Has anyone purchased these wheels? If you did can you post some pictures of these wheels on your KR.
Thanks

I'd buy them if the price wasn't jacked so much. Getting tired of paying higher prices for KR exclusive items. The splitter thread is a typical example of jacked prices for the KR part that is no different than any other splitter.

But I digress.  They'll probably sell with the , "limited quantity", attached. And shelby wont need my wallet to get them off the shelves.  

My distaste of this KR stuff started with the brake fluid cap I had to pay to complete the set that should have come with the car to begin with.  But $50 is a lot easier to swallow in fixing something that shouldnt have needed to be fixed.

I don't think it's necessary to gouge your own dedicated customers.

Too many other fun, go fast options these days. Treat customers badly, and they're gone.

Looks like no one bought these wheels or just didn't like them on their KR and would not post pic's.   :headscratch:

No one is going to bite the bullet and drop a large amount of cash without seing the wheels on a car so you'll probably never see pics of these wheels on a car.

They're only like 100 bucks more than a dura-bright, aren't they?

That ain't exactly "big bucks" in *my* book.

To me, "Big Bucks" is those freakin' Foose 3-piece things at some ungodly price, like....what, $3500 ea. or somethin' like that? SHEESH!

Now THAT'S "big bucks" and the reason why *I* will never own a set!!

Quite frankly, and in yer defense, "big bucks" is a reletive term....

Call SAI - they will let you know. My guess is yes they are still for sale.  I've never seen them on a KR.

Thanks for finally posting pics of the black wheels.  Looks great on your car!  I've got a black KR myself and was thinking it would be something to have black wheels.

The Black rims would give your Black KR an entirely different look- very aggressive!

They also weight less and handle better than those "precious" 20" SS wheels. :hysterical2:
