Posted April 30, 200816 yr comment_245690 Hello all.I have a parts request for a friend, he's looking for a set of the Shelby wheels that look like the Vector Racing Rims from the Dukes of Hazard Charger, if that helps.The Shelbys are 12 spokes similar to the Vetors 10 spoke design but instead have a "wall" around the lug nuts which the spokes flow out from to the edge of the rim.Sorry I don't have a picture but I've seen these before and thats about as best I can desribe. They are ofthen times confused for Western Wheel Turbines.Looking for a whole set or enough individuals and one spare, center caps not needed.Thaynx~Z~ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/27919-looking-for-shelby-rims-wheels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH]22938[/ATTACH] haha , YEAH THYANX DeesZ I didn't realize they looked exactly alike. Thier may be a very slight difference but the Shelby rims are in 4 lug pattern. I'll get a pic from my friend of the wheel he has to compare just to make sure, but thats what they look like, a magnessium wheel with 12 spokes instead of the Vectors 10 spokes (if I counted right :bandit:) ~Z~ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/27919-looking-for-shelby-rims-wheels/#findComment-246138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

May 6, 200816 yr Author comment_246385 I had a look at my frinds 2 Shelby rims again and they are the exact same as the Vectors on the LEE.And they are 10 spokes like the Vecs but in the 4 Lug bolt pattern.He beleives Shelby but his name on them but were made by a different rim manufacture instead or "sourced out" to someone other thanAmerican Racing aswell.Well if any one has a lead on 4 Lug Vectors or look alikes please let me know.Thyanku~Z~ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/27919-looking-for-shelby-rims-wheels/#findComment-246385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
