Bam! If our wheels have shipped should we expect a tracking number(s)?

So who's ready for their new shoes ?

Wheels are in and we have already gotten 10 sets going to their new homes same day turn around.

More going out tomorrow.

Feel free to call me directly to complete all paperwork if I have not reached you just yet.

I will be calling people as well.
We're setting something up for the local guys, right? I'm hoping to transfer existing tires over to the R-specs, then upgrade my tires to the correct sizes once I burn through these :thumbsup:

Looking for actual WEIGHTS on the R-Spec production wheels. It's the only thing I am waiting on before I purchase and the reason I did not pre-buy. If they are too heavy, I'm out and will go with some Finspeed's instead.

I love the look of the R wheels, but I don't want to destroy the hard work Ford did tuning the R suspension with heavy wheels.

I'm just going to hazard a guess that if the weights were a surprise to the up side they would have been posted by now. That said the difference for non R owners will still likely be pretty good however with the expectations seemingly creeping from 24-26 pounds I'm now expecting at least 26. I have read anything from 31 to 33 pounds for the stockers. Assuming worst case the stocks are 31, these are 27, its only 4ish pounds lighter. Just being realistic. Best case the stockers are at 33, these come in at 25ish, 8 pounds difference. Are the R rims like 18-19? Would it also depend on what percentage of the weight was further from the centerline?

Yup, my guess is you're about spot on with your assumptions.

correct

Would a bronze similar to the "Bronze Burst" on Forgestar F-14s or the Matte Bronze on a TE37 be available for these wheels?
We can do any finish you want

So, you're saying the larger width wheels weigh LESS than the smaller width wheels?

Correct sir.

The reason to this is the offset so the ET 24 has a larger backpad thus additional weight for the front.

The rear has a higher offset ET 56 so the pad is smaller ( flat) thus less weight.
