    I've inherited these rims from my father... They were made by Carroll Shelby, 14" rims, magnesium, 4 lug, but thats all I know.

    Anyone recognize these rims? I'll eventually want to sale them, but have no clue what I'm working with... Thanks for any assistance!

    Hey welcome to the forums!
    I have seen those center caps for sale on ebay recently.
    The wheels are definitly from the chrysler era i would think.

    Best Regards,
    Vern

    These wheels were from the late 70's thru the 80's. They are Shelby catalog wheels sold by dealers and were popular on Porche Datsun 240Z Saabs etc. They were like Minilites

    Yep. Carroll Shelby Wheels part number 013645-3. 13" x 6" "Mini-Europa" with a 4x4.5 bolt pattern. manufactured at the Gardena, Ca. plant from late 1979 thru 1986, when the wheel company was sold to a company called Exon. Not the gas, just another big conglomerate. I was the sale manager for many years, in case you were wondering.

    best!

    I had a set of these wheels on a 77 Toyota Corolla that I autocrossed extensively in Ga., Al., anf Fl. The year was 1981. Great wheels I wish I had them back.
