Shelby no longer makes the rims. Finding them is going to be hard. You can check on eBay but you will pay around $4000 to $6000 for just the rims. I got mine two years ago for $500 each.

Yes these will be pricey. Shelby does not make many spares as it wanted the KR500 to be a limited production and the wheels are almost a sig. BUT the real car used wasn't a true KR500. It was just a run of the mill GT with all of the parts ordered from Shelby and added to the car. Shelby quickly switched to super snakes after the KR500 numbers where ordered. If you are going to spend that much on rims might as well get the whole enchilada :). I'm sure the replica builders have a rim that is very similar but just not made under Shelby it's not that special being a 10 spoke wheel.

The GT500KR's came stock with 18" KR Rims. The Supersnake rims are 20". If your GT500 car was converted into a Supersnake from Shelby, The rims were replaced with the 20" SS and they also stamped with SuperSnake on the lip of the rim. If you ordered SuperSnake rims without having the car, They said Forged instead of SuperSnake.
