    Does anyone know the origin/age of a pair of wheels that i acquired with a car imported from the U.S to Australia?
    They are 14x7 polished aluminum, 5 rectangular windows, with the words SHELBY "CALIF. 500" cast in back. I'm guessing they were an aftermarket product from the MuscleCar era.

    Over the counter from Shelby Wheel division from late 60's -70's. Fairly common.

    These wheels were discussed on this forum some time ago.
    The Shelby CAL 500 wheels in size 15x7 were originally used
    on the 14 Shelby Europa made by Claude Dubois in Belgium
    in 1971-72. A friend of mine in Sweden owns one of these 14.
