Hi--hope somebody has the answer----Guy is offering fairly cheap original rims for 1969 Shelby GT 500--cheap is $ 50 each--how do I distinguish between original and reproduction---unfortunately I have been cheated before--thank you .Thanks, I need to be more specific---fellow claims that rims are original in fairly good shape. no actuall damage but they need to be recromed. Paradise will do recroming for $300 a piece. my problem is how do I determined if they are really original.

+1 unless the center is broken it is a no brainer at that price .
Weren't the originals "glued in?"
Then later ones riveted?
We're they not recalled?

I will confirm what you are remembering . The updated version was the riveted ones. The recall was to replace the glued in ones with the riveted ones.
Anyone know what type of adhesive was used??I want some....

It looks like miracle goo JB weld ;D but I don't know if it was the same .
At $50 a rim you could use them on a shopping cart for that price.
Traded a nice glued in set a while back for a door.
