Back in the 80's Carroll Shelby was building some great little hot rods based on fwd Chrysler platforms. The Shadow based 89 CSX had fiberglass reinforced plastic rims called fiberides. They were lighter than the alloy wheels but never really took off and to find a 89 model with those is EXTREMELY rare considering that they only made 500 of the Shelby CXTs. The wheels were fine for road use, but on road couses many of our Shelby/Dodge Auto Club members have found that the centers start to melt causing the lug holes to soften up and wallow out!
