[Shotimes] (OT) Shelby GT500 Convertible

[Ron Porter]

It's as Bill said......they are "too played out".

Similar to the Cragar SS wheels. If I "ever" see another set of those it
will be too soon!

I don't mind retro cars designs from the '60s, but wheel designs from the
'60s just look old and boring.

DARN!

That's what I get for expressing my opinion! <G>

Guess you guys aren't old enuf to remember those wheels on my '66 L88
Chevelle SS.

P.S.  Some other the other Cobra wheels are OK - just not those

I agree. I hate those Bullit rims. I do like the split spoke rims on the
GT500.
