It seems Carroll Shelby and his wheel selections have been greatly influenced by West Coast Customs. I could see their point and logic if they would be customizing black Expeditions three inches of the ground instead of Mustangs.

The greatest influence on Mr. Shelby's wheel selection is Mr Shelby.
The CS69 is a modern version of the 1969/1970 Mustang Shelby wheel (hence the name). Just like the CS67 is a modern version of the 1967 Shelby Mustang wheel, and the CS66 is a modern version of the 10 spoke 1966 Shelby GT 350 wheel.

Yes I am sure about that. Chrome wheels are nothing new. Cragars (1st picture) were very popular in the 1960s).
And his wheels are available in 2 other finishes as well.

Cragars were one of the several options of available wheels in '66, n/a on the '67, n/a on the '68, n/a on the '69/'70 models.
The question remains the same. It's is not about chrome not being available, it's about chrome (c, h, r, o, m, e) being the main emphasis, as in priority, as in obsession, as in pimp-my-ride.
Charges and fees may apply for additional metaphors.

The CS69s are OK but I would go with the CS67s myself. The GT500KR is such a throw back to the 68KR I think the CS67s complete that. This hood blows away the stock GT500 hood. I guess Shelby got tired of looking at it.

At this Point it Looks Like a Pretty Much 50/50 Split. I think a wheel Option offering Existing Both Styles would be Nice. To Me it seems Like a New or Old School Preference. The Mustang has a Broad Market appeal why not more than One Wheel Option. Considering how Much this Stang is Going to Go For it seems like a resonable request!

The Wheels on the Concept GT500 KR are nice. But for such a retrospective car and the body lines, all chrome is a lot of bling, IMO.
When I remember old school fastback, I recall the Black or Grey Wheels with a Satin Finish accent.
