15x6 AR magnesium wheels
« on: October 30, 2015, 07:56:01 PM »
Searching for a pair of these wheels to buy; see attached photo. 

Made by American Racing, sometimes called D-spoke, sometimes called G/T wheel, sometimes called the R-wheel.  If I'm not mistaken, I think the 15x7 version of this wheel is run on many GT350s.

I have one pair of these 15x6 wheels; the photo is of one of them.  Looking for two more.

15X7 magnesium version was used on GT350 R competition model . Not many found there way on regular 65 GT350's  unless you mean the aluminum lower priced version that was so popular starting in the later 60's and were owner added.

Yes, I've read too that the 15x7 versions came with the GT350 R.  Not sure the extent of use for the 15x6 versions. 

There's a company called AKH Wheels in WA state that sells vintage wheels and accessories; here are some ads about the 15x6 wheel.  They won't break up the set of four wheels:

15X6 not used by Shelby.

Thanks for the clarification; 15x7 for Shelby. 

I don't see the magnesium 15x6 version very often either.  Any idea how available they are?
