The most distinctive way to ID the Shelby wheels - even with the paint stripped - is that they had "CARROL SHELBY" cast into the rim. The Silverspokes made by Ronal have RONAL cast into the rim. Both are visible from the outside with the wheel mounted.
Also, the 88- version of the Silverspokes (or one variant thereof...) had a polished lip like the Shelbys or the 16" Aero wheels.
I think that the -87 pattern silverspokes were all made by Ronal, but not all of the later ones...
