65 Shelby 15"x5.5" Steel Wheel. $1,100.00. This is one single wheel.
Correct CatEye cutout.
Welded back
Fomoco stamp
KH Stamp.
Is this a factory wheel or a reproduction? Thanks
Date code is 12-60, i.e. December 1960.
Texas Swede
This is not a reproduction wheel. This wheel has all the correct Fomoco and Kelsey Hayes stampings.
I hope the experts will correct me if I am wrong on my answers:
It's my understanding the early 65 used this exact wheel. It's also my understanding the 6" wheel was used on later 65's. I do not know when the change was made. Possibly Craig C. would know. The 5.5" wheel is welded on the back. The 6" wheel is riveted.
The original wheels should have the Fomoco stamp as well as the K-H (Kelsey Hayes) stamp on the face of the wheel. I would also assume the wheels would have a 64/65 date code. The date code cannot be seen when the tire is mounted.
