Hello everyone,

I was directed here from the 914 Facebook group. I have been searching for info on these wheels. I was told they are pretty rare. I have not been able to find even another photo of them. Does anyone know what the name of them is? All I know is they are from Carroll Shelby's line of wheels.

Thanks!

I have a set of these 15 x 7 Shelby Rims...thinking about throwing them on my CNC and converting to 911 bolt pattern, 5 X 130mm

I have found quite a few of that style. Absolutely nothing on the ones I posted.

There's a lot of different 4 lug wheels due to all the aftermarket support for VW's. While many of them might be uncommon, rare usually implies some greater value that most do not have.

Never seen anything like them.
Do they have a stamped model number or anything?

Aluminum or Magnesium?

I'd also ask on Samba as they were probably sold as VW wheels, and not so much 914 wheels.

I had found that image on the samba but unfortunately nothing when used in a search. OEM or O.E.M. is way too broad.

Different style, but more Shelby wheels on The Samba. Old school slots.
