    I believe the wheels were made by Western Wheel in Fresno Ca. I had a set on an E150
    back in the seventies. They were bought out and are now called Western Chrome.Their web site shows wheels for big rigs. I hope this helps. lastchance

    Even though they are 4 lugs, they were probably true Shelby (aftermarket) rims.
    You wouldn't believe some of the hokey stuff Shelby put his name on during the 70s!
    Some of the stuff I have seen, it wouldn't surprise me if he offered mudflaps at one time. Seriously, that kind of accessory stuff is what he was reduced to when the dark ages hit.
