In the end the car looks better than ever and it has worked out well.



I try not to think about the amount spent.

Ha, ha! Peer pressure (DJ!) got me too. Just finished buying and modding these Shelbys.

Thanks Cliff! Well....it’s a long story but I’m moving to Hawaii in a few days for a new job with the Navy. I won’t be able to finish the project to install, but I will try to at my next visit to Japan on leave. Yes, I can’t wait to see them on the car too and will post.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I did not buy these from the guy selling on EBay, but I think these came from him. Get a set while you can before they are all gone.

My opinion are they are overrated and not the best quality, but for the price they are nice and look cool. The centers are heavy as hell and the paint quality not so good. I had the outer edge lightly machined by Carter (CT Machining/Carter200) and he had them powder coated (slight shade change) for me. I owe Carter big time as they are beautiful and very durable now.

The pad design of the wheel does not allow fitment to some of the larger calipers. Depending on what look and tuck you prefer you have to mess with the centers on in/out of the barrel and use a spacer. Some like them as is. After messing with fitment and look I wanted, I went with centers on the outside (front and back) and 1/4” spacers as recommended by others here. I have to replace Wilwood Lites with Narrow Lite calipers to install on the rear.

Best wishes with your quest.

Guess I could add it up, but I don't. Really doesn't matter.

Yep, this is what I do as well. I have a "folder" on each of my cars and I save all (every) receipt from my purchases. They are in date order and I'll pay extra for a car that comes with detailed receipts and maintenance records.

Now.... I don't want to add them up because I'll fear for my retirement.

I keep up with $ spent on mods and $ spent on routine maintenance. Now do I care NO and never will.
