Imatk Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think the Ferrari comment is interesting. Are we now comparing Mustangs to a Ferrari? That's the point... people with crazy money buy Ferraris not Mustangs generally speaking, but you're right... for the price maybe Shelby is looking to Ferrari-type clientele?

David Hawkins Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 These are very high quality American made Weld/Shelby wheels. BUT, does Weld produce a Wheel that costs $1,000.00 or more each for a Daily Driver Car other than these? I don't remember seeing any in their Catalog.

I don't remember seeing any in their Catalog.Weld sells a wheel that's looks very very similar to the Shelby wheel for $1,550. So I guess the Shelby wheel is a deal. lolEdit Once again Shelby slaps their name on someone else's product and calls it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car dude Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Doesn't true forged make a forged one piece wheel? I know there chicane wheels run about $2800.00 for the GT500 and its a hell of a lot better looking wheel plus you have way more finishes to choose from. And as much as I like them I still can't afford them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05mustangman Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 So it's looking like the 20"x 9.5" will be selling for $1,150 and the 10.5" selling for $1,250. On the Shelby ebay site they are selling a set for $4,950 buy it now price. Which comes out to $1,237 per wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Well I did see on SPP that the 9.5" wheels are $1,150 per and the 10.5" is $1,250 per wheel. Now I didn't see if the price varies from like black or polished wheels. So I think the price only differs on the size of the wheels. With free shipping. How much is shipping on the SPP site? Yea that's true. I don't know how much the shipping could be. Right now it's only pre-order with 50% deposit required. You can imagine how much the shipping would probably be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svtkeith,I totally agree with you,the Alcoas still rock in every way for style and incredible looks. With the looks and price of the new Venice wheel,I believe the Alcoas will become even more iconic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomshep Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I am OK with the looks of these rims. They are similar to the Alcoas to me. If I had a set of Alcoas and Venices in front of me, same money, I would take the Venice due to the extra width and offset. Other opinions vary, to each their own. I would buy a set if it wasn't for the cost. I just can't justify $5K for rims. As I recall, the last Alcoas were $600. That was a few years ago and they were 20x9 left-overs discovered in a warehouse. I was hoping Shelby would charge $800 for these. I am guessing the price structure came from NIB Alcoas selling for around $4K = about $1K per rim. The Venice is a slightly wider version with a better offset. So they bumped the going rate of the Alcoas slightly and that is how the price was determined. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank S Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I don't like 20-inch wheels; they make a good automotive design look like it belongs in a bubble-pak on a peg in W**mart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 It appears on the SPP site it is a preorder and they will ship the wheels when they come in. The EBay listing says nothing about that. From the top of the eBay ad: **This item will ship when the first quantities land the 4th week of November** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Premi Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 The ALCOAs looked better. And they're calling these lightweight at 28.x pounds per. I have a set of 19" el-cheapos at 21.x pounds per. I know these are forged and 20-inchers, but at $1200+ per wheel, I want to see some weights WELL UNDER 20 pounds per wheel! And I'm talking like 15 pounds for that price. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Carroll all about lightweight performance? Why 20" wheels? When will this "bling" and "dubbed out" fad end so performance enthusiasts can buy non-cartoonish looking wheels again?? Lightweight wheels (and tires) make a huge difference you can feel. I know this is going to seem crazy, but with the reduction of nearly 60 pounds of rotating mass (the stock wheels were 35 pounds per), my car "feels" like it's about 200 - 300 pounds lighter with regards to acceleration. No lie or exaggeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy49 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 The Alcoas are 30 & 32 pounds each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07 Black Beauty Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I agree the Alcoas are still the best looking wheels for these cars. Everytime a new wheel comes out I compare them to my Alcoas, I've seen some that I like but not enough to part w/ my Alcoas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
