Jeff’S Shelby GT350 Track Build Featuring 19″ EC-7 Wheels
Our customer Jeff Ashton (@thejeffashton) has been preparing his Lightning Blue 2017 Shelby GT350 for his next track day. Jeff has done a handful of modifications so far and chats about it on his Youtube Channel here (https://www.youtube.com/embed/jeffashton). This car features a Watson 4-Point Roll Bar, Recaro Seats, Schroth Harness and newly added 19″ EC-7 track wheels. These wheels are significantly lighter than the factory GT350 wheels and is a rotatable square setup featuring 11″ wide wheels wrapped in RE-71R tires at all corners. With plenty of clearance for the OEM Brembo brake setup, this GT350 is ready for its next track day.

Cory has been Domestic Fitment Expert at APEX since 2018, helping owners figure out the proper wheel fitments for their Camaro, Corvette, Mustang, Challenger, Charger, Cadillac, and Tesla vehicles. Prior to joining APEX, he worked as Service Advisor at an automotive performance shop. Never one to sit at a car show, Cory has had a lifelong passion for performance driving. His extensive track experience began with HPDEs in 2015. He soon got the itch to start competing in time trials, which he has been doing ever since. Among the cars he has tracked are three Mustang GTs (2005, 2006, 2011), a 2016 Fiesta ST, and his current ride, a 2010 Corvette Grand Sport with APEX SM-10RS wheels. Fun Fact: Apparently Cory’s love of speed isn’t limited to the racetrack; after not training at all, he recently ran a 5K and placed 7th out of 210 competitors.
