Hi all!!!!

Sorry I was a day late with the news, but here you go


The last test we did passed. The wheels will be made!!!!!!!


Now, here is some info that is kind of important to know..........................

1. The wheels have to be made now---time frame? It could take a month or two, but they will be made

2. The wheels will have the Super Snake markings on them. That means they are exclusive to the SS. If your car is in the shop when we have the wheels, you will then have the option of either the 10's or the 11's. If you choose the 11's, there will be a price difference between the 2 wheels and a price difference in the tires. As soon as I get the pricing, I will let you all know.

3. If you do choose to go with the 11's, you do not get the set of 10's with it. It will be one or the other. Also, if you decide to purchase the 11's, you will have to send us the 10's back. Again, these are going to be exclusive to the SS. We can not have extra SS wheels floating around

4. If you do choose the 11's, the rear brake duct will NOT fit and they will not be added onto the vehicle. Will the brake ducts still go with the car? I am not sure. I still have to find that one out.

5. Will there be "stock" 11" Alcoa's? That is a good question and we are working on it. We had to choose one or the other first and we choose to do the SS wheels at this time.

As soon as I know when they will hit, I will let everybody know again. Folks, they are coming, but it will take just a little more time to get them made and sent to us.

I hope this is good news to all!!!!!!!

Thanks!!!!

OK, if it is only a matter of time, then that is in fact good news. Will they be available for the KR?

Hi Bud,
Any news on 18" Alocas and if they will clear the big brakes?

That is great news! I just got the call from Cynthia to bring my 08 GT500 in to Vegas for the SS.

With the holidays approaching and scheduling transportation, I told her that I will be dropping off my car first week of January.

I have two questions.

1. Will the new 11" rims be available by January 2009?

and not to sound greedy.

2. What's the status of the upgraded Rear Brakes in colors?

[MY500SS]

Thanks for the update Bud.
Oh yah, 11's on the way.

[GT500Bookends'68'07]

Thanks for the update!

I was planning to keep the street tires on the 10" and drag radials on the 11". I am hesitant about sending the 10" back since they were originally with the package. I may wait for the "stock" Alcoas or the 18" Alcoas since the extra sidewall is important with drag radials.

I was told by Chris & Keith (SPP) last month that the 18" Alcoas will only be available for the KR's.

Can the 10" rear rims move to the front, use the 11" on the rear and return the 9's? Also can the exchange be made at the Mod shop where we had our cars built?

You beat me to that question!! LOL Yea Bud, you forgot to mention what size and brand tires were tested to best work with the 11" wheels!! I'm sure in your excitement to tell us about the status of the wheels that this tid bit of info. was lost in the shuffle. BTW, hope all is well with you and the Mrs. and keep up the good work..............Barry
