bchorney Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Robert: How has the sale of the Alcoas been since they hit the Shelby Store in January? I may be beating a dead horse here, but I want to ask the question anyway. Is there any chance the Alcoa Super Snake Wheels will be produced in 20" x 11"?

Cheers Brett I would buy the normal non-SS stamped wheels in 11 since I don't have a SuperSnake. I'm sure others would as well. As it stands now, I will have to send them to Weldcraft to get widened when I buy a set. I'd rather pay a little more and buy them direct. Can't be that hard to make this happen.

breoland Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 only reason i have not bought a set yet is for the extra money needed to have them widen really hope shelby comes out with them in 20x11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelTownStang Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 It appears that the 11"s were cancelled.

bchorney Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I ask the question to see how many people are interested. My grandpappy always said that you don't get what you don't ask for!!! At the end of the day, I would hate to go throught the extra time and cost to buy a set of 10" and have them cut and widened if we could get them from the factory. So please make these and I will buy! Best would be Super Snake rims I can trade my 10" ones for, second best, I would just take a set of 11" without Super Snake on them. I had a blast at the track last night, but it sure was slippery over the first half of the track. Cheers Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 DSG Snake Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'd get in on a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY500SS Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'd prefer with "Super Snake" on the wheel, but would settle for without just to get the 11's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody81 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm the only jerk that voted no so far. I do want wider rims, I'm just greedy. I want 11.75 wide rims so I can get maximum tire width. I'll probably end up buying two 10x20 without the SS logo and send them out to get widened. I'm just not sure weather I'll get more traction with Toyo 315's or Michellin 335's. That will be my deciding factor. I'm still sitting on the fence and watching to see which is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportscars Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Didn't Cobra Scotty post a thread on this a while back. I thought he said Shelby would do it if they could get 100 orders. Thats what I think I remember, anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandros Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I would buy , but with Super Snake on the wheels.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Here is what I found out. The tooling costs, combined with the minimum run of 4,000 pieces is too prohibitive for Shelby to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I could say more, but let's not go there. Too bad they weren't in the build from the start. They would have been well on their way to 4,000 units. I guess this leaves us cutting up good 10" units. Cheers Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 315 will still look like the original 275 on 10's...it's exactly .150"(just a tick over an 1/8")... go with the biggest and baddest or go home !!!!
