shelbymotorsports Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Looks like someone is hoping for a record setting price for a set of wheels. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Original-SHELBY-Real-SUPER-SNAKE-Alcoa-4-Wheels-Set-Orig-Raised-Center-Caps-/370890583794?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item565acd2ef2&vxp=mtr#ht_953wt_903 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperNC Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Two fools born a minute and one of them has money.... of which they are soon parted.

07SGT Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Jer, what would have been the price for these wheels/center caps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pockdog Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Help me understand... How rare are these wheels? They looked to be 20" Alcoa wheels with "SHELBY", "SUPER", "SNAKE", and "FORGED" engraved into the bead edge (as different from the KR engraved versions). The eBay poster states that the wheels he's offering no longer come equipped on current SuperSnakes, if true, what wheels do come on current SuperSnakes (and how are they different from what he's selling?) -Pockdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Jer, what would have been the price for these wheels/center caps? $1919.18 plus shipping and any applicable tax. Only available to Super Snake owners. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnf Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Did he at least give you some lube with the $1919.18?? Or did you get screwed dry. Sorry, that is just wrong on every level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never raised the price on SS wheels, as they were never a retail product, only in stock for SS owners. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnf Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Jer, I know the drill on the wheels. And my comment was on your side. As for pricing the SS wheels and keeping them on hand for current SS owners; great job. Not too many companies around who will do that. As for the the getting screwed and lube part,,,, fill in the blanks my friend. Sounds like that person raped you and is looking to rape someone else to flip a large profit on your kindness.

patrickshelby Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 That kind of problem would never happen if an exchange program would be in place for special parts. Send the damaged one, will send you the replacement... Easy. Some companies do it and they have no clone or speculation issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbsFaris Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I offered him a hundred bucks for the set. Then I told him to hurry up and sell them, because I heard Ford was gonna sell all of their stock REALLY cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I would ban him and never let him receive help from SAI for any car issues. Why? Because he's partaking in good ole American ingenuity and free enterprise by trying to sell HIS wheels, that HE paid for...At a profit? If the *seller* is somehow to blame...Where does that leave Shelby American and Jer? THEY sold him the wheels, also at a profit. They are HIS to do as he sees fit to do. So if the seller should be banned and refused help from Shelby American, do you think Jer should be banned too? Sheesh, Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh, Phill Phill, My problem with this guy is that he makes it harder for the rest of us honest people to get parts when we really need them. Obviously this guy pulled the wool over Jer's eyes to get a deal on these wheels. I'm guessing quite dishoneslty. This is not American Ingenuity to me. Just plain deceitful. I don't know the story of how he got these wheels, but trying to make a profit based on being dishonest is not cool to me and makes it hard for folks who are real and in a real need. It would be nice for this seller to come on here and defend his sale and how he talked Jer out of these wheels, but obviously that is not going to happen.
