Are these wheels valuable??

[65shelby]

Hi,
These wheels were on the 65 GT350R clone that I purchased 8 years ago. I can't remember exactly what the previous owner said about them but it was something to the effect that they were valuable. They definitely have some years on them but I don't know how to determine if they are from an original GT350 or if they are otherwise valuable. Does anyone know anything about them or know how to determine what they are?

Thanks

Sorry I tried to attach the picture but the file size is apparently too large. Any ideas how to shrink it?

Open up in paint, use shrink function.

Look like Magnesium (sic?) Americans to me,they say Shelby on them anywhere??

not magnesium. they look to be aluminum with painted centers.

as to the value, they are probably worth a little bit to someone looking for some vintage torq thrust style wheels. i don't think they are american racing though, probably rocket brand or something like that.

I can't find any words or lettering on them at all. Maybe if I remove the tires I will find something?

Bingo!

Check the backside to see if American Racing is "cast" into the wheel.
