I am starting to like being the smallest fish in a big pond.
.
The ability to move with freedom and change direction when needed. Recognizing when an opportunity needs special attention and direct involvement. It can be harder being a one man show, but also allows for better control over what you put out.
.
When the chance to build wheels for the first ever bagged 2020 GT500 came to be I knew this was one of those situations I could not trust to eye balling. Too many variables with the setup and I also wanted to see how everything worked with the system. Luckily the owner Alex was only 8 hours north of me in Portland. With a few wheels on hand that fit the GT500 I decided what the hell. Loaded up 6 wheels/tires into my F150 Lightning and hit the road.
.
The bagged system operates interestingly. Dancing around the fender liners takes some care. Sidewall profiles matter with only millimeters of clearance. Playing with the wheels and spacers allowed us to dial in the fitment needed, make adjustments to the ride height, and identify potential camber changes for the final form.
.
Signature Wheel Precision Series SV705 in Sahara Brushed Sand are up front and Track Series SV502 in Racing Red out back. Tomorrow I will have some more pictures of the complete setup we used for testing. Soon we should have the final wheel design and color decided, but trip out on these for now.

Very cool and AGAIN going over and above for aftermarket customer service.
I’d definitely like to rock a pair of your wheels eventually T.
Customer keeping the red calipers?

As I have gotten older, and realizing that the "car guy" world is getting smaller, as most millennials, and others just dont give a crap about cars, this allows me to keep an open mind, and a "nod" to the craftsmanship for car modification.

However this vehicle, does not fall in line with my personal tastes, but appreciate the effort that has gone into it.

Wheels look horrible, as in different colors front and rear. Design = nice. A bagged GT-500 is a 'NO' for me. I will say it gets your visual attention. I'm just not a fan.

Not a fan of the miss matched wheels or bagged look, but now that I’ve read the post I see it’s just test fitting so maybe a more uniform look pulls it together

I admire the innovation, but don’t like the look, nor the thought of decreased handling capabilities.

Needs spinners and curb feelers, and maybe put the front end up in the air and have the tail dragging. Then it would go from being ghetto fabulous to fit for a king.
Wheels look nice, if they were another color, but that GT500. Bagged, clears, and that green,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
