Well guys I have some updates to share with you. Noticing that from the customer service standpoint providing regular updates goes a long way. Lets begin.

UPS Shipping Rate Increase Starting 2/1/18
We have been notified by UPS that some of the worldwide shipping rates will be increasing starting in February. This will result in an increase in our pricing at the same time to offset it. If you have a desire to get into a set of the wheels before any increase in price lets get it handled before the end of the month. We only ask for half to start the build process, and if that is paid before any price increase you are good to go.

SV501 / SV502 Track Series Wheel Options
-Complimentary anti-slip knurling is being offered on this wheel until 2/1/18. After that date it will be a $400 option. All of you track rats should jump on this ASAP!

-We have added additional color options for the Track Series Wheels. Initially this lineup was only available in matte black. Now it can be ordered in gloss/matte black, gunmetal, and bronze.

Signature Wheel Precision Series SV701
We have been working hard to get our new Precision Series of wheel developed. The first in the series is the SV701, and this is a studio shot of the first produced wheel in Rose Gold. It is an absolutely gorgeous profile that will compliment almost any vehicle. Luxurious, muscular, intricate, and still strong enough to handle track use.

Customer quote pulled from wheel thread..

I'm so excited to debut these new wheels for [MENTION=32677]50Deep@DCTMS[/MENTION] and Signature Wheels.

Background:
I've been looking seriously at wheel options the last 6 months or so. I've been running the OEM wheels because the caliper clearance on my 6GRs was just too narrow. I ordered those wheels before I did enough research, so I ended up using them for street duty (even then, they scratched my calipers). The OEM wheels have decent clearance and are obviously stout enough for track use, but they're staggered and incredibly heavy. Not ideal for dedicated track wheels that will see Cup 2s/scrubs mounted.

I looked at Apex, BC Forged and Signature fairly seriously. Apex looked like a great option in regards to reputation and proven track use, but they were a bit heavy weighing in at 24.8 lbs and were not going to have the strength of a forged set. This left BC and Signature. After speaking with T and Chris (CSL), I ended choosing the brand new SV502. Perfect mix of a function-first design (strength, weight, and reliability) at an affordable price (almost half of Forgeline's GA1Rs). They were predicted to weigh in sub-22 lbs. So weight was good.

Sizing:
In the staggered setup, I was getting roughly 1/2 more life out of the rears than the fronts. This means I need to either replace 2 at a time or waste rubber. With a rigorous track schedule coming up, this wasn't a preferred a route. I decided to go with square so I could rotate and wear all 4 as close to equally as I could. I chose 19x11 squared with OEM rear offsets.

SV502s
On Friday I received my 4 boxes. Could barely contain my excited. You'll have to excuse the pictures - best I can do while its raining here in Seattle and I am stuck in the house.
Image


These are exceptionally well-made wheels. Beautifully crafted, but finished for abuse.
Image


Image


Image


Of course they're knurled to hold those tires in place under high Gs. Notice how every part of this wheel is finished evenly. Nice upgrade from my OEM and 6GR wheels.
Image


Drilled out holes for weight reduction. If you look closely, you'll see that the center cap has been greased so it doesn't scratch the finish when being installed/removed. Very nice!
Image


Alright. Meat and potatoes time. If you're still reading, this is what you really want. In 19x11 with +50 offset, these weighed in at a WHOPPING 20.8lbs. If I am not mistaken, that's the lightest wheel yet. Incredible. Fully dressed up with Sport Cup 2s (305/30R19) and wheel weights, it weighed in a 47.6 lbs compared to the rear OEM wheel + MPSS (well-used) at 58.0 lbs exactly. 10.4lbs - I'll take it! Will be curious to know how much a new MPSS weighs in comparison. Will update when I get the new ones mounted.
Image


Caliper clearance is exception as well.
Image


If you were thinking....wow! That looks double. You'd be correct.In order to measure, I bent pieces of paper until they touched both the caliper and barrel when sliding through. While not accurate down to the nanmeter, it works well enough. I measured the OEM caliper clearance to be ~ 1/4in. 6GRs are literally credit card thin. The SV502s were 1/2in! Again! Incredible.
Image

Seriously can't wait to get these on the car. The perfect balance function over design for a machine like the GT350. Not a bad way to improve reliability, looks, and lose over 40lbs of rotating mass!

