How bout a sideways shot? I have a vapor as well.
Thanks guys I went with the Nitto NT555 255 35 20 up front and 275 35 20 rear. That is the size they use on the Super Snakes the only difference is the center cap has super snake on it and they use Pirelli tires. I ordered the rims thru Shelby performance parts but I had to wait a while for them and I heard they are still on back order. I have some more shots but no direct side shots if you all want me to post more pics I can.
The other very important difference is that the original Super Snake wheels, to keep them unique, also say "Super Snake" around the bead area (and on the center cap as you have mentioned), in addition to "Shelby Forged".
"Super" at the 2 o'clock position, "Snake" at the 12 o'clock position. This is shown below in the link...........

SAI has just announced 11" Alcoas. They will not be Super Snake specific and will be like the other 20" Alcoa's offered currently through SPP. As with the current SPP Alcoa's, they will only say "Shelby" and "Forged" around the outer edge of the wheel.
Below is a partial post from Bud - SAI related to this 11" announcement. At first these 11" wheels were going to be SS specific, but not anymore. At first there was also talk of a 10" to 11" swap and the original unique 10's that said "Super Snake" being kept from the public by SAI.<<This has changed also. The 11's will be an addition to the 10's for the SS owner and the 10's will continue to be the production SS rear wheel. Good news, at least an 11" wheel is now available.....

THIS IS NOT WRITTEN IN STONE YET................................
But this is what we are working on now................................
We are talking about making the 11" wheels just like the 10" Alcoa wheels---it will just say SHELBY Forged on them. This way anybody and everybody who would like to put them on their car, can. It would get way to expensive and out of hand if we were to try and do 2 different sets.
When your car is here and the wheels are available, you will get what is in the SS package--meaning, you still get the 10" SS wheels. And if you choose the 11's, we can either put them on or put them in with the take off parts. If you choose to have us put them on, the 10"s will go into the take off parts. We will not be doing any exchanges. Plus, this gives you the choice of 2 different rides and wheels types (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
This is going to eliminate having people return used wheels, frees up storage for us--we would have no room for any returned wheels. Nobody would have to worry about returning wheels, worry about refunds, etc.
When these wheels become available, you will be able to purchase them through SPP and if your car is here or at another mod shop, you will have the option for all of us to install them.
