Default Shelby Wheels???

Just need some opinions. I have a chance to buy a set of Shelby 500 wheels (OEM) with the Goodyear tires and TPMS for around $1,100.00. Would these wheels look out of place on my vert.

If you powdercoated the centers black and left the machine lip untouched it'd look pretty good!

For $1,100 I would get something a little more original. That's just me.

I think they would look good, but I am slightly biased.

The rims would have to be pristeen new take-offs with 100% tread on those rubbers
for it to be a good deal. Someone wants to get rid of them but does not want to price
it within range of what they are worth. They will be owning them for quite a while until
the right buyer comes along.

they would look good on your car, but as others have said, for alittle more money you can get some brand new aftermarket rims & tires (of your choice)...it just depends on your $$ situation and the look you are going for.

either way, good luck
