Weight: 62.2 lbs
Now breaking this down
Factory Weights
Tires:
Front: 28 lbs
Rear: 30 lbs
Wheels ( based on this calculation)
Front: 33.05 lbs
Rear: 32.2 lbs

Well guys its the start of the weekend and I wanted to share some concave goodness for you all !
I promised a deep concave rear, I think we did pretty good but let me know what you think =)
These are the 20x10 & 20x11 6GR wheels wrapped in 285/35/20 & 315/30/20 Toyo R888 tires.
I am waiting on Monday to be presented a better ETA for my wheels arrival so I can inform you guys .
For now Ladies and Gentlemen, please enjoy this monumental moment for both me and the team here at N4SM.
