Help Identifying Wheels

[flat_six]

Carroll Shelby Wheels sold a 13 x 6" version of the "Western Wheel/Minilite" style called the Europa. It was never available in any 5-bolt pattern. (As I recall). That set of Europas wandered off into the market, probably at a Palm Springs Fan Belt toss/swap meet.

I have 2 sets of those Shelby Europas. 14 x 6.5. Both sets drilled for unilug (5 stud). I assume they came that way, but no way of confirming.

In about 1982 I ordered a set of the Shelbys from Pep Boys, but they sent the Western Superlites instead. So that's what I ran for decades, gold centers and all lol! Finally got the Shelbys, then REAL Minilites. When it rains, it pours...

Carroll Shelby Wheels sold a 13 x 6" version of the "Western Wheel/Minilite" style called the Europa. It was never available in any 5-bolt pattern. (As I recall). In the "olden" days, before litigation became so widespread, they happily sold me a set of un-drilled Wheels. I had them drilled to 5 on 4.75" for my Corvair. (This was 30 years before my "Bridgeport" adoption.) I pulled them when the tires died and 13" tires almost disappeared from the market. There used to be a couple of really good Corvair sizes available - the 195/70-13 from the GM J-car and the 205/70-13 from the early FWD X-cars. Both were great on a 6" wide wheel. That set of Europas wandered off into the market, probably at a Palm Springs Fan Belt toss/swap meet. Turn a set of Maxxis whitewalls around, those wheels would still be looking great on a Corvair. "Minilites" on a budget.

Interesting. I have a set of 13x6" Shelby (C.S.I) Europas, drilled 5x4.75. I got them for free from someone scrapping them...I ran them on my Autocross car until I needed wider tires!
