Early Corvairs have a 4-1/2" bolt pattern. Late Corvairs are 5 bolt. So, it wouldn't be a simple bolt on affair. The comments did mention Cosmics which came on my Tiger. I have the mentioned American Racing Libre on my Datsun 510. Certain steel factory wheels are getting pricey too. A nice set of Mopar Cop Car wheels with drilled hubcaps are in the $400 range. I have a set of those on my Valiant. SSP wheels and hubcaps from the Fox body Mustang police cars are in a similar price range. These fit the Tiger's 4 X 4-1/4". Look alike wheels came on the more common late 80's T-Bird. I have a set of those for the Tiger too. I think Jere Teppen had them on his old Sunbeam. So many people had alloys on their Datsun Z cars that the factory steel Topy wheels were a disposable afterthought but are now pricey. I have three of those (and looking) for my Corvair station wagon.

Someone on the list suggested it meant Carroll Shelby Industries. This made sense because the center caps all had the Shelby logo on them. I contacted the Shelby factory in Las Vegas where they put someone on the phone that confirmed they were a very rare set of wheels from a wheel company Carroll Shelby started and then decided to sell. I believe he said they were sold by Western Auto stores. I don't recall him mentioning who bought the company, but only the wheels produced under Shelby ownership would have had the CSI on them. Once Shelby sold the company the CSI letters were no longer used. If you have a set of Minilite style wheels that you think came from Western Auto back in the 1960's you might clean them up and check the back of the rims to see if the letters CSI are molded into the rim. It may be you too have a rare set of wheels made by Carroll Shelby Industries.?Dan Eiland?Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S? 6 edge. -------- Original message --------From: Bill Lawrence Date: 1/28/21 8:47 AM (GMT-07:00) To: tigers at autox.team.net Subject: Re: [Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 14, Issue 12 Hey Tigers, I also have the Western Minilites on my 65 Tiger.?

But I?ve seen center caps with tiny set screws along the inside. Is there enough meat to drill and tap some holes?

I recall, when I had my Tiger, that when I was restoring it I came across the letters CSI molded into the backside of my Minilite style wheels. Someone on the list suggested it meant Carroll Shelby Industries. This made sense because the center caps all had the Shelby logo on them. I contacted the Shelby factory in Las Vegas where they put someone on the phone that confirmed they were a very rare set of wheels from a wheel company Carroll Shelby started and then decided to sell. I believe he said they were sold by Western Auto stores. I don't recall him mentioning who bought the company, but only the wheels produced under Shelby ownership would have had the CSI on them. Once Shelby sold the company the CSI letters were no longer used. If you have a set of Minilite style wheels that you think came from Western Auto back in the 1960's you might clean them up and check the back of the rims to see if the letters CSI are molded into the rim. It may be you too have a rare set of wheels made by Carroll Shelby Industries.
