Does this look like an orginal '66 Magnum?

Ad states original "restored" steel wheel. Implies original Shelby wheel, but shape looks different than other original painted Magnums I have seen

One really needs more photos and/or measurements to know for sure.  Based on the provided pictures it appears to be a correct '66 Magnum.  My judgement is partially based on the appearance of the center section of the wheel being mounted some distance (maybe 1/2") below the rest of the wheel.  That's the way it appears to me.  More info definitely needed.

From what I see the section of the wheel in question looks different than the one I show here. The section circled looks much deeper and maybe flatter than the one in the for sale ad.

The wheel may be original as the description implies but not original to a 66 GT350. Rim profile and offset appears to be the similar Mopar wheel from the picture IMO as I sit here typing with a genuine 66 GT350 wheel beside me.
