Default Anybody seen these wheels?

SO apparently, someone FINALLY got around to creating a replica of the Shelby Alcoa wheels that go on the GT500 Super Snake. If you know anything about Shelby, he just loves to sue people that even come close to copying his designs. So I am extremely excited about this, because these wheels are much much lower than the asking prices you have seen on Ebay lately (sometimes $1,500 per wheel). Plus these wheels come in black chrome, and gunmetal, which is not available on the Shelby ones.

I'm excited to finally be able to afford these wheels, and pretty interested to see how things pan out with Shelby Automotive. I know that the manufacturers are trying to keep these wheels pretty hush hush.

They are not quite exactly the same as Shelby. The shape is a little different, and the cap is different. But the guys on the SVT forums are saying it's easy to just pick up the Shelby caps and slap em on.

*plus they are not forged, so I think they will be a little heavier.

I lowered a car for a guy that has a set of these.....along with everything you mentioned, the 20x10's even have the retarded offset that the Shelby Alcoas have.

What did you think of them in person? Were they heavy?
