1965coupe Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 EDIT: PICTURES BELOW!!!!! I am going to go pick up a set of CS40s - 2) 20x9s and 2) 20x10s - silver centers. About half of what they would cost on eBay. What do you think? What should be on the boxes as far as location of assembly? If they go on the SGT (or any new Mustang), what should the backspacing be? They have "Shelby" stamped on the rim, and red center caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 less than 1/2 price. killer deal if they are nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965coupe Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 less than 1/2 price. killer deal if they are nice! Supposedly they are new.. They don't have tires on them, and they probably don't have TPSs.. The pictures show the 'Carrol Shelby' tags.. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 That is a killer price. In fact a little too good. Are you making the purchase in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young768 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Is $450 per wheel or for the entire set? I would be skeptical if this is the price for the whole set. Are they new or used? The Chrome wheel from Shelby starts at $469. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy works at a wheel shop - these were oordered and not installed because there are little defects in the powder coating (you have to REALLY look hard to find them.)

I have back-ups with me when I buy car parts in person. I sold an '08 super duty tailgate to a guy on the way to get the rims - GHETTO neighborhood - so I backed my truck in so I could get out of there quickly.

1965coupe Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Here you are folks! Pictures! I don't want to be the disheartened customer on Pawn Starts (google it) who finds out their item isn't real. So.. these are real, right? BTW: Droid pictures - they aren't so great. I just noticed the 'Patent Pending' on the box.. Is that for the wheel? Or? The casting process? I've heard of "reinventing the wheel," but I've never heard of, "re-patenting the wheel." *Note the Shelby sticker on the back window. Just doing my part. :D * *** **** ***** Drum roll, please.. I've got to be honest.. the engraving here is a little 'rough' - is that normal? So... Are these real? Or knock-offs? As for tires, what am I looking to spend (approximately)? I've yet to venture into the world of 20" rims. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbytexan Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have the same wheels. I get nothing but compliments on the wheels. You will notice the silver wheels will bring out the silver stripes on the car. As for wheels, you can expect to spend about 1000.00 to 1200.00 for four good tires. Good luck on the improvements.

Awesome! I do like them. I might consider painting the silver accents black.. we'll see. I've been looking at a few tires at Tirerack.. I'll avoid Kuhmo and Hankook.. I usually stick with BFGs or Michelins.. what about Continentals/Firestone - some darn good prices on those. Will the factory lugnuts work on these rims?

jmn444 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 They are clearly fakes, but I will still buy them off you for $450 as I hate to see someone get taken advantage of like that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the factory lugnuts work on these rims? Don't be too quick to bypass Hankook! The Ventus V12 Evo K110s are awesome tires. Probably the best combo of ride, handling and cost - Car and Driver agrees with me. Ranked them second to Michelin PS2s. check - www.onlinetires.com - great prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because you're so honest, just get them out of my way - I'll take a hit - you can have them for $300." :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965coupe Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Awesome, thanks everyone for the replies! So now I'm contemplating.. do I get the Alcoas (the ones I really wanted), or do I keep these because they were such a bargain? A) Look at my Alcoas - they were a couple of grand, plus tires, but they look awesome. B.) Look at my CS40s - I got these for $450. Jealous? Which would make me less of a snob?

08sgt1042 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 No matter at that price you couldn't go wrong been looking at these for my 08sgt, Pictures when mounted or any pictures on a shelby...like to see what they llok like on the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry T Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have some TPS sensors and bands that I do not need, PM me and I am sure we can work something out ..... great price for a nice looking wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen a picture of the silver ones on a black Shelby - seems like most people are getting the black accented spokes. Worst case.. I'll wait until the Knott's show in April to see them on a car in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08sgt1042 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm gonna pull the trigger on a set and live with them anything is better that the stock set, I can't stand them no way to make them pop......we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2BIGFRED Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 On my new 20s i went with those new Good Year F1 high Performace tires and spent about $1500-$1600 I think. I will check later the exact name but I done research on them and all research says they are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have too many other toys to play with so it's hard to allocate so much money for one modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
