Wanted a set of wheels for my F150, not what everyone else has, zoned in on a set of Shelby CS-44's. The Shelby site listed them for $ 260.99, and that price never moved.
.................................................................Today if you search Shelby CS-44, you find:
Summit Racing has them for $ 260.06.
C J Pony Parts has them for $ 245.00........I bought ( 5 ) @ $ 89.00 ea........
.........When I found this site I thought it was a type o, so I called them, nope, that was the price.
.................................They showed up yesterday, 20 x 9's

OP was more interesting in bragging about his find than sharing the link.

Next up------magnifying glass to identify all of invisible-to-the-naked-eye blemishes on his $89 wheels. https://www.svtperformance.com/threads/ccw-black-friday-sale-is-on.1180721/#post-16322259

You didn't understand the point of the thread, I'll try to pay more attention to what I post in the future.
..........& you're in luck, CCW is running a sale, their most popular wheel, described by their QC department as " perfect in every way " !!

maybe if you circle what's the defect that'll help cause I don't see what's wrong with this wheel.

Exactly, i still dont see it ..

And here I thought you were just busting my balls.
The bottom of the drilled holes has " chatter marks ", would prevent the lug nut from seating completely. The bottom of the hole should be smooth.
.

The surface waviness from this cutting takes the form of a sun-ray pattern splayed about the bottom of the hole. Chatter occurs at any rpm where the drill's in-and-out motion interferes with the waviness left in the surface by the previous revolution of the drill. The rotating, oscillating drill collides with these waves, and the waviness and oscillation both grow more severe.

................The bottom of the hole should be smooth..

Shit never knew about this you learn something everyday.

Nice score on the Shelby wheels.

While I probably would have kept the ccw's, I 100% understand how you feel especially for how much you spent.

VA-Mach1 · Feb 20, 2020

What year f150?

I'm interested in the fit on my 05

Mine is a 17.
According to the CJ Pony Parts site, this wheel fits 2009 thru 2019 F150's..

Knowing the holes were F___k'd up, I don't think you could get a correct torque #, because of the amount of contact being made by the lug nut.
Better to be safe than sorry..

Good eyes and good info. I had never heard of chatter marks. Am I correct in assuming that many/most low end/low cost wheels would likely not have the preferred/necessary smooth base for proper seating and torquing?

oldstv · Feb 21, 2020

Good info here. I'm with Bob, would this be correct?

oldstv · Feb 21, 2020

I guess you could use a steel lug nut and put it on and off a few times to smooth out the marks?
