2019 GT350 Wheel got you intrigued? It definitely sparked my curiosity. About to show you guys how it’s supposed to look. Signature Wheel SV302S 20x11 / 20x11.5 weighing in at 26lbs. Multipiece design with amazing attention to detail. Check those markings on the assembly bolts to ensure they don’t walk on you. Damn do I love sound engineering.

Regrets, we all tend to have them. I am going to share with you my most recent. This is a tale of a set of wheels that came and went before their prime. Sent off to live a life of tracking and fun with Jason Kanarky. I didn’t really appreciate them until they were gone.
In my quest to debut every set of wheels on the GT350 for potential customers I ordered a set of our Signature Wheel Precision Series SV702. Until now they had only been built for Bobby Ramser’s S197 Roush and Greg Hildebrand’s S550. Beautiful cars, however, I wanted to test some new offsets and get technical data for everyone.

This wheel was ordered in the GT350R spec, but with modified offsets to reduce the rear poke, and make the fronts more concave. The new concave profile adds about 1lb to the front. Happy to report no rubbing with the new rear specs, even with the wider tire. The new owner has also tracked them, done burnouts, and driven the Tail of The Dragon without issue.

I finally got around to editing the photos I took and really started to love the look. It rekindled a love for black wheels, but In the end I still like some brighter finishes. May end up ordering another set at some point. Here is the skinny:

Signature Wheel Precision Series SV702

Combined wheel/tire weight 53.14 lbs

Rear Wheel Data

One of my buddies Chris Gonazales is a tinkerer. He owns a tracked out S550 and knows his way round an LED board. He developed some custom rear LED lights to replace the reflectors in the S550 rear valence. Pretty slick when I saw them for the first time, and asked him to build me a set. As far as I know these were the first set to be installed on a car that wasn't his.

The install process took me about 3 hours, but it was because I was being a dunce. The rear valence on the GT350 has some added bracing in the way of removing the one nut that bolts the reflector in place. Once I figured out I could push things around to get my swivel in place the removal was pretty easy. Chris wrote up some instructions based on my experience, and even added heat wrap to block the wires from the exhaust. The only thing you need to remove on the GT350 is the lower diffuser, but that comes off easy enougt.

Here is a short video of them in operation. They work as a running light, brake light, turn signal, and hazard. You can also disconnect certain wires to make them work how you want.

Some updated shots of my GT350R on the SV302S. This is the answer to the OEM 2019 GT350 wheel if that is what you are after. This is a great spec for stock ride height, lowered, street, and track use. You can also see how clean the Exhibitions Of Speed Titanium Lug nuts install with the package. Oh, and this wheel setup is currently for sale :)

Didn't know it really matters what others have done, as long as you build your car for your goals. There's always someone faster.

Exactly. Always trying to one-up somebody who has a faster car is the fast way to go broke and have a car that's in the shop more than it's on the street or actually racing.

Ok, I promise this is the last wheel I am going to order.... this year. Couldn’t resist the 5 spoke and the I-Beam cuts to the side of them.

Something tells me that wheel would look amazing on my GT500. How much does it weigh?

Iron man meets Thanos. For those that didn’t know I picked up a 91 LX hatchback as a development car. Dropped the new Foxbody project off for a little TLC with the guys at Imperial Works I’m Sacramento. Going to see what can be done with the paint from the 90’s . Getting it all cleaned up for the new Signature Wheel SV902 and Griggs Racing suspension.


Just so happened they finished wrapping a Dodge Demon. Makes the Fox look small, but I will admit the Demon has some good road presence.


Couple components from Trackspec Motorsports and Carters Customs on the way too. 2019 should be fun as I plan to test the Foxbody against metrics the R has set. What mods you guys have planned?