2018 is off to a great start. The year is already moving along quickly. We have some new customers, previous customers, and wheels to introduce. Lets get to it.

LDP82
One of the interesting things about the posts on the forums is you never truly know who sees them. [MENTION=30956]ldp82[/MENTION] contacted me via PM regarding wheels for his 16 Tech Pack. His chief concern was a lightweight wheel for the vehicle. Even though he shares his name with a famous actor, ldp82 is a low key gentleman and his car is stored away for these cold months. I look forward to getting his car in the limelight with the new wheels. As many of you know my first GT350 was a tech package, so that vehicle has a soft spot in my heart. Very much looking forward to providing a set of SV501 for his ride

5LVenom
Jason is one of my good local buddies. He has been around the block with HRE’s, CCW’s, True Forged Wheels, and various others. He has a BUILT 1995 turbo cobra with a mod list that is far too long. After seeing the SV108 on my car he decided to make the switch and buy a mean street setup for his car. The vehicle makes over 800hp to the tire so anti-slip bead knurling was a must. The curves of the SN95 will look great with the design on the new wheels. I will personally be getting with him to take better photos of his car.

Image


TYGT350
I believe [MENTION=16123]TYGT350[/MENTION] is the first S550 we have ever had on a set of our Signature Wheels. His car is totally underrated. The fitment and stance on his car really tipped the scales for a few customers who were unsure about ordering the wheels. With that said, I had to show some photos that he recently sent me to edit. Here are the SV104 on his ride. I am very appreciative of him being part of Signature Nation, and an ambassador for us in the S550 crowd. You can also find him as @5150_5.0 on Instagram.

Just for Fun
Also had a few renderings done for some of my potential customers of the wheels on their cars. The Mach 1 photos were edited by the owner of the car, as well as the black SN95 cobra. Unfortunately many of the Foxbody, SN95, New Edge, and S197 guys don’t realize we can cut wheels to fit any platform. Check these out and let me know what you think.

Sunday funday boys! I can honestly say that I am starting to get excited about the coming months ahead. As customers start reciving their wheels it is becoming clear that this will be a hot summer. Take a peek….

Craig V
Had the pleasure of working with another GT350R owner on providing a lightweight and strong street setup for his R. The goal for my GT350R customers is to provide them with a formidable wheel that doesn’t take away from the cars amazing factory styling. This will be the first GT350R on our SV104 profile, and happy to have him as part of Signature Nation. The car is tucked away in the NY weather, so I look forward to seeing them debut in the spring. Congrats Craig!

Image


Honeybadger
I was sent a sneak peek at the very first set of our SV502 to be mounted on ANY vehicle. With the new release of this design I can already tell that it will be KILLER on the GT350 platform. [MENTION=23430]honeybadger[/MENTION] has a lot of weight on his shoulders as this will set the tone for all other cars to follow. I will not have anymore photos to share until Honeybadger is ready, but I can tell you that from what he has shown so far the results will be amazing. Both a beauty hard parked, and a beast on the track.

Image


The Snake Pit
My buddy Clint has been making some progress on his GT350 on our SV501. The Ohio weather has his car stuck indoors, but idle hands are the devil’s playground. His most recent endeavor was the installation of Ford Performance Lowering Springs, GT350R calipers, camber plates, and Caliperfexion brake studs from [MENTION=19066]Epiphany[/MENTION]. It is amazing what the addition of our Signature Wheels, the calipers, CC plates, and studs can do for the aesthetics and performance of the GT350. Of note here as well is the reduction of the rear wheel poke of the factory R specs with our custom offsets.

