The new CS-40's should be arriving the week of August 12. Great looking wheel. Take a look at the photo's below. Also, they will be making a Special Edition CS-69 wheel in honor of Carroll's 85th. Anticipated release will be about 8 weeks. The celebration continues: It will have the CShelby logo engraved in the outer lip and the finish will be black with Chrome lips and spokes.

mikewheels Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I always thought that's how they should have looked in the first place. Original Magnums were chrome/black. Oh well, I still like mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have clearance for big brakes. On the car it is a GT with a 3D Carbon body kit. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVTpower Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I think the CS40s only come in 20" You're not getting rid of yours are you?? Love yours and my opinion much nicer..........I believe I saw them in person at the 85th bash. Like another posted, top ones look like Racelines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500-07 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 drop the fake rivets and make them in 18" silver finish Racelines dropped the silver finish but are available in 18" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 The 18" size is not available. That does not mean there will not be made available. Supply and demand. Now I would think if this wheel was 18" and cleared the big brake kits, how many would purchase? I did get some clearification on the center cap. Only "blue" on the Special Edition wheels.

Love yours and my opinion much nicer..........I believe I saw them in person at the 85th bash. Like another posted, top ones look like Racelines Unfortunately, I had to return my American Racing GT40 wheels. I had issues with a leak and wheel rivet failing. American Racing's poor customer service over three months of trying to get the wheel repaired drove me to the point I didn't want their product on my car. Also, they couldn't/wouldn't tell me why the bolt failed. How was I to know it wouldn't fail again. The wheels had less then 4000 miles on them. The design was bought from Raceline. According to the guys at CS Wheels, the faux bolts were added after Mr. Shelby's input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Personally, if the wheels are 1-piece, I woudn't want the rivet look. The 69's are cool, though. Are the 69's available in 18"? I would have waited if I'd known... Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yes the CS69 are available in 18" and the 18" is supposed to fit over big brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
