On my 66 I'm running the legendary 10 spoke 15X7 - utilizing 225/50/15 tires. My car has 1 inch Shelby drop and 1 inch lower front springs. So far so good - no rubbing issues. The wheels look really nice but are not perfect match to the originals, but close. I plan to send my original 14" wheels off to be restored and only use when showing. If you want see a picture i can load later. I'm at work right now and no pics on my work computer. My legendary 15X7 wheels balanced out very well taking very little weight. To make the wheels more visually appealing used stick on weights. I know this is not the exact wheel you asked about but I can speak to fitment and quality of my experience. I wanted the legendary 15" wheels for several reasons, affordable 2nd set wheels, better handling with lower sidewall tire, more tire options,  not damage original wheels, and modern CnC machined for better balancing.

I would prefer to by American made and do when I can,  but very often there is no other options. I hope this helps and good luck.  Fred

I'd love to see pictures. Are you running the same tire size in the rear?

Yep, we all use stuff made in China every day. And lots of stuff that is "Made in USA" is really stuff that is assembled here from parts made there.  I can have those original wheels that are made in the good ole US of A back on the car in about 10 minutes so never fear

I'm really looking to hear if others have tried it and what their experiences were. Trying to avoid rubbing of course and fit a little more tire under the car because my thing with these cars is driving them!

Has anyone tried the Legendary Wheels LW70 15x7 for fitment on the front a their car with the typical 1" drop?  It's intriguing as an option to shelve the 14" 10 spokes. Here is the wheel: https://legendarywheel.com/product/lw70/

I like the idea of a much looser version of this and would participate. 

I'm in search of an original 1968 Shelby hood.  I don't need the ram-air box for a KR, just the standard GT350/GT500 hood.  Please PM me with a price and location.  Thanks!

Just went and got a set of the legondary wheels , they are not the best ones and will be returning them ,   Made in China crap

My search will go on , coker sels the proper ones @ 420.00 each

I understand that the Lengendary brand wheels are more of a look-a-like than a true reproduction since they are a one piece aluminum design, but what other quality concerns did you have with them?

No, ram air duct hood not needed, need the standard GT350/GT500 hood.

New rental cars have been serviced under warranty just as if sold to private owners and that continues today.

TA's work pretty well when parked in the garage.  They are round and black and they hold air fairly well.  I'd say that their limitations include dry traction, cornering, wet traction, and would agree that snow traction is limited. 

The T/A Radials come in good sizes, but are terrible tires.  Looking forward to hearing what other options may be out there after a fairly exhaustive search myself in preparation for spring.

What was the advertised asking price?

That one is an auto so therefore Autolite.

Can someone ID this as real vs repo?  I've tried a good search but I'm not seeing the differences that some of you see at a glance.

My '67 GT500 was red when I got it. I strongly considered going white during restoration, and instead went with lime. I love it and am sure that I would have repainted it to that by now had I chosen the non-original white 20 years back.
