WTB : Alcoa Wheels

[R1Lello]

Congrats! Mine arrive Monday.

By chance does anybody know if the anybody had a machine shop machine down the mounting flange on the rear wheels so they would accommodate a 305/35 DR? I figure by machining off 1/4"-3/8" off would allow clearance for such a tire on a lowered Shelby.

wow, you really want to weaken the flange area? 1/2 inch is the correct number......3/8th might be close with 305's but doing nothing will get you rub with 305's. Shorten the rear end is the smart thing to do or buy wheels with the correct backspacing. Alcoa's are wrong by 1/2 inch, front and rear.

It was just a question...

I've never seen the back side of this particular wheel so I thought I would ask. In some cases I've seen where there's more than enough stock to remove. Thanks for the info and your opinion.

Thanks to everyone who purchased or inquired about the Alcoa's! These wheels fly outa here!!

I do have 1-20x9 and 2-20x10's left. Both are still brand new in the boxes and ready to ship. Someone must want some backup wheels, just in case!
Contact me if you want them...
thanks

EDIT: These are pending.

I got my wheels today and they came with the "Shelby" center caps.:rockon: I'm going to go buy some lottery tickets :dancenana:

I got them put on last night and had a chance to take some pics today. They look fantastic!! Thanks Don @ Tasca :banana:

Very nice! :beer:

Looks Great ! Some wheel company should steal the design and make them with 11 inch rims for the back. They would sell like hot cakes ! Not sure they could get the same coating.

 

[kenmath23]

wow

Man those look awesome!!! Nothing looks better than poslished wheels on a black car. Hopefully I can find a 9" to finish my set.

What tires did you put on there?

I think that's why the shely store is only selling to SS owners from this point forward. The better hope they have a good surplus on hand!

Jason,
Those look great! Glad you like them!

Someone with pull needs to call alcoa or Shelby and tell them to keep making them. Silly not to make and sell something thats so liked. Whats next...NO MORE PIZZA ?

Cruzin concepts. You might have to finance them though. They were 700.00 per wheel a couple weeks ago. Who know how much they are now.

Has anyone seen these on a white GT500. Not sure how well the wheel would look on a white with grabber blue strips. I found a smoking hot deal on a wheel and tire package. Just want to see how you guys think it would look.

A guy on Ford gt500 forum just put a set on his white gt500 and they look great, the alcoas look amazing on any color car.

Wish i could get a set myself. Had someone around the way gave these away for $700. I almost puked guy wanted them out the garage..

 

[db@tasca]

If anyone wants just one 20x9", I have just the one left over. Brand new in the box still, good for a spare wheel, just in case!
