AFBLUE Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 This is my best photoshop so far of the magnum 500 style wheels on my car. These wheels, like the CS66s, keeps with that 1966 GT 350 theme I'm going for. These are deep dish 18x9s and are available from http://www.wheelreplicas.com/magnumwheels.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 OK, we seem to be on the same track with about a three month lag. I showed a friend of mine the picture of the car and he said "gotta get wider tires" (in the same tone and pace that Richard Dryfus said "gotta get a bigger boat".) I looked at the Shelby catalog but nothing grabbed my eye though. Probably just rears, maybe 20". (Did Mustangs do that?) The BJ has 18x8.5 wheels with P235/50ZR18. Any suggestions?

LuLu Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 The Magnum 500s I remember were chrome plated with a deeper dish, and they came on both Ford and Chrysler automobiles. But, your suggestion is a decent tribute to that era, looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMGT Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 IMO they are nice but not different enough from the stock wheels for me. As always it comes down to personal opinion so if you like them go for it. Personally I like s mulit-poke design like the new CS40 and will probably eventually go with those. I also considered the Alcoa wheels but the design with the spokes coming to the outside of the wheel makes them look to big. If the Alco wheel was a deep dish design like the CS40 I would go with them as I like the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump_breaker Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 My preference is still the stock chromes but either way looks pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with AR Shelby Redlines in anthricite. 18 X 9 frt and 18 X 10 rear. Went 255-45 frt and 285-40 rear. BFG G-force KDW's I love the look of the wide tires. IMHO go wide.

I'm trying to decide between those 2 styles for my SGT. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TClark1976 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 LOL - That's funny - I was just coming in here to ask about the Chrome CS40's on a Vista Blue car I'm torn between the Shelby Redlines or the Shelby CS40s - I am leaning more toward the Shelby CS40s. The CS40's look more unique - and I think they are a little more exclusive to Caroll Shelby vs. being available on tirerack or any other aftermarket vendor. :D Thanks PS> AFBlue - I really like your last choice of wheels and the last photoshop you did of them. That's very a very sharp look!!! Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gofastguy Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Do you guys that switch out your wheels and tires usually keep them? I could be interested in a set of stock polished ones...

That's very a very sharp look!!! Trevor Your right the CS40's are a more exclusive wheel. The Redlines are an American Racing wheel licensed by Shelby and sold anywhere any other AR wheels is sold. The CS40's are from the Carroll Shelby Wheel Company (the company that Carroll actually owns) and only avalable at licensed dealers. I talked to someone at the CSWC and they said the CS40's have been delayed due to some minor design changes suggested by Carroll himself. They said they're adding rivets around the radius to give it a 2 piece look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
