My vote is for the ten-spokes..I have the chrome GT capped SSW on mine and will be switching them out this spring for some ten-spoked shelby wheels. I am in for a group buy!! lets do it lol

I also like the 10 spokes. Do most people use 15 x 7 ? I like the BF Goodrich tires. What is the best tire size to fit the car? What have most owners used? I do plan on lowering the front about 1". I also like the fat in back, and the white letter out. Thanks

Hi
If you want to connect with Shelby why just consider the 10 spoke? The '67 Shelby 5 spoke were available to go on a GT/CS if you wanted. I have 10 spokes waiting on go on my car but am switching over to the 5 spoke instead. I want the bright Chrome look instead of the polished aluminum and they are easier to clean!

I want to say thanks to this thread I am now considering pulling out for my garage my old 10 spokes and using them instead of the SS rims. I am easily lead astray. Doug

I was wondering about cleaning them. They look like they have a lot of dirt-holding nooks and crannies. Does anyone have pros or cons on keeping thier 10-spokes clean?

...I just use the pressure sprayer & follow up w/ soap and brush. But mine aren't polished like the ones you plan on stealing from that red car ;-)
