[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 15864587, member: 131874"] Oh boy! Two questions in one! The question about wheels that fit the R, "yes" and the wheel suppliers will be all over this post looking to supply your needs. The second question is more subtle. The OEM wheel studs on the "R" are a LOT LONGER than the wheel studs on the regular GT350. The fronts are over 3" long and the rear just a bit shorter. That's because the OEM CF rims are very thick in the middle where they bolt to the hubs. I am only aware of one brand of aftermarket aluminum rims that are thick enough in the middle that they will go over the OEM "R" studs and allow the use of the factory lug nuts. All the other ones that I've encountered are thinner at the wheel center (like regular aluminum rims) and these will require you to use open-ended lug nuts leaving a length of uncovered wheel stud exposed. So, when the wheel suppliers all descend on your post, keep the lug nut thing in mind. I don't think the company that makes the thick center rims advertises on this site, so I won't name them. Do a search on this and a few more GT350 sites and you'll find them. [/QUOTE]
