Well if they do, I'll buy the 18s from you for a discount.

I scratched a wheel up pretty good and they no longer make mine. Been trying to decide what I want to get all over again.

The 19" are forged and very expensive in comparison

I thought everyone knew that.



Well if they don't, they don't deserve to own them anyway.

Can't you convince FRPP to create a cast version of the 19's?

I'd heard they were the same as the old GT500 wheels, so 26-27lbs if I remember correctly. But I haven't seen anything official, either.

Stupid question but whats the largest tire that can fit on the front with out any scrubbing? Not a big fan of having mismatch tire sizes or I'd jump on these and just go with the OE tire sizes.

Thanks!!

I'd like 20lbs, but the size seems perfect for my track set-up (with 275s) and the price is amazing

I've got 275s on a 20x9 wheel on the front without problems; allows rotation front/back at least. Roush does the same on 18x10s, so no problem there. I'd guess you can get a 285 on a 9.5 wide wheel, might get rubbing at the steering lock limits (I think Roush or Saleen made a piece to limit the full lock-out on the steering just for this) but you can just be aware of it and avoid going to full lock.

Once I burn up my GT500 take-off tires (these F1 Supercar tires don't stick too well, but hold up very well), I'm switching to a 275/40-18 NT01s or NT05s all the way around for next summer's NASA season. Sorta wish I'd waited for these new GT500 wheels instead of the old style I got, though.

That's good to hear now if i can just find a good deal on some 275/40/18s and price TPMSs and mount and balance. Its amazing how $600 rims can turn into a much larger investment than it sounds.

I'm definitely getting these wheels for winter. Shaun's doing up a package for me including Blizzak's and TPMS sensors, just waiting to hear back from him regarding the shipping. I can't wait to get these bad boys!
