Where's Wally

[VoodooBoss]

Are replacement CF wheels available? Cost?

I'm not sure if they are available yet but the street price should be right at $10k.

 

[RR2334]

Each or a set??

 

[VoodooBoss]

For a set.

 

[RR2334]

OK. Scared me for a minute there.

 

[TMSBOSS]

$10k for a set still scares me. I bent a PF-01 on the highway.

10k is two sets of Forgelines in custom offset. Might be a better choice for track duty.

$2500 per wheel is ALOT!!! Whoa.

 

[RR2334]

That's the price of the 2013/14 GT500 rear wheel in Canada. My dealer had to replace one on my car after they scratched one when replacing a TPMS sensor. Pretty expensive sensor. Bought the scratch wheel for the $50 core charge to keep as a spare.

I'm not sure if they are available yet but the street price should be right at $10k.

They are in stock. Questions remain on what the rotating mass benefit of circa 6 lbs per wheel is and whether the R damper tune is any less effective with heavier wheels.

Decisions, decisions......

Got Wally out of hibernation briefly, to fit the Boss Forgestar wheels and PSS tires, so that I can try to get a few more break in miles done without wearing out the PS2 tires or risking low temperature exposure...

Rears poke a bit due to offset, even though they're only 19x10" with 295/30:



Fronts need spacers to maintain track width as they're so narrow 19x9" with 265/35 Will post photos later.....

Both Front and rear needed open lug nuts due to the longer R studs.

Continue to be amazed by how big the front brakes are:



But looking closely, looks like Ti heat shields are stock

Didn't realize you have 19" Forgestars. Best part of that photo with the Ti shield is I can scratch one more mod off the list

That would be nice. Now we just need the R spec wheels from @Need4SpeedMotors. Oh and I need my car. ;D

Shortly brotha, got some good things coming ! Also @cloud9 is doing something for me as well which going to be a huge benefit for the GT350/R community !

Went ran some errands today with the Forgestars on the car:



the S197 TPMS sensors worked fine, including separate tire pressure readouts. I wouldn't recommend for high speed (over 155mph) use due to possible speed rating issues, but for Street/Wet's this is an option.....

Update -- Readout's displayed for 30+ miles and 5+ Key on/off sequences, but then I got TPMS failure -- there must be a lot more latency for "lost signal" than on the S197....

Man that looks good in black 8)

 

[F.D. Sako]

They look better on the GT350!

 

[302 Hi Pro]

Nick:

Your triple black Shelby GT 350 R is drop dead gorgeous! Absolutely a stunning Mustang and those ForgeStars look perfect!

Must be something to see others reaction as you roll down the streets. I had a fan encounter this morning with my 4.5 year old Boss 302. Still amazes me how some people just have stop, to tell you how much they like your car.

Good luck with your break-in period.

This car is pretty awesome!Sounds just right.
65 miles today.Not much torque below 2500,as expected.
Handling is excellent,plenty of power,not nearly as harsh a ride as my 13 GT500.
Very impressed by the weight,3518 on the MSO and it feels light and nimble.
I'm hooked,hands down the best yet,but I'm biased toward a great handling vehicle.
