ilmor Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Looks good! Is this for racing / track? If so are you looking at the lightest possible wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT/SC#0471 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Well no, I am not racing my car on any even near consistent basis, its my daily driver (7k miles a year). The reality is that while the racing wheels are great (and spendy) I am not using this car as a race car. And I really really like the stock bullets on the SGT. I had autocrossed it several times in the past, but not with the S/C. I would most likley get a dedicated track car (no worries, no compromises) if I was going to go roadracing for real. Occasionally it would be nice to track day it or go for time only or ? class in autocross, as F-Stock is out now due to the S/C install. I made the decision after a few autocrosses that a dedeicated season of racing is out as we spend a lot of time on our boat when the weather is good, it is my priority. These wheels weigh about the same as the GT500 factory wheels 34lbs...as best as I can tell. I will weigh the car before and after the brakes and wheels install... I think it kinda keeps the stock bullet wheel look of the SGT while enabling the brakes and wider tires to fit. As a bonus...So far I am into this setup $1200 without tires including shipping... :happy feet: Or about as much as 1 racing wheel that weighs 20lbs... If centerline would get a wheel for the GT5oo I would run one of those, I am not into wheel spacers on my applcation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 So are you still going to paint your brake calipers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahmann Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I typically don't like Steeda wheels at all, but these look pretty sharp to me. How wide are they? Do you have any photos installed yet? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I didn't know Steeda made a wheel that looked like this. It looks like a wheel from Saleen. Either way, very slick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT/SC#0471 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Um yeah my bad I am not so smart I do have a SHELBY though haha...they are saleen heritage wheels 19x9 and 19x10. I will post just as soon as I get some rubber on these... :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I do have a SHELBY though I'd start to wonder after this, except I saw the CSM tag myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 You have got me looking on eBay for a set. I wonder if the 18" Saleen racecraft wheels fit over big brakes. The racecraft wheel look a lot like the SGT wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT/SC#0471 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Haha well I think you had to remind me that it was a Shelby once or twice at Grabbers... Yeah I do not know if the 18's fit bigger brakes but the 19's do for sure I came across a picture of a car with Brembos and these wheels and for the price and size (I like 19's on Mustangs) I was all in...now if I get a brake in the action I can get some tires...

SGT-C0056 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I have 18" S1 Wheels. Will be putting on the big brakes (brembo) from a GT500. I need a 1/2 spacer to get the caliper clearence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
