Hey Guys -
I bought these a couple of years ago and threw them in my attic... Disregard the way oversize rubber. I am trying to figure out if the CSI stamp means Carroll Shelby wheels... I don't have hub caps and I need to source some nice lug nuts... but I think with some 185/60r 14's they should dress up the little butterscotch 510 quite nicely...
Tire option suggestions would be great too...
Thanks!

In my searching... this is a really cool diagram that explains offset etc simply.

Pretty sure those are the same as mine. I believe mine to be Carol Shelby Minilites. They'll sandblast and polish nicely.

Caroll Shelby International (CSI) I agree with Vinnyz
BUT
Why not just call them Minilite-Style??!!!

I am content to call them Minilite-style... I was mainly just curious and thought brand might help me find some centre caps as well...

Worth a shot at trying AKH for center caps:
