General
Quick answers to the most common questions about Project 6GR wheels, our manufacturing process, and what sets us apart in the aftermarket wheel industry.
We specialize exclusively in application-specific fitments with a primary focus on Ford Mustang platforms. Every wheel we produce is JWL, VIA, and JAWA certified, whether it's our Spun Forged (flow formed) or fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum construction. Our wheels are engineered to be hub-centric and TPMS compatible right out of the box, eliminating the guesswork and modification that often comes with aftermarket wheels. We don't chase trends or make wheels for every car on the road. Instead, we perfect fitments for specific platforms.
Spun Forged wheels use a flow forming process that stretches and compresses the barrel under high pressure and heat, creating a lighter and stronger wheel than traditional cast construction. Our fully forged wheels take it further by starting with a solid billet of 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum, offering maximum weight savings, superior strength, and complete customization flexibility for diameter, width, and offset. Both options deliver excellent performance and meaningful weight reduction over stock wheels.
If you want performance gains with ready-to-ship availability and proven fitments, our Spun Forged wheels are your answer. They're designed for direct bolt-on installation with popular Mustang configurations and cost between $2,060 to $3,680 depending on size. If you need custom specifications for a unique setup, track-focused build, or simply want the lightest possible wheel with maximum strength, our fully forged options give you that flexibility with a 6-8 week lead time.
While Ford Mustangs are our core focus and where we've developed the most comprehensive fitment library, we do produce fully forged custom wheels for other platforms including Audi, BMW, Chevrolet Corvette, Dodge and more. These are typically custom orders with tailored specifications to match your specific vehicle and performance goals.
Yes, every wheel we make is designed to be hub-centric for its intended application. This means the center bore matches your vehicle's hub diameter precisely, ensuring proper centering and eliminating vibration issues that can occur with lug-centric designs. You won't need hub rings or adapters for correct fitment.
Absolutely. While you can order directly from our website, we work with a network of authorized dealers including Galpin Auto Sports and Need 4 Speed Motorsports. Visit our Dealer Locator page to find an authorized retailer near you who can assist with fitment advice and installation.
Wheel Fitment & Compatibility
Understanding fitment ensures your wheels install correctly and perform as intended. Here’s what you need to know about sizing, clearance, and vehicle compatibility.
Each wheel on our website includes detailed fitment specifications for compatible Mustang generations and configurations. We list the specific chassis codes (S197, S550, S650, GT350, GT500) along with diameter, width, offset, and brake clearance information. If you're running aftermarket brakes or suspension, reach out to us before ordering to confirm clearance.
Most of our Mustang-specific wheels are designed to clear popular big brake kits, but clearance depends on your exact setup. Check the product page for brake clearance specifications, or contact us with your brake kit details. We can verify fitment before you order to avoid any surprises.
Yes, all our wheels are designed to work with OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors without modification. You can transfer your existing sensors or install new ones during mounting. The valve stem hole accommodates standard TPMS hardware.
Most of our Mustang applications support staggered setups with narrower wheels up front and wider wheels in the rear. This is common for performance applications and improved traction. Check individual wheel listings for recommended staggered combinations, or we can help you spec the right setup for your goals.
No, our wheels are engineered with proper offsets and hub-centric designs for direct installation on their intended applications. You shouldn't need spacers unless you're trying to achieve a specific aggressive stance or compensate for suspension modifications. If you're considering spacers, contact us first to discuss your setup.
Lowering your car can affect wheel and tire clearance, particularly in the fender wells and against suspension components. While our wheels are designed with proper offsets for stock and mildly modified suspensions, extreme drops may require different tire sizing or minor fender modifications. Let us know your suspension setup so we can recommend the best configuration.
Tire Sizing & Compatibility
Matching the right tire to your wheels ensures proper performance, handling, and appearance. Use our fitment guides and product pages for specific recommendations.
Recommended tire sizes are listed on each wheel's product page and in our fitment guides. These recommendations account for proper fitment, performance characteristics, and clearance on your specific vehicle. Tire width should generally match your wheel width within accepted sizing parameters.
While there's some flexibility in tire sizing, straying too far from our recommendations can cause clearance issues, speedometer inaccuracy, or poor handling characteristics. If you want to run a non-standard tire size for a specific reason, contact us first. We can tell you if it'll work with your wheel and vehicle combination.
Tire recommendations are available in three places: our fitment guides, individual product pages for each wheel design, and our gallery section where you can see real-world setups. These resources show you what works and what other enthusiasts are running successfully.
Yes, lowering your car reduces the gap between your tire and fender as well as suspension components. Even if the wheel fits properly, a tire that's too tall or wide can rub during compression or turning. Check our recommended tire sizes for lowered applications, or reach out with your specific suspension setup.
This depends on your wheel setup and driving style. Staggered tire sizes (narrower front, wider rear) complement staggered wheel fitments and can improve traction for rear-wheel-drive Mustangs. Square setups offer more predictable handling and the ability to rotate tires. Review your wheel specifications and intended use to determine what works best.
Wheel Quality & Safety
Safety and quality aren’t negotiable. Here’s how we ensure every wheel meets strict standards for street and track use.
All our wheels are JWL, VIA, and JAWA certified, meeting or exceeding international safety standards for structural integrity and performance. Both our Spun Forged and fully forged wheels undergo rigorous testing for real-world conditions including street driving, track use, and extreme loads. These certifications verify that our wheels are safe for their intended applications.
These are industry-recognized safety certifications. JWL (Japanese Light Alloy Wheel) tests structural strength and durability. VIA (Vehicle Inspection Association) verifies dimensional accuracy and material quality. JAWA (Japan Automobile Wheel Accreditation) ensures wheels meet strict performance standards. Having all three certifications means our wheels have passed comprehensive testing for safety and reliability. Learn more on our Wheel Safety page.
Weight savings vary by wheel design and size, but you can expect meaningful reductions with both our Spun Forged and fully forged options. Spun Forged wheels typically save several pounds per corner compared to OEM cast wheels. Fully forged wheels offer even greater weight savings due to the manufacturing process and material optimization. Specific weights are listed on individual product pages.
Our wheels are engineered to meet or exceed OEM load requirements for their intended applications. Specific load ratings vary by design and size, but all wheels are tested to handle the demands of performance driving. If you have questions about load capacity for a specific application or use case, we can provide detailed specifications.
Absolutely. Our wheels are designed with performance in mind, from material selection to structural testing. Many of our customers use our wheels for track days, autocross, and competitive driving. The combination of lightweight construction, proper load ratings, and safety certifications makes them suitable for demanding conditions.
Customization & Finish Options
Personalize your wheels to match your vision. We offer custom finishing and specifications for truly unique builds.
We offer a range of finishes including various powder coat colors, brushed, polished, and custom options. Available finishes can vary by wheel design and construction type. Standard finishes are listed on each product page, but if you want something specific to match your build or personal style, we can discuss custom finishing options.
Yes, our fully forged wheels offer complete customization for diameter, width, and offset. This allows you to dial in the exact fitment for your vehicle, whether you're building for show, performance, or both. Custom specifications typically require a 6-8 week lead time. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and we'll engineer the perfect setup.
Custom finishing adds time to production since each wheel is finished to your specifications. For Spun Forged wheels with custom finishes, expect additional lead time beyond our standard inventory. Fully forged wheels with custom finishes follow the standard 6-8 week timeline since they're already built to order.
Yes, two-piece construction allows for different finishes on the face and barrel, creating unique color combinations. This is popular for builds where you want contrast or color-matched elements. Discuss your vision with us and we'll work out the details.

Maintenance & Care
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your wheels. Follow these guidelines to keep them looking and performing their best.
Use a pH-neutral wheel cleaner and soft microfiber towels or brushes designed for wheels. Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or abrasive materials that can damage the finish. Clean your wheels regularly to prevent brake dust buildup, which can become harder to remove over time and potentially damage certain finishes. Learn more on our wheel care and maintenance page.
While our wheels can withstand automatic car washes, we recommend hand washing for the best results and finish longevity. Automatic car wash brushes can be abrasive and some cleaning chemicals may be too harsh for certain finishes. If you do use automatic washes, choose touchless options when possible.
Regular cleaning is the best prevention. Brake dust bonds to wheel surfaces over time, especially with heat, making it progressively harder to remove. Clean your wheels weekly or after spirited driving. Some enthusiasts apply wheel sealants or ceramic coatings to make cleaning easier and provide additional protection.
Never use steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemicals like oven cleaner or wheel acid on your wheels. Avoid pressure washers at close range, which can damage finishes. Don't clean wheels while they're hot from driving. Let them cool down first to prevent cleaning products from etching the surface.
Depending on your finish type, protective coatings can help maintain appearance and make cleaning easier. Waxes, sealants, and ceramic coatings designed for wheels offer varying levels of protection. If you're unsure what's safe for your specific finish, contact us before applying any products.
Road salt is corrosive and can damage wheel finishes over time. If you drive in winter conditions, clean your wheels more frequently to remove salt and chemical residue. Consider a protective coating before winter and inspect your wheels regularly for any finish degradation.
