Should be no problem to find a 4th wheel to make a set huh??? :-\

They are 10 spokes.

At some point, someone put them on a mill or lathe and removed the raised portions (ribbing) of the spokes.

Leaving a flat spoke. If someone wanted to make a fourth, it could be done.

Have you seen the "reverse" taper before?

I think we can rule out them being from 1966 or having an "S2" part number?

Don't know that you'll find anything here and there is a lot of info to sift through, but if you're not familiar with it already, this is a great resource.

+1, 66 originals. I've seen a few sets done like this, not sure why anyone would want to do it...

They were 15 inch ?

Looking at photos they do look similar...I-can see it

66 10-spokes are 14-inch. I've found people unfamiliar with wheel dimensions sometimes measure the total OD and quote that, which is 15 inches in this case.

So, Im going with it is...

A modified 1966 rim that has been measured incorrectly

Thank you everyone

My guess is since they have been mutilated, they are next to worthless. Just my opinion, one man's

98SVT - was 06GT

Since multiple sets have been seen I'd wager they were done by CS's wheel company as an attempt to update wheel styling
to keep selling them - or not........

Not a big deal ether way because they are undesirable regardless but I am of the opinion this was not a CS wheel company variation but modified by someone else.

It would be interesting to see if they would balance.
