Thanks COYOTEHP! Since its black its hard to tell on all the pictures if the black is on the whole wheel or if the dish is just in shadow (also the rim description just says black accent). I know the orange ones on the 302 LS only has orange on the first 1.5" (it can be seen in the picture below). IMO it would be way to much orange to paint the whole wheel orange, but for black I would want the whole wheel black with just the machined face.

Where did you order yours from? I saw blue oval has the full set for $949, just have to buy black center-caps for them. Also, did you buy replacement TMPS sensors? If you don't will the low pressure warning light always be on in the dash? Thanks.

I bought them from late model and I got new tpms from another vender but late model had them as well. I used my center caps from my gt/cs rims. I also went staggered with 255/45/19 for the front and 285/40/19 for the rears. Hope this helps.

I have a photo from another thread that shows the entire 302S wheel is black except for the front. Did you use 55 profile tires on the front or is that a typo? The Boss usese 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 tires.

Thats in our shop! We put those wheels on to help sell the car.

Yes typo i have 255/45/19 in front. I don't plan on lowering the car and I wanted to keep as much meat on the tire as close to stock.

Someone from your shop posted a thread on SVT about the 302S wheels.

Wow I'm surprised they are that heavy and that they are using cast wheels on the 302S track car. You would think they would go for a stronger, lighter forged wheel on a performance car like that.

I saw where it said machined but both cast and forged wheels can be machined for the finish. These have the machined finish for the front face so when they say "machined" it isn't necessarily alluding to how they were made and I didn't see anywhere that it actually said "cast" or "forged".

Those weights are just ridiculous. I want to say the 19x9s and 19x10s on my 370Z were around 21-22lbs each. No reason Ford couldn't have put some light weight stuff on their top model cars.

Though I believe the GT500 SVTPP wheels are forged and under 25lbs.