Image

Chris Gonzales
I also want to take a moment to highlight one of our very first S550 customers [MENTION=18005]chrisgonzales[/MENTION]. Chris has been part of Signature Nation for a while now and has been heavily tracking a set of our SV104. Proving the track prowess of our designs is a major priority of mine. With the release of our new Track Series wheels Chris naturally has a set of SV501 on order for dedicated track use. Just want to extend my personal thanks to him again for continuing to be a part of our company as we move forward.

February is here and I hope you are all planning to do something special for your cars. I can think of four beautiful hoops every car needs. Here is what a few of your fellow enthusiasts have planned.

SV103 GT500 Wheels
We just completed our very first set of SV103 for a the S197 GT500 platform. We will be shipping these to the new owner soon and can not wait to see the results. These are a 20” setup in our Brushed Triple Black Tinted. The owner Brad is a lowkey guy, but you can find some pictures of his car on Instagram @merkyworks.b2749

Image


ByronJ
We have been looking diligently for a Boss 302 to debut a set of our wheels on. Luckily @BryonJ from Track Mustangs Online decided to make a move on a new set of wheels for his 13 Boss 302. I really didn’t come to appreciate what the Boss 302 was as a track performer until the GT350 came about. Seeing Byron’s car and reading up on the roadrunner engine it is a hell of a car. Needless to say I think the SV108 coming for his ride will be more than amazing. Once he finalizes his specs we will be getting them into production. Thanks Byron!

Image

Image

Image


Blu Voodoo
As I spend more time showing our new profiles on Instagram I have been able to reach enthusiasts that do not participate in the forums. This is how I met with Blu Voodoo. Todd has a 2016 DIB tech package that he tracks 4-5 times a year. He has taken the initiative to add external coolers that keep it running cool on track days. With track use in mind he wanted a set of lightweight wheels that could handle the abuse and look good. Todd ordered the first ever set of SV501 in gunmetal and took advantage of the free anti-slip knurling being offered at the end of January. Looking forward to seeing these on his DIB tech. Check him out on Instagram [MENTION=15431]Blu[/MENTION]_Voodoo .

Image

Image

Image


Mikey
Mike is also a customer that I met through his account on Instagram [MENTION=6648]Mike[/MENTION]y_Cobra. His 96 cobra was in need of a new set of wheels since the Saleens on it now have become too common. Mikey saw the new SV701 Precision series and decided to pull the trigger. The car currently has a Griggs hood, built 5.3L stroker motor, watts link, coil overs, and some other goodies. A set of wildwood big brakes will also make their way onto the car to compliment the new wheels. Looking forward to seeing this one play out on the streets of New York.

Widebody 1970 Mustang Project
Also wanted to drop in a quick photo from a customer building a cusom widebody 1970 Mustang with a set of our Signature ONE Flagship Series wheels. This will be a long project until completion as it is being done in his garage. Nevertheless, this one is going to be more than special.

February seemed to have just come and gone. I just got back from driving from California to Florida, and have a few things to share.

SV701 – 20” GT350R Spec
Got the first set of gloss black SV701 cut and shipped for our GT350R customer. These are 20x11 and 20x11.5 with custom offsets to reduce the rear wheel poke. Installation of these is highly anticipated

Image


SV501 Track Spec - Gloss Gunmetal
This is our very first set of SV501 track spec in a gloss gunmetal finish. These have been built to a square rotatable 19x11 setup. I have to say that I do like the new finish. These are being shipped out to member [MENTION=30956]ldp82[/MENTION] for some track use

Image


SV502 Track Spec – Gloss Bronze GT350R Spec
Member [MENTION=32973]jaRS[/MENTION] got his GT350R spec SV502 mounted on his Avalanche Gray R with 305/325 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. These are the first set of SV502 completed in gloss bronze, and the first setup in an R spec. These were installed by TR3 Performance in Florida and they took the time to provide us with some weights, and a couple of quick photos. JaRS will get us some pro shots later, but here are a couple of quick ones.

