Title: 66 Shelby wheels help on verification
Post by: Gregory177 on October 12, 2023, 08:37:40 PM
I just purchased these 66 shelby rims from Mustang masters and just trying to verify they are correct for a 66 shelby. Something tells me I might not have got the correct rims. Thank you for any help on verifying these.

Fast Freddy (owner) will rip you off in a heart beat.

If all of them look like your last picture they are not correct.

I remember seeing a set of Magnum 500's advertised as 1966 Shelby GT350 wheels. They were the Chrysler version with the near 4.0 inch back spacing.  The hoop has the same marking as the GT350 wheel, JK 795C 14X6.  Send them back and make him pay return shipping.  Ebay is pretty good about return shipping, especially when items are "Not as advertised".

Below is the image of the wheels that I saw on auction.  Did you get these?  Auction No. 374832115315.

Best of luck

Cory

      +1  :)

      And, that really has been his nickname from decades ago, given to him by his fellow swap-meet vendors, but for other reasons than as here!   :o

That scrawny little rat has been ripping folks off for at least 30 years.  What's that old saying? "Trust but verify".  With Fast Freddy, don't trust and be sure to verify!

Fast Freddy has a bad reputation. He worked hard over many years to get it. Buyer beware.

If the OP did purchase the wheels on Ebay then a opening a claim is the appropriate first step. Be sure to do this before you contact Freddy . Ebay will tell you to contact seller and if in so many days things aren't resolved that they will step in. The important thing here is that the refund clock starts counting down from the point forward so the seller can't mess you around and waste your time. When a claim is opened   Ebay always follows that protocol so why waste any time knowing that.  Remember the keyword is misrepresentation in the description. Ebay is very consumer oriented . FYI so is PaypaL . l if you paid that way .  I had the impression however that the wheels in question that the OP posted were not bought through EBAY but Freddy directly. I hope that I am wrong.
