Shelby wheels
 

Anyone ever paint the centers of their Shelby's? Pics?

Car belongs to Locobob - believe his centers are powdercoated a darker gun-metal color. Looks great!

Re: Shelby wheels
 

I like the contrast of the fasteners and that the center looks painted all the way out to the barrel of the rim. Are his centers moved out? It normally looks like the center doesnt go all the way to the barrel? I dont want to move the centers of mine outboard but like the way that looks.

In other words... isnt the lip that the fasteners go thru on the centers usually hidden not exposed?

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Mine are black I will get some pics

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Anybody paint (or PC) the centers that haven't been moved outside the rim lip?

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Yes the centers are outboard on mine.

Re: Shelby wheels
 

That Z is awesome...those wheels looks familiar. Great job David the Z looks outstanding.

Re: Shelby wheels
 

I'm wondering, anyone know the original paint code for the silver center. I was told it's some special paint. Mine have a few chips and I'd like to repaint them the original color.

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Anybody know of Shelby 1 or OZ Mittos for sale in ZR1 sizes?

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Love them Shelby's...

Where did you purchase those bad azz wheels? And are they 18" or 17"

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Unfortunatley they are 18's.

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Still have 'em for sale. Shipping might not be fun....

Re: Shelby wheels
 

I bought 40 sets from the Shelby II guys when they went out of business in 2008 or 9, don't really remember...

I sold them all in the first 45 days or so. Some to ZR-1 owners and then some to the F-Body guys.

Cheers,

Re: Shelby wheels
 

I remember when you posted those up... I couldn't get on the phone to you fast enough lol.... my only regret is that I didn't buy two sets instead of one.

Re: Shelby wheels
 

There's still a few sets out there somewhere. I found these about a year ago on another forum, new still in the box.

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Wow that looks great! I think you should come detail my car Randy :D

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Wow, Ted I am surprised no one has snatched that set up. Those are rare. If I did not already have 3 sets of wheels I would be all over it.

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Hey, Shane. Thanks. Much appreciated.




I bought an extra set and split them with another Z bro. We're going to each take a front and a back just in case we need them later.

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Good thinking :cheers:

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Anyone know if there are any center caps that interchange? Love thewheels on my car but dont love the caps.

Thx

Re: Shelby wheels
 

CT Machining machines a set of center caps for the Shelby series one wheels. PM carter200 if interested in a set. :cheers:

Re: Shelby wheels
 

I have some GM ones I made work too. Although carter has the ZR-1 scriptones that are cool too

Re: Shelby wheels
 

The. Will pm u carter.

Jeff what ones did you use?

Thx

Re: Shelby wheels
 

I used OEM GM ones like these:

the problem with them is the tines ont he back to hold it on the wheel were too small of a Diamter:

So I cut them off and then carefully removed the plastic part from the Shelby caps, put some #m Acrylic tape on them and attached them tot he GM Center caps

Here is how they fit. even though they are not metal like the Shelby Caps they look good on my car

Re: Shelby wheels
 

Those look great and in line with what I am looking for. I like the straight bowtie look. Will investigate doing this myself. Appreciate it
