    Re-torqueing your Kelsy-Hays Magstar Wheels should be weekly must do!
    They loosen up regularly; causing missing lugnuts and in worse cases, wheels have come off.

    The best source for all wheels Shelby related I have found is craig connelly at:

    http://www.paradisewheelsinc.com/

    He refinished 5 original magstars for me and mounted and balanced them. His shop is low key but a complete museum for Shelby stuff. he has 4 65 Gt350's.
