shelbysnob Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I recently purchased a 2013 GT coupe with the Brembo Brake package. It has the grey 19" wheels. I am not real fond of the wheels and am considering the CS69s in 20" so they'll clear the brakes. I like the retro Magnum 500 look, but wonder if I am going to take grief from real Shelby owners for having Shelby wheels on my car? Also, has anyone seen these wheels in person? How dark is the Hyper Black? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbysnob Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 You can always change the Center Cap. It will still say Shelby on the rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 My Roush has Shelby Razors on it and nobody has given me any crud for that. I think they are the best looking wheel for my set up, so that's what I used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry T Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Make it your own .... That's the best way to own a Mustang or Shelby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtup1 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Your car, your money, what ever makes you feel warm and fuzzy. I think that wheel will look great on your ride. What color GT did you get? It's about the look and function, the Hyper Black may or may not look good with the color, that's what I would be worried about not anyone else's opinion whether you should or shouldn't.

shelbytexan Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Shelby's were mustang's first just as roush and saleen . If everyone's car looked the same then it would be very boring. A lot of mustang's have a lot of mix and match. You don't owe anyone any explanation for what you do to your car. Who knows, you might want to make the gt a Shelby tribute car some day. Good Luck.

teepee542 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I have the Hyper Black CS69's in 18" on my V6. No one has ever said anything negative about my car not being a Shelby. As was mentioned above, teh Hyper black is not really black. it is more of a metallic charcoal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbysnob Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Dude, I noticed you joined TS quite some time ago.... And really never posted??? What spurred your membership back then? And your sig name.... Did you once have a Shelby as well? Actually I had a 66 GT350 clone back 15 years ago, that had Magnum 500s. That was when there hadn't been a Shelby anyone cared about since 1970. There were 2 magazine articles done on my car and I always got a lot of great comments. It seems to me that since the new Shelbys came out, that a lot of the people that own them have an attitude toward anyone that doesn't have a Shelby, or tries to make their car look like one. I had a friend that bought a Shelby GT a few years ago, now every time he talks about my old car, it's a wannabe. He berates what other people do to their cars and complains that they are not "real" Shelbys. When I joined this forum I was thinking about one too, but after seeing the attitude of some of the members, I was turned off. Recently I checked in to see if things have changed, but am sorry to say that I still see a lot attitude here. I have seen a lot of debate over GT500s, and SGTs, and GT350s being "real" Shelbys, or just "poser" Fords. I also saw a thread where someone made a clone from 2006 Legend Lime coupe, and then saw about how "offended" everyone was by it. I was wanting to create a modern version of the car I had, without any "Shelby" or GT350 logos or anything that might "offend" people. I found these wheels, and thought that they would look great on this car, but unfortunately they say Shelby on them. I will say that the comments I have received have been positive, but I am still not sure what I'll do with it. I am really tired of the attitude in general that I see on this forum. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coachmoe Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I have a buddy who has a Mustang with the CS 69's. Looks badass and it's not a problem. If YOU like the look, DO IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Carroll Shelby also sold parts out of a catalogue back in the 60's. Buying Shelby parts to put on your personal Mustang or other has always been there. That's a good thing! When people go to the point of creating a full clone and trying to pass it off as a real Shelby is when it gets out of control and a bad thing which is going to get lots of criticism.

Secondo Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hey don't feel bad bro, there are people on this very site that have said '07-'14 GT500's and the new GT350's aren't Shelbys! Enjoy the wheels and don't listen to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
