I just bought 5 ARE Libre (or Libre reps??) and I want to identify the manufacturer. Four of the wheels do not have "American Racing Equipment" stamped on them. The fifth wheel is clearly stamped "Shelby". These are 13x5 with a POD of 4x113.4.
Can anyone help me figure out exactly what I have. There are some stampings but none indicate manufacturer. Tomorrow I will take them to the car wash and get the back side clean so I can take pictures.
Thank you
Sounds like a small Datsun, type of bolt pattern. Like a 1200, maybe 510?
In reply to gjz30075:
They came off a Datsun 510.
Shelby wheels were sold through the Datsun dealers; they were made by American Racing Equipment. These are the ones on my 2000
Mine are different but thanks for the info on the Shelby wheel.https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fi491.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Frr274%2Fsfbaycl%2FDatsun%2520Parts%2FDSCN3908.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.ratsun.net%2Ftopic%2F30155-fs-13x55-13x7-libre-wheels-staggered%2F&docid=mdJY-LVneZYM2M&tbnid=oRlSBe5XwBXcXM%3A&w=1024&h=768&bih=631&biw=1366&ved=0ahUKEwivl4fpmLHPAhWHYyYKHYMTAH0QMwgqKAwwDA&iact=mrc&uact=8
I can't see your pics but these are a set I owned years ago; pic above was to show that Shelby offered wheels through the dealer but they were made by ARE
Chandler, I have a set like that for my Bugeye sprite that say "Shelby Viper" on the insides. IIRC mine are a 4x4 bolt pattern.
I do not think that you could fit 13 x 5's on a Viper, but part of me wants to see it if just to laugh.
(yeah, pretty sure they predate the dodge viper)
