Talking Shelby CS40's? Updated With Pics



Anyone have these wheels? Anyone have pics of cars with these wheels? Especially Hyperblack.

I am torn between these and 18" bullets. Weird I know.

But if I get these I will do the GT-500 front end conversion and Cervinis Shelby Cowl induction hood.

The car is silver with no stripes.

If I dont get these I will do the bullets and a more subdued sleeper type look.

Any input is welcome.

Thanks

Xeno was nice enough to photo shop this pic for me. I think I like it



Any additional thoughts?

Also I was planning on running 255/35/20 and 275/40/20 General Exclaim UHP's.

Thanks,

I'd go with the black ones on a silver car.
The bullit are over done IMO.
I've got them because of the retro look I went after.

The CS40s are less popular but better looking for mods, and I agree, they'd look awesome with the Cobra front.

black for sure. the most contrast on a silver car, yet not too much contrast. perfect color imo. and i have a satin silver

Whichever color you decide to get, I think those are great looking wheels. I was contemplating them but chose to get the CS-69's instead.

I think if you want contrast, the black would look great. But if you don't want to have the contrasting colors on the wheel, then I'd go with the chrome ones. I don't think the silver ones would look good on a silver car. Maybe on a blue one but not silver.

Yeah if I get the CS40's I would get the black for a little contrast. I think they would look great with the 14" bear brake upgrade with a black caliper.

I really want to see a pic of them installed though and I have searched tons on the web. Only ones I found was the silver ones mounted on a red car. Shelby has a pic on their site but is so small.

Any photoshop guru's who can put it on a Satin Silver stang?

The only other problem is there are like $2600 with tires, compared to $1600 for the bullitts.

Behind buying a S/C I think wheels are the hardest decision I will make with this car.

The black would kick, especially if you ever add black stripes. Sweet...

I dont think I want to do stripes, but if I did I would do a porsche basalt metallic black superstripe painted.

But with the silver car I want to keep it understated, so I think these with the GT-500 conversion and cowl rise hood would look great.

Now I just need to kill the stock pereli's, 17k miles and they look new. And save some money.

Gratuitous smokey burnouts, and bank robbing arent options

Everything in its time.

But still any photoshopers help me out here?
