    Anybody know more about these rims, can only find repro's listed as V48. Need a cap for one, may put on market after.

    Is that a 4x100mm bolt pattern? I would guess they are for early Dodge front wheel drive cars. The Carroll Shelby Wheels company made wheels for many different vehicles. Besides Dodge, I have seen them used on Chevrolet, Volvo, and even Ford cars. :)

    Thanks, they're on a 71 240Z now but what I would really like to know is how to find a cap for one?

    I have seen similar caps on eBay from time to time. They have always had a black finish instead of the silver. You may want to check with shelbymotorsports (aka Steve Thornton). He specializes in Shelby Dodge parts but he might be able to get a lead on what you are after.

    Carroll's son Patrick used to run the wheel company. Carroll started it, and the wheels were pretty popular around the sports car set back in the 70's and 80's. I have a set for an early Mustang up in the attic somewhere. But mine were different and had different center caps.
