[Shotimes] (OT) Shelby GT500 Convertible

[Donald Mallinson]

Ron,

There are a lot of 60's wheels that still look good, the Crager actually 
is a classic and will always have a place, at least on certain cars. 

How about the classic Minilite wheel on MG's and Mini's?   Looked great 
then, still looks great.

Some people just don't like retro, and in that case, more power to you.  
I like retro if done right, more power to me too!  :)  It is all just 
self expression, and very individual.
