One of the wheels was not a Shelby, different backspacing, weighed more, but the seller did refund a sizable amount. I found one wheel from a wheel dealer in Washington (AKH if I recall correctly) that matched, but different brand. It took a day to clean each wheel, but from across the parking lot they look okay. The wrong wheel is the spare. The cool thing, saved about 10 pounds per wheel. I also painted the slots black.
Finally got these back, two months after I sold the '69. They have gained a patina that matches this '68.
