Coralsnake68@hotmail.com
I am presuiming that have asked the Branda's?
I have a '94 Branda catalog showing 10-spoke wheels.
Don't know if this helps, but was easy enough to do.

Thank you Jim very much appreciated
Do they show a 1968 version?
They do indeed:

Very helpful, now we need to creep back and see when these reissues started
We will solve the puzzle of these wheels. This identifies a "second" version of the CS wheel co sold by Branda.
Im guessing from what I have seen Branda starting selling wheels in the mid 1980s
That is the straight non tapered version in the catalog picture. It seems like that they were selling a different version in the early 80's.
So I have a non tapered spoke/valve on rim/ flat lug design in 1994 above
It looks like they changed to the new repro design non tapered spoke / valve on rim/ chamfered lug around 2010?
Looking to confirm and or add to that info
The catalogs are very good source of info
We should be able to start bracketing the types being sold
I possibly may have a old branda catalog, will check
I have a "Branda catalog C" shown on the upper left of the front cover with no date anywhere. The '68 10-spoke picture is on the bottom of p.17 and so dark you can't see the valve stem which I believe may be at 12 O'Clock. They are tapered spokes. The description reads:
1968 SHELBY 10-spoke Aluminum wheels: 15X7; currently being reproduced by Carroll Shelby; includes lug nuts and correct center cap. 17/23
Thank you sir!
Catalog c is an early catalog, most likely mid 80s. Can you identify the lugs used?
With or without a "washer"?
The valve stem appears to be on rim and not between spokes?
FWIW, I have a 'Catalog F' which does not have a published date anywhere. Has the same exact photo as Jim's image in reply# 4 above although on page 23 instead of 21.
Catalog F okay! Im finding the copyright inside the front cover or first page. Im thinking F is 1987?
I think the valve stem is on rim at five o clock? Would you agree?

Correct, 5:00! Copyright is on 1st page but oddly no date. I'm guessing 1988. Believe this is my first Branda catalog I got shortly after buying my 66 in 1987, it was delivered to the house we moved into in 1988.
Very helpful! You guys are great!
No worries! That should be easy to find!
No picture of lugs but there are two described:
"1968 SHELBY 10-spoke Aluminum wheel lug nuts: long type, chrome plated steel; price each 17/24"
"1968 SHELBY 10-spoke Aluminum wheel lug nuts: for new re-issued wheels; includes washer; price each 17/25"
As for the valve stem, the picture shows the rim clearly and there is no valve stem on the rim so, I assume that it's inboard in the darkened area at 12 O'clock that can't be seen clearly.
Incidentally, the price list will bring tears to your eyes...Oh, for a time machine!
Whats the price??? I will guess about 149 each
I think they are selling original lugs and then the non chamfered ones for the repros
The price list with Catalog C is dated 1990 and specifically states "Cat C 1990". Price for the wheel is $169.95 ea. or a set of four for $650.00. There is no copyright notice on Catalog C.
Catalog F must be dated after C and later than 1988 like I previously thought. It has these prices...
- Wheels....$198.00 each, $780 set of four
- lug nuts: long type, chrome plated steel; price each....$3.75
- lug nuts: for new re-issued wheels; includes washer; price each....$3.00
Great info!
I recall buying a set of Nos 1968 hubcaps around 1990
My wife thought I was insane, the price was $600
So did a lot of people, just ahead of my time
I bought a set of 4 CS wheels from Branda 1984-85. Stil on the car today.
Too good! We are killing this
The amount of differences in these is incredible

You will have to be careful because Branda has been known to use older pictures that are different then current stock being sold. Smallblock Cobra valve covers comes to mind.
Good point Mr Gaines!
BDT- your info is invaluable
Can you check to see if your version has DOT script on back of spokes?
Pulled one of my wheels and no DOT. I did find my receipt it was dated March 3 1984.
Hope this helps

Excellent sir! Gold medal for you, thanks again
1977 was the year that DOT identification typically started to be stamped on aluminum after market wheels. Some MFG's purposely stamped the DOT ident on the inside of the rim . It would not be seen once the tire was mounted.
Thank you Mr Gaines....
