Discontinuing Shelby Alcoa's
Well!, they have discontinued manufacture of Shelby Alcoa's. So the remaining stock is all that will be available. What do you all think they would look like on my GT500? I have been considering them but thought I had a long time to consider it! Or what other wheels do you guys think would look really good? Suggestions Please!

I think the Alcoas look good on anything, but they're pretty popular among the GT500 crowd and alot of people have them. If you like them, get them, but be aware that if something were to ever happen to a rim down the road, you'd be out a set of rims. Not trying to scare you, only give you something to take into consideration.
As far as suggestions, Vossen Wheels has some really awesome styles that look not only look fantastic, but allow you to run a nice wide tire out back!

Thanks for the input 05 Mustang! I will eventually get something different and Vossen is at the top of the list. They have some really nice looking wheels that everyone seems to be happy with! Something to think about!

Love the Koni's! Set them full soft and it really smooths out the bumps about half way between (where I leave them set) it really makes it handle the twisties like it should and still rides better than stock. I'll put up some pics when I get the rims on not in a big hurry tho.

BTW- I love the look of your GO GT500, with those striped louvers.

I think they look very good, but those 20" Alcoa aren't light, and running tires with so little sidewall, gives a rough ride. Grab 'em if you like the look, and don't worry about messing one up. They can always be repaired, and they'll still turn up used on eBay. I still see original KR wheels from the '60s on eBay...

AND your KR looks really great!
