ShelbyDude Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 So how did someone get their hands on a set of 4 brand new rims for the KR to sell on ebay???? I thought SAI was the only source to get these through and no one can get them unless they own a KR and have proof of that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder when we see the first real KR hood that "will never be sold to the public"?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastersmech1 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I would entertain bidding on these except they don't look brand shiny new and if you review the sellers feedback, he has a tendancy to be indignant and treat buyers with disrespect if he gets negative feedback rather than just rectifying the issue.

ShelbyDude Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I question if those are authentic KR Wheels? I wonder if they got some alcoa wheels and then had the lettering stamped in the rim afterwards? Is that easy to have done? Look close at the wheels here on the real KR and them compare it to the pics of the wheels on ebay. Here is the real KR Wheels Notice how the letters are stamped. At the bottom to the left side of the valve stem it says SHELBY and to the right FORGED. Then directly dead center it has GT500KR stamped in which is upside down. Now look at the ones on ebay. The spokes appear fatter and shorter. It has the same lettering stamped on each side of the valve stem hole. But look above that. It doesn't have the same pattern as the real KR shows. Instead of the GT500KR being directly above that centered, it shows SHELBY to the left and then GT500KR to the right and they are upside right instead of upside down like it shows on the real KR. What do you all think??? FAKES?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venix Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yep, look fake to me, mainly because of the discrepancies with the writing as you could explain the thicker spokes due to the fact they're 18's and the KR in the pic has 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Look at where the spokes meet the rim...VERY different. Bad knock offs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT0701 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 They look real to me. The Prototype KR has 20" SuperSnake wheels. Here are some photos of the real 18"s next to the 20"s.

montgt500ss Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 But why would you want to put these wheels on your GT 500 unless you are making a KR Clone? I would rather have the Super Snake 20" wheels that will come with the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloning is the process of making an identical copy of something, putting a set of wheels 18" Alcoa wheels is far from cloning, even if the said KR on them.
