Will I EVER get some fiberrides?

[89CSX#17]

I have been trying for a year now to get some fiberrides for my CSX. I have managed to get all the other pieces that were missing, like the front and rear air dams, the windshield sticker,etc. I did purchase a single fiberride back in December on ebay. I tried to get a set that was just on ebay, but they had been painted white and the reserve wasn't met at $500. Plus the seller wouldn't answer my e-mail. Does anyone out there in Shelby land have a set of four, three,two or even one that I can buy? I'm really trying to bring my car back to it's former glory after a life in the wrong hands of a careless owner.

If you don't have any luck, I will take that 1 off your hands if it's a wide option :-) "as if" right? I know as well as you how hard these are to find. And my CSX is a wide tire option. I have 3 in excellent condition but have had a heck of a time finding 1 more . . which width fiberride are you trying to find. If you hear anything about a wide rim and you are only looking for the standard one, please point them my way and I will take it off their hands. Otherwise, good luck with your search.

Rookies...

Funny I don't feel like a rooky since I have been a member since April 2005. But I will certainly respect your admin status and your 9,000 posts And I will admit my post displayed some rookie etiquette. A few too many Miller Lite's tonite I'm afraid. hey, but at least I caught my error and called myself out before anyone else could

HUH? I guess I'm the rookie. I thought the Rims were All the same size just a different tire size.

+1, i thought the wide tire option was the tire itself, coming in 225 width.....had no idea there was 2 diffferent width fiberides?? i take it one is 6.0 and other is 6.5?? like crabs?

or were they lucky enuff to get 6.5 and 7.0 in width?!

This material is stronger yet lighter than a comparable aluminum wheel and is quite exotic for a production car. The wheels were molded in a gold color; embossed into one spoke (and impossible to see in this small picture) is the SHELBY name. They measured 6.5" in width and had a 40mm offset."

[shadowjake]

so the wide tire option was only the tire and not the rim? I guess I just assumed since it is an option that makes a car more rare that it was the rim. The tires can be replaced with bigger ones and noone would know. Is there a database or anything that tells which cars (shelby #) came with the wide option? Thanks.

[street_racer]

yes there is a list that says what cars got what options.
