  • Wheel Pair Size: 8 X 15
Offered for sale is a pair of 8X15 FORD Magnesium Minilite OEM Racing Wheels. Beautifully restored and finished in a protective Chromate process.  These wheels are now looking for a new home, maybe a historic 1970 Ford BOSS 302! The wheel dimensions are as follows: Diameter 15x8 / Bolt Spacing: 5x4 1/2 bolt / Backspace: 4.5 inches. Both wheels are stamped with 33R and 15114.  Pure speculation, but these wheels may be from John McComb's 1967 FORD Shelby T/A coupe. Not confirmed, but all prior indications lead to that. Awesome piece of Trans Am racing heritage.  Keywords:  Parnelli Jones. George Follmer. Smokey Yunick. Carrol Shelby. SVRA.
