Are you sure Shelby recommends 285's on the rear for the Alcoas? When I called them a few weeks back on of thier sales reps said Shelby recommended 275's on the rear with the 20's. He said any bigger and it may rub, especially on a lowered vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blown9350lx Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I just got an email saying my Alcoas were shipped. When I called to verify they said they had some in stock so now is a good time to get a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastersmech1 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I got mine in yesterday. Went to mount the sensors today so I could take them to get the tires mounted when I noticed milling flaws on two of the rims. SPP is supposed to send two new ones out today. They wanted pictures to send to the Alcoa rep so that they can pick them up and get new ones out. I only had my camera phone. The pictures don't fully show the issues. They look like a milling process gone bad. Enrique at SPP seems to be very helpful so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine and they are all perfect. The only thing I think that looks cheap is the center cap. I was wondering if anyone was able to use the SVT center caps.

Since the wheels don't come with any, the only option appears to be the plastic ones SPP sells for $125/ set... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastersmech1 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 that really sucks MM here's a thought....... real camera + center console = better pictures........... I don't care about the pictures. I think it sucks that they even wanted pictures and I don't know why they are waiting to hear from Alcoa. I didn't buy the wheels from Alcoa and it's obvious from my cheesy pics that its a flaw. They are messing up my track time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastersmech1 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 This is the latest correspondence from SPP. When I called to find out what it means, they said they will gladly send for a pickup and refund my money. Well that's just what I wanted. That's why I ordered them in the first place, so I could be inconvenienced and hold them for a week and send them back. They didn't have any and didn't seem to want to check on when they would. All of the BS that I have heard about SPP has been validated. That's my last failed order with them. Enrique was very polite, but was unable to offer any other resolution than to accept a return. John, This is the response I got from our rep at Alcoa. I took their name and email out since we can't give that information out. I'm sorry but we do not have these in stock anymore. Enrique J.

Trinidad Shelby Performance Parts (702) 853-2068 That's a pretty ridiculous response. "we do not have these in stock anymore." What does that mean? Did they stop making them? SPP can't put you on backorder for a new set? SPP seriously needs to evaluate their operations. If I was running SPP, this kind of performance would be unacceptable.

mastersmech1 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I boxed them up and told them to come get them. They had no solution and didn't offer to get me the corrected rims. Only that they didn't have any more. They can come and get them and the crappy, plastic, $125 hub caps. Shelby Performance Parts has provided crappy customer service and I will spend my money elsewhere from now on. I think they could have had Alcoa drop ship me two in there next shipment, but that wasn't offered. They can drag their feet as long as they want. I just put the purchase in dispute with my credit card company until my card is credited the full amount. Buy at your own risk. I knew better, I've heard the horror stories.

blown9350lx Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Well I installed them yesterday and all I can say is wow they look sweet.