Image

Image



Weights are quite impressive as the full mounted and balanced wheels weigh 53.1 lbs front and 54.3 lbs rear. The OEM GT30R wheels with SC2 Tires weighed in at 46.4/46.8 lbs front and rear. Keep in mind that the MPSS are listed as 4lbs heavier than the SC2 tire for the front and rear respectively. Our R spec setup is only 7 lbs more front and rear, which puts the wheel at roughly 3-4 lbs heavier than the carbon fiber wheel in the same sizing. Not to mention at a fraction of the cost. Included in this were some weights of the TiKore titanium lug nuts vs OEM GT350R.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image



SV107 – GT350 Square Non-rotatable
We are one step closer to seeing the first set of SV107 on a GT350. Hopefully the Texas weather holds out and these get mounted tomorrow. Built in a 19x11 square fitment.

Image

Image
 
Discussion starter · #28 ·
SV103 – 20” GT500 Spec
Our very first S197 GT500 will be on the ground soon as well. We got some weights on his 20x10 / 20x11 setup and the customer was VERY pleased with the weights. These are lighter than some 19’ setups we have seen being built for the GT350. Again, we are hoping that the Texas sun shines bright soon for these.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


Signature ONE – 1970 Fastback Widebody Project
We recently received updated photos of a customers 1970 Mustang Fastback widebody project. This is a garage build and the owner hasn’t posted much online. Progress and our wheel fitment has been amazing to say the least.

Image

Image

Image

Image


GT350 Renders
Part of my goal with the Signature Wheel is to establish a strong bond with several road race teams and enthusiasts to show the track prowess of our wheels. I have been working with a group of individuals that have their own racing team. I had some renders done of our wheels on their black GT350 for visuals. Curious to hear which you all like best. I think [MENTION=19800]CSL[/MENTION] wanted some renders of the SV104 and SV101 as well, so these should fit the bill.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image



Brushed Tinted Vs Brushed Triple Black Tinted
Here are a couple quick pictures of the brushed tinted (right) vs brushed triple black tinted (left) finishes we offer. I am a big fan of these tined finishes since they all seem to react differently depending on the lighting conditions. Gives the wheel much more depth. Brushed triple black tinted is shown on the GT350 wheel as well

Image

Image

Image


As always I am looking for enthusiast to work with on their projects. If you have any questions about a wheel selection for your vehicle, or know you want one of the lightest fully forged wheel setups at the price point please send me a PM. Do it once. Do it right. Do it Signature Wheel.

FPRS GT350R Endurance Build

Super stoked that the Ford Performance Racing School was so happy with the first 3 sets of wheels they ordered, and placed an order for two more sets. We are building some GT350R sized SV502 Track Spec for their GT350R. It is going to be competing in a 25 hour race amongst others. We will document more here as I get it.

Customer quote pulled from another Signature Wheel Thread..

C&P from my post in the wheel and tire subforum:

Toward the end of last year I was looking to buy a set of forged wheels for my mustang. I was riding on GT350 OEM wheels that I bought from a member because they were wide and they were cheap, however they left much to be desired as far as weight. My front wheel weight ~31lbs and the rear weighed ~29.5lbs. Originally I had almost decided on Forgeline GS1Rs, but I hadn't fully committed because of the high price.

Toward the end of last year I saw Terrance's (50Deep) post on signature wheels and the track oriented SV501/2s being really light fully forged wheels. At first I was a little hesitant about the brand because, to be honest, I just had never heard of it before. After looking into it not only on these forums, but other car forums as well, I noticed some pretty high end cars riding on Signatures, so I decided to inquire. I asked 50Deep for a quote but clarified that I was not intending to buy for some time. I was trying to figure out offsets to fit an 11" wheel in front of my GT. My setup was a little unique because I was planning on buying coilovers that have a slotted strut hole to allow a wider wheel in the front of the car. For the rear of my car, I also planned on buying GT350 brakes which require the 350 rear knuckles to be used. This in turn pushes out the wheel vs a standard GT. Long story short, after emailing a few people, I had a really good idea of the offsets I wanted and contacted T to put my order in.

