Title: 14” 1966 chrome Shelby magnum 500 wheel
Post by: paul on August 03, 2023, 06:47:07 AM
I was asked to post for a friend. I think it's an original that was re-chromed several years ago. Has blemishes , scratches in the rim where center meets the rim hoop(improper care given while setting backspace?). Pictures available on request. $400. Paul.

Paul, the offset is different then it should be for a Shelby. The rim should be more offset to the outside.   Consequently it is not correct for a 66 Hertz or regular GT350.  It looks like the more common MOPAR wheel to me.

Someone has taken a MOPAR wheel and cut the center out to try and make a Hertz wheel . They changed the offset but by doing so the change in position (moving center rearward in the rim) uncovers the uneven cut area. it is hard to smooth out the cut area enough that it doesn't show up in the chrome.  That is what the imperfection in the chrome looks like when this is done most of the time. It is hard to tell because of the reflection but it does not look like the offset was enough for a typical Hertz wheel. I tried to show a picture of the more substantial offset of a Hertz wheel.

Also note the wheel in question appears to have a 2 1/8" diameter center hole. Original Hertz Magnums had a 2" diameter center.
