Bends Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Does any one have info about this company and the quality of their products. I really like the CS67 in 20 inches, and I am considering them as street rims for my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in Huntingron Beach, CA, I think... here's some info on the wheels at MustangBlog.com if you were looking for that. Here's the main Shelby Wheels webite. I kinda like the CS56s in "Hyper Silver" -- reminescent of the Boss 302 Follmer/PJ Trans-Am wheels ;-) -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20" CS66s do and the 67s are supposed to be revised to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68fastback Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I was told by a good source that American Racing manufactures Shelby wheels. They do... they license the name from Shelby Autos... AmyB exaplained in another thread. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcthorne Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I think there is a difference between the American Racing Shelby wheels and the Carrol Shelby Wheels Company wheels. Two different licences and two different companies. This is the first I have heard from anyone that AR is building the wheels for CSW company. Although they are both China sourced cast wheels.

Ah, I see your point, jct... I was assuming (incorrectly?) that Carroll Shelby Wheel Company was a subsid of Shelby (which I do not know) who markets the wheels directly to Ford dealers for their aftermarket needs. But from the licensing words on their site, they may be unrelated. I don't know which [if any] are made in China. Personally, I buy avoid buying anything that sends my money out of the US if I can help it, but that's just me. In one of Amy Bs threads she was very clear though that [some of] the AR Shelby wheels are made in the USA -- the billet ones, I believe. Someone else had mentioned China as well and she responded to that, but I do not recall which wheels specifically she was correcting the poster on. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bends Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 They are definitely not American Racing. I spoke with a gentleman from the company today concerning fitment on the GT500. No go on the CS67. The CS66 will be available soon in 20's that will fit on our GT500's. He also stated that a new style will be coming out, called the CS69, that is a perfect fit for the GT500.

68fastback Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 That's great news, thanks! ...CS69 ...hope they look nice ...did he give you any feel for what they look like or when they might put up a pic on their site? <edit:> Bends, did he say anything about the CS56s fitting the '500? .

Bends Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Currently they have no plans to offer the CS56 in the correct offset for the GT500. If you like that style, did you check out the Saleen Parnelli Jones wheels? Very simular in style, but larger in size (19's). http://www.saleen.com/saleen-parnellijones.htm FYI - I'm trying to get more info on the CS69's.

They look very similar to the classic TransAm wheels but have less spokes. The CS56s looked a little closer to the originals.

jcthorne Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 To me the CS69s look too much like a Mach1 wheel. Not that the Mach 1 wheels are bad, just not Shelby like. Had really hoped they would rework the 20x9 CS67 to fit the front of the Shelby. I will likely end up with the CS66s but am waiting to see a photo of the CS69 in chrome. There is a photo of the grey version CS69 over at TheMustangSource in the Marketplace OEM section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