I decided to go with the SV502 and at the time only matte black was available as a color for the wheels. A week or so later, Terrance contacted me explaining that they were about to start offering other wheel finish colors and that perhaps he would be able to get my wheel order changed to a different color if desired. This was great as it gave me a chance to get a wheel that would stand out instead of boring matte black. Ultimately I went with matte bronze. Then it was just a waiting game. Terrance continually updated me with projections on when they would be finished and how soon I could expect them.

They finally arrived at my doorstep on March 1st, 2018. Four boxes with no visible damage. I opened them and found that the wheels were very well protected inside - especially the lip and face of the wheel. I didn't think to take a picture of the packaging, but I did take a picture once I uncovered the wheel face.

Image


Not a blemish on any of the wheels. My initial impression was that they were beautiful and after picking up one of the wheels I felt how light it was compared to the OEM GT350 wheels. Weighing them, the front 19x11 et30 was 21.3lbs and the rear 19x11 et54 was 20.3lbs. Unfortunately the wheels got to my house at 6pm and it was too late to have tires mounted. I took the wheels and tires to a local tire shop and after getting confirmation from the guys that they could mount the tires without damaging the wheel lip, I dropped them off and went home - they were pretty busy and my wait time was 3hrs. Got a call 2.5 hours later saying the mounting was done so I went to go pick them up. As the guys at the tire shop were helping me load them into my car, they were raving about how light they were and that they must have cost me a fortune - the quality shows.

Image


Image



Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to actually take the car out yet because of rain, but I'm excited for next weekend to see the effect of dropping almost 40lbs of unsprung weight.

March is slowly ticking by. Weather has been all across the board with many of our toys still tucked away due to weather. Daylight savings and spring is approaching, so here is a little something to thaw the ice…

SV702
We have finally released the second wheel in our Precision Series lineup. This wheel is called the SV702, and is a street version of the SV502 Track Spec. The crystal Burgundy finish fits the design quite well. As always, the first car to debut the new wheel will be in at a lower price point. Let me know if you are ready to play ball.

Image

Image

Image



Signature THREE
Our SIGNATURE THREE is part of the Flagship Series Lineup. The CAD drawings I saw of this wheel did not do it justice. The Flagship Series wheels are designed for low offsets usually on achievable by fender flares on the mustang. The concave profile and drop cup center make it look pretty crazy. Hoping to see someone rolling these soon.

Image

Image


SV103 GT500
Got our first set of Signature Wheel SV103 delivered and mounted to customer @merkyworks.b2749 . This setup has excellent fitment and clearance on the inboard side. This setup is saving 10lbs per wheel over the OEM setup. All of our S197 wheels are cut for big brake kits so the customer is not limited if and when they decide to upgrade. If you find yourself in Texas be sure to hit him up.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


FPRS GT350R
As promised I had an opportunity to spend a little more time with the Ford Performance Racing School GT350R after the Raptor Assault. The philosophy used to build this car, and the story behind it make it even more interesting. FPRS got this car shortly after they received their school GT350’s. Their contact at Ford HQ actually called FPRS and informed them that they had 3 EXTRA GT350R models, and wanted to know if they wanted them. You can only imagine what the answer was…

Image


This car will live its life at FPRS and also see duty at some local race events. It turns out this will not be an endurance car, but in fact the FP350S will be. The philosophy behind the car is keep as many OEM components/systems on it as possible in an effort to show how capable the car is. A Watson Racing Cage, A/C delete, FP350S exhaust, full race gauges, and some sticky tires are all that is in store at the moment. The A/C delete caused some issues as it left an open space in the boxed lower portion of the engine compartment. This required some new boxing to be done to keep turbulence out of the engine bay and under the car. After speaking with Dan McKeever we may also see an MGW shifter on the vehicle for some serious track validation.

