Signature SV501 wheels



I just received my forged Signature SV501 wheels in gloss Gunmetal, and had a new set of MPSC2 ZP tyres placed on them to get ready for my next track day. They really are a fantastic wheel and extremely reasonably priced for a fully forged wheel. Fronts weigh 20 lbs and the rears 22lbs. I had them made in the OEM sizing/offset.

If you are in the market for a second set of wheels I can't recommend these enough, and John Gaydos at Autoquest was fantastic to deal with. Only took three weeks to get them!

Here's a couple of pix until I get them on the car.

Is this the same John Gaydos that works/worked at Fabspeed Motorsport?

Bish,

What are the advantages of these wheels over the stock ones? Will you run these all the time (daily) or for track use only? They look fairly similar to the stock ones you have - if I'm not mistaken.

I’m not sure tbh. All I know is that John got me these wheels and helped me with the choice, and got me a set of OEM CCM brake pads for a great price in about two weeks. He’s highly recommended in my book! lol

So I always have a dedicated set of track wheels/tyres so that I can put them on to drive to the track and remove them after the weekend is done.

I tried to find a set of OEM Titanium wheels but wasn’t able to, and the price new is ridiculous, so one advantage is that these SV501s are much cheaper than a new set of OEM wheels, and much cheaper than something like a set of HRE’s, etc.

They are very light, and I suspect they’re lighter than the OEM wheels, so there’s another advantage.

They are are quite similar to the OEM Titanium wheels in their looks, just a darker ‘grey’.

Bish,
How much are your stock wheels from MB? I'm sure you probably checked. It had to be sticker shock I'm sure.

With a discount I think the Titanium wheels were going to be about $8K.
