Hi--hope somebody has the answer----Guy is offering fairly cheap original rims for 1969 Shelby GT 500--cheap is $ 50 each--how do I distinguish between original and reproduction---unfortunately I have been cheated before--thank you  .Thanks, I need to be more specific---fellow claims that rims are original in fairly good shape. no actuall damage but they need to be recromed. Paradise will do recroming for $300 a piece. my problem is how do I determined if they are really original.

I will confirm what you are remembering . The updated version was the riveted ones. The recall was to replace the glued in ones with the riveted ones.

At $50 a rim you could use them on a shopping cart for that price.

Traded a nice glued in set a while back for a door.