Image


There area few very unique parts and problems associated with this build. First off, the removal of many sensors and computers not needed for track use has caused issues with the ECU. Something as simple as swapping the exhaust will remove the exhaust butterflys. As many of us know the car will not allow you to switch drive modes without them cycling through properly. This problem has reoccurred in other areas where sensors were removed, and will require some innovating tuning from one of the technicians at Ford.

Image


One of the most interesting features about his build is the use of Boss 302 headers! That’s right, OEM Boss 302 headers bolt right up to the Voodoo. The flange that connects to the midpipe is not the same, but you could modify that portion of the exhaust to make it work. If you had a set laying around from the sale of your Boss, or wanted to run an aftermarket shorty header for the Boss you could.

Image

Image


There are also some very slick quick release trunk latches discreetly built into the trunk and wing.

Image

Image

Image


GP350
Had the pleasure of speaking with @GP350 from Instagram earlier this week. GP has a twin turbo GT350 that puts down some very stout numbers. He was on the hunt for a lighter and stronger wheel setup that can handle the power being put to the tires. GP was close to buying a set of Forgelines until he was referred my way by a few customers. After discussing his setup and what was needed we were able to build him the SV502 he was looking for, and save him thousands of dollars. With the anti-slip bead knurling on the rear wheels there should be no fear of the tire slipping on the wheel when the boost hits.

Image

Image



Blown Dead Line
@Blowndeadline was actually a gentleman that came our way on Instagram via our relationship with MGW. BDL has an 800hp 2011 GT500 in need of some new wheels. BDL has a set of aftermarket wheels on the vehicle now, but was not happy with the fitment. We are going to build him a set of Crystal Burgundy SV107 to keep with the theme of his vehicle, and fix his fitment concerns. BDL also does some AMAZING Cerakote work for firearms and other items. If you are a gun enthusiast or just happen to have time to kill I would definitely check him out at BLOWNDEADLINE CUSTOM CERAKOTE | We provide innovative custom cerakote solutions #cerakotethatshit

SigsauerGuy68 / Agri39
SigsaureGuy68 is a member of Track Mustangs Online, and has a very clean Grabber Blue GT350. During his ownership of the vehicle he purchased a set of aftermarket wheels that left much to be desired. Within a few days of chatting back and forth we were able to get him setup to build the first true GT350R spec SV103 for his Shelby. Sigsauerguy has a very unique wheel color selected, and is also having the car done up in a satin Grabber Blue. When it is time to debut his car on the wheels it should definitely be a thing of beauty.

SV701 GT350R

The Snake Pit is a hobby/speed shop in Ohio I have had the pleasure of working with. We ordered up a set of 20" SV701 for one of their GT350R's and these are the first photos I have of the vehicle. The car is currently at Autorama along with a few other Signature GT350's, so stop by and say hello if you are in the area. This owner also swapped over to standard GT350 front hubs to take care of the exposed stud concern that some have. At least until our custom lug nuts are completed anyway. Let me know what you think? I have a feeling that this profile and the new SV702 will be a hit on the S550, and everything else.

If you are interested hit me up so I can give you the forum discount :cheers:

Well, March has just taken off with some surprises. Lets talk wheels

SV702 Precision Series
Here they are in the flesh. Our very first set of Precision Series SV702 has arrived in Crystal Burgundy. I have to say that the wheels are stunning. This is going to be a hit for the mustang platform, and really show off the big Brembo’s. Weights on this wheel in a GT350 fitment are expected to be in the 20-22 lb range. It will be an excellent dual-purpose show and track wheel. HUNTING HARD for the first Mustang to debut these on, so please reach out to me for forum pricing on these.

