tomshep Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I just purchased a set of used KR rims with original tires (as I understand it). I was able to get them with center caps and tires for $1200. A friend picked them up a few weeks ago and he brought them to me a few days ago. I've got a few questions. Are the front and rear RIMS the same size? From memory, the tires were specific to the KR. How can they be identified as correct KR tires? Do these have the Durabrite finish? Upon closer inspection one of the rims has a deep gouge a couple inches long right on the front of the spoke. What do single rims go for? Anybody got an extra? Any wheel repairs shops that can handle a repair like this? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZ Shelby KR Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Wheels / Tires Wheels: Unique GT500KR 18" x 9.5" machined aluminum wheels with SVT/Shelby center caps and tire pressure monitoring system Tires: Exclusive Goodyear Eagle F1 tires made of an all-new compound Front: 255/45Zx18 Rear: 285/40Zx18 Yes - Durabrite finish Tyres will have a build date of that era. You will have to decode. There should be a four digit number listed after the DOT stamp. The first two numbers are the week, the last two are the year. EG: DOT U2LL LMLR 5107 51 Manufactured during the 51st week of the year 07 Manufactured during 2007 https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=11 Edited February 16, 2020 by NZ Shelby KR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber08 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 The tires will have the Goodyear "Winged Foot" with a circle around them on them. Standard tires for the GT500 in Goodyear did not have it. The treadwear is also different rating.If memory serves me correctly, 180 treadwear for the KR.
