I was told this by shelby parts after I was told the same thing from Cruzin concepts Mike. I was pissed also, been saving for these for some time! Now i have decided to go with the Spyder's from steeda, it opens up more tire options being 20x11 & 20x9.5.

I have to update this post as I was gave WRONG information! I was able to purhase my Alocas today thru the Shelby store and will have them in a few days. The Shelby store has taken over Shelby performance parts as of a week ago and SPP were the ones to give me the line of not being able to get these wheels anymore. I am just assuming here, maybe this is where cruzin concepts got there info from too? So the good news is, I got my Alcoas and looks like anyone else can too. Sorry for posting bogus information.

I second Hirevn.

I contacted Robert via email Sunday and made the order online same day (I found a 'back door' on the website). I was then contacted again via phone on Monday confirming the order had been received/ordered (lol...and that the backdoor I found was 'fixed') and was then given a tracking number. My wheels arrive tomorrow, WWOOOHHOOOOO!

Alcoa wheels are becoming available again. Shelby is only out again atm because a few of us got wind of it and hit it while it was hot...effectively selling them out again in short order. From what I've read, they will become available by this next friday and they will be getting more and more every week.

I was thinking about the general Exclaim uhp in a 295 that was suggested by a SS owner (he says no rubbing what so ever) but think I have changed my mind. Thought maybe I would try the Nitto NT05 in the same size you have listed.

I was about to pull the trigger on a set of the chrome FR500's wrapped in Nitto 555s, but after seeing this thread... good God, man! I'm hung now! The price is much more, but damn they look gorgeous! I'd hafta push back my GT500 front end conversion towards the fall to afford these babies! Whatcha think?

Also, how are you liking the Toyos? I've been bent on Nitto, but that would mean purchasing seperate, and installing. Does the CC Alcoas come with the TMPS bands on already?
