Looks awesome man! So excited to see these wheels popping up out in the wild. I'm the product designer for the Carroll Shelby Wheel Company and this is our first new wheel since the company changed ownership last year. We've got lots of cool stuff coming down the pipeline later this year and in 2019. Thanks for posting these pics and glad you (and others) dig the wheel!

That’s pretty cool that you are the one who designed these wheels. I searched for a long time to find the ones that I liked until I found these! Kudos! As for weight these aren’t my drag wheels so I’m fine with them.

I think it looks great and if you're not going to lower it, a larger tire in front will help fill the gap and look better, IMO.

I'm surprised at how heavy the wheels are, nearly 37lbs each (for the front at least).

Thanks and yes I will probably swap the tires out next season for 35s to fill the gap.

I see this post is a few months old but im looking at this exact wheel set up for my GT500. Was wondering if the rear wheels stick out past the fender on your car?
Hard to tell in the pics but it seems it does a bit, perhaps im wrong? I really like these wheels as well and in these exact size/dimensions but really want to keep it flush in the rear, avoid going past the wheel well and having that wheel/tire sticking out when looking at it form behind.

I know your concern because I didn’t want that look either. Thankfully it sits perfectly flush and doesn’t stick out at all.

I would make the shop fix the front tires. 1.91" difference between the front and rear tire height is no Bueno for the stability control, and it is not going to protect the rim properly.

Too late this post is from last year. I may sell these tires since there’s only like 200miles on them and buy another pair in a 35 or 40 sidewall.
