Shelby American is coming out with a new forged wheel

[AtlantaGT500]

I wonder what the price point will be?

To much and it will probably be out of stock

The spokes stick out further than the rim, just what every curb loves.

Good timing... I am in the market for new tires and possibly wheels. I am not a curb rubber, so I am not concerned about the spokes

I am very interested in the Forgestar F14s in gunmetal, just not sure how they will look on my blue car with white stripes. I think I would prefer a chrome finish.

Another spider web-looking rim - just what we need.

Hopefully, they'll get the offset correct this time around.

This is exciting. The SS wheels are the only wheels I like better than stock, but I missed the boat on purchasing a set. Maybe these will be equally awesome.

What did the SS wheels go for originally, when you could actually buy them from the store? $1000 each?

I believe they were $495 each, originally.

Not far off, starting at $1,150.00 each, not including shipping, handling, taxes or sensors.

I may be a minority when I say this, but these wheels do absolutely nothing for me.

+1 I do not like the look, nor would I pay the price...

 

[DGladhill]

+2, for the price there are much better looking wheels.

I also don't like them, well if it didn't have the "Forged" "Shelby" "American" on it I think I'd like them more, but not at that price.

Meh design, OMG price all things considered. Pony up a little more and you can have custom cut HRE's.

Yes, originally the non-Super Snake engraved Alcoa's were $494 for the 9" and $499 for the 10". I always thought it was funny..........$6 difference in price for 1" difference in width........

It finally looks like the Alcoa craze is cooling down somewhat. I think a set of new 50th anniv. Alcoa's can be found for under $3000 if a person were to shop around. The older Alcoa's that say "Shelby Forged" only without the 50th anniversary seem to bring a little more $$$ and the Super Snake engraved seem to command the top $$$.

Now that the Alcoa is not used on any 2007-2014 production Super Snake, the Alcoa's that are out there in the market place are all that were made, and no more.

That's why I have a hard time swallowing the price of chrome BMC replicas.....only 100 bucks less a wheel than forged Alcoa's....?
Supply & demand + availability dictates price I guess.
