I cant wait until my car is fine si that I can pick up a set of these .... *le sigh*

 

[Need4SpeedMotors]

Good evening everyone, I want to thank everyone for their patience. It has been a very busy 24 hours for us getting things ready.

Here is the weights for everyone.

Weights

19" S550 Standard setup

19x10 ET 35: 26.15 lbs

19x11 ET 50: 24.4 lbs


R Spec Sizes


19x11 ET 24: 27.35 lbs

19x11.5 ET 56: 24.7 lbs

Should anyone have any concerns please feel free to contact me.

For the R spec that's almost 28 lbs savings over the stock GT350 wheels. Not bad at all. Let's get those wheels shipped out!


R Spec: 104.2 lbs for all four wheels
vs
Stock GT350: 132 lbs or 33/wheel

 

[CSL]

Agree, not a bad weight savings. However, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in the final numbers. In reading back through this thread there were some pretty precise estimations specified here that were based on the sample that came in a few months back. The fronts ended up 2lbs heavier than estimations to the tenth lb. To miss it by that much is disappointing, and although lighter than stock, 27lbs is pretty hefty. So be it, it is what it is and I'll certainly have fun at the track. No disrespect to anyone, just offering up my opinion on a spec of this wheel important to many of us.

Got my R-Specs in yesterday. Haven't had time to do much yet other than inspect them. Very nice, Paul!

 

[VoodooBoss]

Very nice. Which lug nuts are you going to use with the wheels?

I haven't decided yet. Is there a consensus yet on the best option? I'm probably going to get some ARP studs at the same time.

 

[Need4SpeedMotors]

Awesome !

Thanks for posting pictures and enjoy them, if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me directly.

Most members are getting standard 14x1.5 hex acorn seat lugs.

When you say standard I think full size. So you don't need smaller diameter "tuner" lug nuts to fit these wheels?

Saw a set yesterday in person. Look great to me! And they weren't far from a real R, so it was nice to compare in person.

I found the bag of lug nuts in one of the boxes after I posted. They are the tuner style thin ones. The lug holes are too small to fit the OEM nuts which is probably the only thing I'm disappointed with. Has anyone found open ended lug nuts that will fit these?

I have found several options of the smaller diameter lug nuts. What I don't know is how far the front wheel lugs stick out from the seating surface(front R-spec), which is set back into the hole. Therefore i am looking at some long closed acorns and some open-both in black. I have the R studs. What studs do you have chop and why do you have to have open lug nuts? I get my wheels mid week so will know then.

Right now I just have the OEM non-R studs. I was planning on getting a set of the Cortex Racing ARP studs which are longer than OEM, so I prefer open ended nuts for that. I think the Cortex studs actually come with a set but I thought I remembered there being some uncertainty as to whether or not they'd work with these wheels. I could be wrong though. Honestly, I'll probably wait until one of you guys sorts it all out.

Have you test fit the fronts yet? If so how far do the OEM non-R studs extend from the seats?

 

[VoodooBoss]

Both Moto and I have several sets of lug nuts to try and I already have the ARP studs mounted up front. We will post the info as soon as we our wheels. I have a couple of other sources for lug nuts that might fit including a recommendation from @JAJ for some GM OEM lug nuts that might work with the N4SM wheels.

Chop, can you please measure the lug nut hole on your wheels?
