Yeah that s a good deal with rims & tires . What size did you go with?

255/35/20 Front  295/30/20 Rear. I saw that exact same package on a car just like mine in the thread below, which reinforced my decision to go with the Alcoa and buy the tire combo. Before  that, I was under the impression that you could go no wider than 275 with a car that's lowered, which is narrower than stock. Besides, I  wanted to use the stock Alcoa wheels rather than have them widen. 295/30/20 seems like a nice compromise that fits the standard Alcoas without rubbing.

10Shelby,  Do you get any rubbing on the rear tires under hard cornering?

Nope and it has been lowered using Ford Racing springs.

Sweet good to hear!   I have foose rims on now with 315/35/20 on and they rub ever so slightly on very hard cornering.  BUT,  I also have to shelby/ eibach coil overs and i think they were adjusted to the lowest height.

Love the wheels.  Here is my only problem.  Brake calipers.  It kills me to have "run of the mill" stock calipers on the rear with nice Brembo's on the front.  Any wheel that allows greater visibility of this just irritates me.  Cannot believe that SVT did not come up with something a bit better that what we get for stock.  I've had Jaguars (R's) and Porsche's that have nice break calipers and wheel combos.  Saw a silly Cadillac today with beautiful silver calipers today.  I have these cast iron looking things on the rear and it's simply irritating.

I agree. I think I'll paint mine.

Not "being discontinued", they have allready been discontinued.  Shelby Performance Parts bought out Alcoa's remaining inventory so they say.

I was almost to pull the trigger and purchase a set but if they are already discontinued I'd rather to wait for the next model......Also I wonder why Shelby Parts doesn't offer them in black powdercoated ...............

Wheels came in on Thursday   Just waiting on the tires now.

What are you guys doing for the Tire Pressure Sensors?  Buying new OEM's from Ford or going aftermarket?
