Its probably just a shelby center cap.

Kinda like these:










The 6-lugs were probably for the trucks to run. Don't the ford trucks have 6lugs??

I know center caps can be changed, I have Pontiac centers on Mustang wheels.

That's a sale/example photo, so it had me a bit off.

EDIT: Shelby does make aftermarket wheels.

Where'd you get them from? I'm finding them on ebay, but only for the set of 4.

Those are dam impressive! How much heavier are they over stock? Can you weigh a stock wheel/tire and the drag set up for me?

Also, what tire pressue did you use? My car is happy with 16-18psi depending on track prep and weather. I would recommend some spring blockers for the rear too.

I have hit 1.9's with my set up with goobs of tq down low. I was hooking dam good the last time I went out.
1.7's is my goal so I am hoping for 12.3's. with traction only.
Can't wait for gears and conveter!!

Get som blue masking tape and tape off your fenders and doors.
Nothing like doing a 80mph burnout with rocks stuck the tires and flinging out. I have a bunch of new chips now
