1968-69 Shelby GT500 Wheels provinance
« on: March 01, 2024, 06:19:10 PM »
I need help in identifying these wheels on my 1965 Mustang.  15" wheels believed to be either genuine Ford or aftermarket which were performance wheels available on GT500's back in the late 60's perhaps early 70's.  These wheels comprise alloy centres mated to steel outer rim.  Any assistance greatly appreciated to help me identify maker and model.  Pls PM David or call 0403368497 if you can assist.
a couple more photos.  Close up external and close up inner hub

They are 1969 Shelby wheels (not 68)

I have not seen the tabs on the back, but I am sure someone else can provide more information

those are reproductions of the 69/70 Shelby’s. The welding to the steel tabs cast into the aluminum center indicate that they were most likely made by Craig Conley’s Paradise Wheels .

I can confirm those are reproductions from Paradise Wheels, a good friend has a set on his 67 convertible.

Thank you all for assisting me.  I have emailed Craig Conley Paradise Wheels asking for the DOT rating codes relevant to the wheels I have.
