Carrol Shelby Wheels! I have to look these up, see what all they fit, they might be worth a bit, maybe not. The centers need cleaned and chromed and 2 are cracked/split on a side.

I thought it strange to have Shelby wheels on a Toyota van though! I'll have to see if they fit my Shelby Daytona

Any kind of chrome proved to be too expensive versus the worth of the wheels. I used plastic weld to repair all the cracks on the centercaps, sanded and primed them. Hope to paint them tonight. I'm just going to use Rustoleum "chrome" spraypaint then clearcoat it. I got my wheels back from the mediablaster today so they will get powdercoated Sat.
