CS 67

I'd go 18 x 8.5 in front & 18 x 9.5 in the rear.

Not sure what tires yet & it seems like you can only get them through the ford dealers.

I was looking at the Vintage Wheel Work ones and they keep saying they are comin gout with 18", but i like these better.

I like em, wanna see em on a car though.

Of those, I like the top row, mainly the 2 on the right.
The bottom row I dislike altogether.

If I had to choose my favorite modern interpritation of a classic Shelby rim, I would say the Wheel Vintiques (I think that's the brand) billet Magstars. Hands down over any of those 6.

Dave, the top ones are 68 shelby style 10 spokes and the bottom are 66 style 10 spokes. the ones you are referring to are the 67 Kelsey Hayes MagStar style 5 spoke (really a 10 spoke since it is a spilt 5 spoke) Wheel Vintiques calls the them the Marodder because these wheels were also used on the 69 Mercury Maruader.

Hmmm, I never realized there were 2 varieties of Shelby 10 spokes.
I knew that they were trying to modernize the 10 spoke though.
I don't like the way the bottom version wraps to the rim.
I like the very defined end of the spokes on the first ones.
Makes them look sharp.

Yeah, I was aware of the Magstar thing. I just couldn't remember for sure who was making the modernized version.

The Marauder used a Magstar, but fwiw, the dish area around the lugs is larger than the Shelby version. They pass fine as Shelby parts to anyone but concours judges though.

I will probably never be lucky enough to own a Shelby, so I'll settle for some sort of Magstars on a Ford someday.

Hey, I just looked at the site...
These are all for new Stangs.
The backspace issue alone would be he!! to work out on a classic. Unless of course you don't mind spacers.

68GT500KR_Vert · Jun 28, 2007

my setup

is a Mustang II front end with 2" drop spindles and a coilover back end. I'm pretty sure the spacing isn't stock anymore anyway.

I like the CS67s because it looks like the Vintage Wheel Work ones that are $350/wheel. They are the same price and I get them chromed at the same price.

Wow, you guys have got some good taste. I like all the wheels pictured in this thread.

Z06killinSBF · Jun 29, 2007

If only the CS 67's came chrome with black on the spoke inserts.

Well, you could paint them, or take them to a vinyl sign shop and have black stripes installed...
