I'd like to see the final product and what his other offerings are before I pass judgement. It is always exciting to see this level of involvement 18 months before product launch!! More goodies for us to install on our Shelby Cobras!!

I don't think I am trippin' but I don't like the looks of them. Just because a rim looked good on an older model does not mean it will look good on a different body style. However, one thing I have learned since first coming to this site is you cannot really judge anything by looking at a photo. I'll have to see a set in person to know if I like them or not.

They are virtually exact copies of the old wheels, only bigger -- what were you guys expecting from Shelby?
They have potential, and I kind of like them, but will reserve judgement until a real picture. At least it is something different than the Bullits everyone and their brother has.
P.S. I like the added fogs on the GT500 concept.

I have been waiting for a replica Shelby 18" wheel for my GT350 tribute car, as it is. These would do the trick, for sure. Maybe I'm the one who's trippin' here, but I like them a lot.

John, I think you need to drive down to Louisiana so I can see your car in person. I can't really tell by your pics if I like it or not.

They look hard to clean....LOL

The bullitts to me are hard to clean because there are a lot of curved surfaces. These Shelby wheels look very flat... and althouth they have 10 spokes... the spokes are really thin. I bet these are easier to clean than the bullitts, or the upgrade wheels with all those slots between the spokes.