Image

SV307S GT350
I recently came across [MENTION=31358]RaceRed350[/MENTION] on Instagram under his name of Trak_Wpn. I was impressed with his car and its use on track, and also noticed he was using a set of the spun/rotary forged Shelby Venom wheels. Visually they look good, but was disappointed to hear they weigh around 26lbs a piece. We spoke a little more about our 20.8 lb track offerings, and then things got interesting. I am happy to announce he will be the FIRST GT350 to debut our SV307S 2-piece wheel profile. In a 20” setup we are still expecting the wheel to come in at less than the Shelby Venom setup. These wheels will be tracked and shown at local events, so I am excited about the project.

Image

Image



SV501 McLaren
On a side note we recently had our SV501 Track Series wheel find its way onto a McLaren. Supercars still make me giddy, so I thought it would be good eye candy.

As always, Do it once. Do it right. Do it Signature Wheel.

Spring time is upon us. Time for the snow to melt and the cars to play. Here is what we have been up to.

SV701 Drop Top SN95 Cobra
Another 19’” set of SV701’s have reached their new owner. This SN95 cobra is currently getting some Griggs suspension work, wildwood brakes, and other goodies installed. The end result should be here soon
Image


SV301S GT350
I have been very fortunate to work with more enthusiasts as the weather gets warmer. I was contacted by Brad as a result of my posts here on M6G. Brad is currently running a spun forged wheel setup, and was looking for something a bit more unique. Having been in that situation in the past I wanted to do something special. I have long been wanting to see more of our multipiece designs on the GT350, and Brad already had a set in mind. Our SV301S is one of my favorite multipiece designs, and should look right at home on the GT350. After specs and colors were decided we got the ball rolling. Even better is that the owner is semi-local to me. Going to drool all over this one when done.

SV702 S550 GTPP
With the recent release of the SV702 I have been diligently looking for a way to showcase the wheel. I got in touch with Greg as a result of my relationship with the guys at The Snake Pit in Cleveland. Greg has a very tastefully modded 2015 GTPP car, and was looking for a wheel that would compliment his clean approach to the car. The lines and concavity of the SV702 were the wheel for him. Wanting to step away from a black wheel Greg decided to pursue the Crystal Burgundy finish you see pictured. It will be a good way to make the Magnetic paint and carbon fiber accents POP!

SV501 GT350 – Vudosnake
Vudosnake has been someone I have gotten to know via Instagram over the past year. He has a super clean Lightning Blue GT350, and really does some great photography. Vudosnake had taken a liking to our SV501, and the time was finally right to order. He has chosen some bold color options and I anticipate it making quite an impact. His presence in Canada will be pretty cool, and I look forward to a trip out there to see his ride in person. Be sure to check him out on Instagram @Vudosnake.

Here we are at mid April, and things just keep getting better. Weather is still a little crazy all around the country, but our enthusiast are still out enjoying their cars.

SV103 GT350 – Gloss Silver - Charlie
Found an email from a GT350 owner by the name of Charlie after seeing a set of our SV103 for sale on Track Mustangs Online. It is uncommon that we have a set of wheels in stock that are not spoken for, and we try to move them fast if we do. Charlie has plans to track his GT350 in the Optima Challenge and jumped on a set of our GT350R spec SV103 equipped with the anti-slip bead knurling. These have shipped his way and I am excited to see his car in action. The SV103 are track ready as equipped, and will shed a ton of weight for his competitions.

SV501 Track Series GT350 – Gloss Gunmetal - Blu_Voodoo
Since we opened up the color options for the SV501 Track series I have been eager to see these designs showcased in new colors. Blu_Voodoo on Instagram has 1 of 2 sets of gloss gunmetal SV502 in existence. This is the first time we have seen them mounted on a car, and the first Deep Impact Blue car on our wheels. Looks to have turned out damn well.

SV107 GT350 – Brushed Triple Black Tinted – Hawaiikid
Member @Hawaiikid recently had his calipers done in Avalanche Gray to match the car. I think they look pretty sick behind the brushed triple black tinted SV107.

