I was surprised to see that the Shelby GT500KR will come with 18" wheels, not the 20s seen on the show car and in Knight Rider.

Hmmm, if I were a KR buyer, I'd be disappointed

 

I like the car anyway!

 

If I were a KR buyer, I could afford 20's. But I too would wonder why I have to at that price...

 

Too bad those pics are tiinnnyyyy

 

Click 'em.

 

The write-up in MM&FF mentioned that. I've waiting for them to become available through Shelby or FRPP. I think they rock !

 

Those 18s on the KR look as tiny as the stock V6 wheels!

Yea, they kind of lose something in translation. I think lowering would help.

 

Well, I like them.
My guess is the weigh is enough less to justify as a performance enhancement.

If the forged wheels are 20% lighter and 18" wheels are lighter than 20", why not.
Okay, I don't like 20" wheels on any Mustang.

 

normally I dont like 20's on mustangs either, but in this case I think they look way better than the 18's.

 

Yea those 18s dont look right!! I would want the 20s

 

They dont "click"

 

Click harder.

They work for me. Anyone else having problems?

 

Worked for me.

 

The 18's look better, IMO.

 

They work for me.

 

The wheels look pretty lame in 18", after seeing the 20s--but that's an easy enough fix if you don't like the look.

 

The car has a totaly different appearance witht the 18's. I think they blew it with this but they always do that. I still mad that the original 05 concept wheels came out in 17. I would love to have those wheels in a 20.

Wow . . . . The standard GT500 wheels look much better than those 18" KR wheels.
