2013 Shelby with Alcoa Shelby 50th Anniv Wheels

[acroholic]

And I hope you aren't serious.

Go read a few posts up...also, those are the base wheels on a 2013 GT500.

Yea, I realized I was wrong but you quoted me before I could edit it.

Nice edit. :lol:

You are too fast.

Not lowered 275 20x10 on front and 295 20x10 on the rear

If a guy was interested in getting a set of these black Alco rims? Where can he get them and how much do they go for?

Thanks,

Usually the objects that shoot through a radiator like a AK-47 round through a cinder block wall, are off the back of somebody else going down the highway or worse from a Semi kicking up the pellet sized rocks that are scattered everywhere on highway roads.

I have had this happen to me with way smaller radiator openings.

It looks good, but even with the 12 grille you will still be vulnerable to damage.

I know what you mean. But at least with some coverage, there's at least a chance the debris will hit the grill and either deflect away or at least slow down before slamming into the radiator. With nothing covering, there's NO CHANCE.

We also see a lot of plastic bags blowing around here. Much easier to pull it off the grill than dig into the radiator and try to pull melted plastic off the radiator.

These are the 50th and I got them powder coated black. $100 per rim. I painted the caps myself.

Look really good in black on your car. Saw another had theirs painted white. Didn't look bad on their car either.

I just can't wait for this weekend when we get our Invos mounted on the wheels & get them on the car!!!!

1. MPSS are wider than M/T's.
2. MPSS have a very thick sidewall and section width.

This is why I suggest running 285 MPSS if you want to lower your car, if not then you need to have your Alcoa's widened to bring the bulge inward.

^^^That is why I have not suggested using Michelin Super Sports with Alcoa's. I did not have any firm data, but my guess was that they ran on the wider side as did the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's that came before them. "Wider" is not as much of concern on most wheels, but on an Alcoa it can be a "sticking out" situation. <<<This is not a big deal if the owner wants the "sticking out" look, but many don't. As I mentioned before, a more flat sidewall is a must with an Alcoa. My first mount would be a 10" rear, just one, if the tire bulges much at all, fall back and regroup on your tire choice if you do not want it to stick out. The fronts can be adjusted with the strut or caster camber plates, the rear..........no adjustments except for widening. The rear tire fit is the key.

Invo 275/295 run narrower from what I have seen, and fit without so much "stick out".

It depends upon the owner as to if "sticking out" is ok. But once the tire is mounted, the sticker is pulled off the tread, and it has rolled on the road, it is many times too late to return and regroup, you are stuck with a boat load of $$$ in tires you wish were a little different fit.

$100 per rim to powder coat it black. How much for the 50th rims?

Thanks,

Good luck getting them for anywhere close to this price. They've been selling close to $1000 / wheel. The orignal SVT non-PP wheels are around $1700 each from Ford! I'm selling mine for MUCH cheaper than that. PM me if interested.

If I were running Alcoa's I would consider this tire. 265/35/20 & 285/35/20.

Anybody got a good referral for a shop selling Nitto Invos? Our Goodyear dealer is having a bitch of a time finding a set of 275s & 295s.

I have mich pss I put 275s on the front they are really good but I dont know about cold temps but Michelin is coming out with launch sizes in May for a new tire that is suppose to do everything very well. It only took discount tire one day to get them and I was out the door for less than 1500 bucks.

 

[UOP Shadow]

I ordered mine from DT & will post how it goes.

 

[UOP Shadow]

The Invos have arrived. Just need my TPMS & get the car to DT on Sat morning!

 

[Rob Nelson]

Those Alcoa's look SICK!!! I might have to get a set for my 14'... Hard to justify when the Base non/SVTPP wheels look really good on the car.

Here are a couple pictures of the 50th anniv Alcoas installed today.

 

[psucobra]

you can send them to us. we can shave some material off the back of the wheel to bring them in a bit. at least up to.200", possibly .250". $100 per wheel plus return shipping.

Has anyone tried this with their Alcoas? I know everybody is tired of talking about Alcoas but this piqued my interest.

 

[COOL COBRA]

^^^^ That is the sharpest Shelby I've ever seen in my entire f-ing life!!!

 

[UOP Shadow]

Thank you.

A call to SVT told me it's the only 2013 PW w/ blue stripes vert they made as we optioned the car. Now I'm just waiting for paperwork confirming this as a 1 of 1 car.
