Title: 1969 original wheels
Post by: shelbymann1970 on June 07, 2023, 09:24:05 AM
Do all 1969 Shelby wheels have date stamps on the inner rims? Any other identifiers? Thanks. Gary

Original wheels do not have rivets holding the spoke to the rim.

I thought after the recall all the wheels had rivets holding the spoke to the wheel.

I read that also but the only correction I have seen is the lug nut issue on the non rivet wheels. I am sure Pete can answer this question, but if you find non rivet wheels they are for sure original.

Recall wheels. No markings found. Might be there, but a lot of mud/dirt so at least not vissible.

I'm thinking they stamped them like the magnums? On the rim edge?

Where to find date.
