    If it sounds too good to be true, it is,............maybe !!

    Wanted a set of wheels for my F150, not what everyone else has, zoned in on a set of Shelby CS-44's.
    The Shelby site listed them for $ 260.99, and that price never moved.

    .................................................. ...............Today if you search Shelby CS-44, you find:
    Summit Racing has them for $ 260.06.
    C J Pony Parts has them for $ 245.00........I bought ( 5 ) @$ 89.00 ea........( 20 x 9 )
    .........When I found this site I thought it was a type o, so I called them, nope, that was the price.

    Great find and outstanding price!! Nice looking wheels and not too bright which fits nice with your F150's no-chome theme

    So if you didn't have a 20 Wheel on it before, now that you've upgraded to 20, what do you need to do to recalibrate the speedometer/computer to make sure it is accurate with the larger wheel size?

    Might not need anything if the tires are a lower profile ratio, else it has to be tweaked in the tune ...I think many of the tune-loading hand-helds can do it too.

    I won't spring for a tune just to fix the speedometer, the difference @ 65 mph is 2.93 mph. ( 65 = 67.93 ),...........& who does just 65 ???

    Most tire stores can do it.
