Shelby Wheels! Get them While they last!

[19COBRA93]

It was mentioned recently in a thread they are around 36 lbs each. Just short of a boat anchor.I would like for someone to verify that though.

35lbs is shipping weight and they weigh like 30.5 lbs (20x9) and 32lbs (20x10)

Holy shit, those are some heavy Wheels

Damn good looking though!

Whats the point of stocking up on these (statement). They will never gain the value the originals did for a few reasons: More quanity produced, different engraving and doesnt even say "Alcoa" on them, less "authentic" for the kool aid drinking Shelby owners, and the reasons just dont make me want to buy a set for myself nor for investment.

Also, Shelby hasnt even released its non-preorder inventory yet. So soon as they do the prices will drastically drop and the investors will start dropping prices to liquidate on their investment so they dont lose bigtime

 

[GallopingFord]

I agree. I plan to use mine in the future or sell them to a personal friend who agreed to buy them from me for what I paid. I've been watching the sets on eBay and they are going for $3,750 +/- That is over a $1,000 markup.

Greed, I hope it comes back and bites many in the ass.

Not worth the price.

Not worth the price.

Your right they really aren't. They are one of my top favorite wheels as far as looks on the S197 but that's literally all they have. The width offered is lame, and the offset and backspacing doesn't make sense. I bought them with the intention of putting them on a Shelby in the future but decided that another wheel with better specs would be correct instead.

I really really wanted a set, but in the end, their weight and offset really turned me off. I decided to go with a nice square 20x10 silver Avant Garde M310 set. Not forged and not as cool, but half the price and better fitment.

Hopefully Kool-Aid time will come to an end soon

I would love to have a set, but I drive my car a lot and I'm not putting a $3500+ set of wheels on just to screw them up on the streets.

However, if I can get them for under $2k I might have to think about it. lol

 

[Cobra Drifter]

Doubt they will ever sell for less than new prices unless its a used set. Maybe you can get lucky and get a new set for same as new purchase price

My new build wont accomidate these wheels anymore so I opted not to buy nor invest.

 

[46Tbird]

Used is fine. Most of those guys don't do much more than polish the paint anyway, lol.

 

[Cobra Drifter]

^LOL, yet they are the ones getting rash or damage to their rims. They usually have a spare rim too.

As much as I like your 18x10 square setup, I think that the AG's will look perfect on your car. I'm really trying to find another type of wheel to go with other than F14's or RTR's but the styling and price is too good to overlook.

They would look horrible on your car so you should swap wheels with me so I can trade your F14s for a set of SuperSnakes
