I have a '94 Branda catalog showing 10-spoke wheels.
Don't know if this helps, but was easy enough to do.

Very helpful, now we need to creep back and see when these reissues started

We will solve the puzzle of these wheels. This identifies a "second" version of the CS wheel co sold by Branda.

Im guessing from what I have seen Branda starting selling wheels in the mid 1980s

That is the straight non tapered version in the catalog picture. It seems like that they were selling a different version in the early 80's.

So I have a non tapered spoke/valve on rim/ flat lug design in 1994 above

It looks like they changed to the new repro design non tapered spoke / valve on rim/ chamfered lug around 2010?

Looking to confirm and or add to that info

The catalogs are very good source of info

We should be able to start bracketing the types being sold

I have a "Branda catalog C" shown on the upper left of the front cover with no date anywhere. The '68 10-spoke picture is on the bottom of p.17 and so dark you can't see the valve stem which I believe may be at 12 O'Clock. They are tapered spokes. The description reads:
1968 SHELBY 10-spoke Aluminum wheels: 15X7; currently being reproduced by Carroll Shelby; includes lug nuts and correct center cap. 17/23

Thank you sir!

Catalog c is an early catalog, most likely mid 80s. Can you identify the lugs used?

With or without a "washer"?

The valve stem appears to be on rim and not between spokes?

FWIW, I have a 'Catalog F' which does not have a published date anywhere. Has the same exact photo as Jim's image in reply# 4 above although on page 23 instead of 21.

Catalog F okay! Im finding the copyright inside the front cover or first page. Im thinking F is 1987?

I think the valve stem is on rim at five o clock? Would you agree?

Correct, 5:00!  Copyright is on 1st page but oddly no date.  I'm guessing 1988. Believe this is my first Branda catalog I got shortly after buying my 66 in 1987, it was delivered to the house we moved into in 1988.