SV502 Track Series – Gloss Black – HR213 / GP350
We just pumped out two sets of gloss black SV502 for [MENTION=5577]HR213[/MENTION] and GP350. Both sets were built with the anti-slip bead knurling, but with different purposes. One set will see the road course, and the other will see the drag strip. We stand behind our wheels with a 3 year structural warranty, and love to see these wheels getting used hard.

SV104 Customer Highlight – Brushed Black Tinted - TYGT350
6G member @TYGT350 recently sent us some high resolution shots of his S550 on our brushed black tinted SV104. I really like how the sun activates the bronze color shift of the wheel. Definitely check him out on Instagram @5150_5.0 for more.

The sun finally broke in Texas and I have been helping our first GT500 customer with some photography. Here are a few nice shots of the SV103 on his GT500.

SV502 GT350R – Gloss Gunmetal – Ford Performance Racing School
FPRS finally has the in house GT350R project on the ground. The car was taken out for some initial shake down passes at Utah Motorsports park. It sounds like it will be faster than the Boss 302 cars they have on hand, and the car still has some minor tweaking left to be done. Rather impressive of the GT350R if when compared to a prepped Boss 302.

SV502 Track Series & Forgeline GT350 Comparison – Gloss Gunmetal – Rushca01
One of the most important things I can provide to enthusiasts is data. Sometimes that data carries more weight when it comes from the everyday enthusiast. Member @Ruscha01 has a set of Forgeline wheels on order, and also a set of our SV502 Track Series wheels coming his way. He will be receiving our most dedicated track setup on a 19x11 et50 with anti-slip bead knurling. Rushca01 will be providing his perspective and experiences with the two wheels side by side, and I am very eager to see the results. Putting our wheels up against the biggest brands in the industry is something we are not afraid of. Thanks again @Rushca01

SV501 Track Series & BBS Comparison – Gloss Gunmetal – Ldp82
Another great comparison writeup that I am looking forward too will come from member @ldp82. He has received a set of our SV501 Track Series wheels, and also has a set of BBS from a prior vehicle. I was sent some photos of our 19x11 wheel being weighed next to his 18x9 BBS and I was astonished at how much LIGHTER our wheels were, given they are a much lighter size. @ldp82 also has some experience in the worldwide machining market, so his insight into the construction of our wheels should be an EXCELLENT read.

New Swag
As I move forward with branding for the company I made some changes to our slogan. I think it rings true to what my customers have experienced so far. Also started working with JC Woodwrx to develop a cool swag item to send to customers. This version is CNC cut from wood, as we like to keep with our track record of CNC cut wheels. The goal is to produce these in a smaller size if possible and send to customers. What do you all think?

SWAT - Signature Wheel Apex Team?
When was the last time your wheel company put together a track day to showcase the strength of its wheels, and invited enthusiasts out to see them in action? I felt like I should be going above and beyond to prove the prowess of our wheels in the most extreme of conditions. Step one of that plan was to host a private track event and invite enthusiast to attend. Step two has been the decision to create the Signature Wheel Apex Team, or SWAT. The idea is in its formative stages, and some of the details are being worked out, but it is a concept geared toward our track performance enthusiasts. Composed of our serious track customers that would be a great source of information for other enthusiast in the market for track capable wheels, and provide guidance for on track performance in general. Stay tuned for more…

The family continues to grow, and we hope you are next. If you are on the fence about the wheels just send me an email and we can discuss pricing. I do my best to get you all taken care of.

A few camera phone photos of our multi-piece Signature Wheel SV307S. This is the first multi-piece set ever built for a GT350. The wheel weights for the multi-piece design are generally heavier than a monoblock. I was impressed when these came in lighter than the 26lb Shelby American wheels that were on the car before. The fitment is spot on, and we look forward to seeing this car on track soon. Owner is Trak_Wpn on Instagram.

20x10.5 - 24lbs
20x11.5 - 23 lbs
