Mustangcollector Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have a serious question for folks here, because I think others are in the same dilemma. I love these KR-specific center caps, but I don't have any 20" wheels (yet). I couldn't afford to buy the wheels Jer worked hard to get for everyone, but in the next year that could be possible. I can, however, afford $149 for the KR center caps and I do not want to miss out on this KR-specific item since I figure it is in short quantity. My question is this...should I buy the center caps now, before they disappear, thinking that I can get a set of 20" Alcoas in the future when I have the money for them? Or, is this a non-starter since the 20" wheels won't be available ever again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheppd01 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 There will always be wheels that could be found on EBay and other sites. The problem with that is the price will only rise as time goes on. I say buy the caps and get the wheels when you can. After December there might be a few wheels available from SPP, but once available they will be gone in a flash. You would have to be quick. You could also just by new black 18" KR rims and for less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The future will look after itself. If you buy 20's down the road and they have caps, sell them to a nice KR owner who missed out and make a little extra jingle. It's usually this little stuff that becomes difficult to find down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZD263 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Just placed my order yesterday for these; I already ordered the shifter knob and billet fuel door the day before. Thanks Jer for making these happen for KR owners! Now the only item that would be missing for me would be the engraved brake fluid reservoir cover that matches the fuse box cover. Hoping these are brought back soon for both '08 and '09 owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbypt Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'm in for the center caps!! I'll call tomorrow. I posted this in the parts section earlier. The master cylinder cover was made for the smaller of the two master cylinders. If you have an early 08, the master cylinder was larger and this cover would not fit on it. I had bought the first one, it was sitting on a tool box at the Shelby store during the 11 Shelby bash. First, they didn't want to sell it, but they did. When I found out that it didn't fit, I told Robert and then sent it back. At the time, we didn't even realize there were two different size master cylinders.

08KR525 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I followed up with this a couple a months ago first with SPP then the gift shop and then the mod center and no one knew what I was talking about or seemed interested in finding out. Hopefully with Jer on board at SPP these could be offered. They are identical to the ones offered by Moroso, but were engraved with the KR logo like the fuse box covers as others have posted. Moroso offers both master cylinder styles so I know all SPP would have to do is get with the manufacturer and whomever engraves these. I think they would be a hit for the SS, SGT and other models as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one thing I want to communicate to Shelby owners: I'M ONE OF YOU. Shelby hired me knowing full well that I intended to create the environment *I* wanted as a Shelby owner, and John Luft has supported me 100% from the beginning. The fun has only just begun!
