CJ Pony Parts released this video today and they show a black GT350 with the smoke tint CS-21's...time stamped so you can see it right away, looks good...

 

[GT30fan]

Agreed.

Hi All,

Has anyone here purchased a set of these wheels with the Smoke Tint finish? Can you please share any thoughts and/or pictures? I'm still thinking about purchasing a set for my 2019 base 350 (Oxford White + Kona Blue stripes), so I was hoping to get some inputs before I actually pull the trigger.

Thank you very much in advance!
Don

Anybody seen a black friday special on these?

Affirmative, Thats when I I bought mine, turned into a 4 month wait because Drake does not believe in customer service, but I could not be happier with the wheels

 

[rogersteele]

are there ANY gt350r owners running this wheel set? if so pls post some pics.

I have bought several things off the Shelby website, so far all has been great. I trust them now

I got a rear organizer bag with a cobra logo and cooler zippered bag, and a luggage tag, also a plate frame

The only thing, a lot of items are hidden, I would find a link on a google search that would take me in to buy them, but on the site itself I could not find them, even when putting the item name in the search bar

I have bought many items from the Shelby Store including my CS-21s.
They buy far had the best price on the wheels. their Shelby Store Customer has always been Top Flight.
Just bear in mind that the Shelby Store just sell these wheels, they are manufactured and ship from Drake.
I hope a never have to do business with Drake again,

Does anyone know the reason they won't fit a s550 performance pack gt..?

The 30 / 60 offset is not suited for GTs

Any idea when the current CS21 wheels will be back in stock? I've had a set on order for a while, hoping they arrive before racing season starts.

I ordered my Smoke Tint set in on Black Friday, received them then in 28FEB20.
After throwing nearly daily fits.

LOL come on man. They look pretty darn nice. I love the stamped "GT350" on the lip too.

The reality is, when these were on sale during BF (Nov-Dec 2019) with 20% off, I could have gotten them shipped to my door for $2145. Fully forged "Shelby" wheel. Pretty darn impressive.

Exactly why I bought and paid then and endured the 4 month wait.

if they were a few pounds lighter..... Looks really nice in that gunmetal in that video.

Drake is a wholesaller , You have to buy from an authorized reseller.

Understood, but they where the one that took everyone's money and failed to deliver in a timely manner.

Here they are in smoke tint on Iconic Silver. I'm likely going to plastidip them black or maybe metallic blue (these are my autox wheels and my numbers are also dark blue). Couple of things, they are made in China. I bought them from CJ Pony parts and received them 3 days after the order (free shipping). They have more in stock right now. Stock lug nuts or any 21 mm hex size nut will not fit but probably most 19mm - 3/4" lug nuts will. Fit is great, the front caliper clearance is same as factory wheels. The rear spokes are VERY close to the outboard edge of the calipers but I'd be amazed if they would flex enough to rub. The spokes are very deep and the wheels look strong and stiff for their weight.

The smoke tint finish is quite glossy and deep. The brushed aluminum under the tinted clear looks really good to me, but I'd like more contrast with the silver paint.
