Robert M Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 The Alcoa's are still the best looking/quality Shelby wheel IMO. ^^^I agree. I believe that Alcoa's are the most popular Mustang rim/wheel option since the "Cobra R wheel craze". R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSSNAKE Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I originally bought the KR Alcoa's because I wanted side-wall. The KR F-1 winged boot tires are HARSH on road seams. I get a ton of road noise from them. They "slap" the seams and in CO with snow, our roads have a lot of cracks and seams so they're not a good tire for out here. My OE 19" F1 tires were fine so when the 18's wear out, I'll try the 20's and see if they're any better. If worse comes to worse, I see the 13 Boss 302 has 19" Pirelli P-zero's on it and those would go nice on my OE wheels, then I'll have two sets of Alcoa's up for sale (18" KR's and 20" SS's). If I drop the rear tire pressure in the 18" KR tires to 20psi, they ride GREAT. And, they get GREAT traction. But 20psi is going to wear the sides out too soon. Phill Phill, those 20" Alcoa's will look HORRIBLE on your car! I think you better sell them to me ASAP to preclude certain embarrassment. :lol2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Beyond Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Ditching Alcoas was bad idea. They worked perfectly on the Mustang. It gave them a unique modern and classy look all at the same time. +1 Alcoa & Shelby are leaving alot of money on the table by discontinuing these wheels. The demand for these is huge.

mywickedshelby Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 betcha $10 when I see the new wheels, I will still think the Alcoas are better looking....... sometimes the road to a sales success isnt as hard as some make it out to be...........

Unless they come out with something *super* spectacular and totally original, the Alcoa's can't be beat. I am not at all into 'fads' so I hope it's not some blacked-out multi-piece......wheel.

I agree!! Id buy a black set of the 20's Alcoa's right now if I could. Seems to me another wheel manufacturer would love to team up with Shelby. If Shelby wants to continue success they need to listen to the people that buy this stuff, and from reading this thread there is a huge demand still for the Alcoa's. I simply do not understand why someone from Shelby hasn't chimed in here and given a reason why this line is not possible to continue with a different manufacturer. I say product management is missing something! Im tempted to buy the CS1 wheels but I truly prefer the SS wheels. I want the 20x11 for the rear!
