Shelby Cobra rims in GM bolt pattern???

I wonder if these rims are real. I don't know who the guy is or have anything to do with the sale. I just wonder if what he says is valid.

[Would they fit a 3rd gen???]

Basically he says that Carol Shelby tried to break in GM parts and not just Ford.

Back in the early 80's , Shelby had his own line of wheels to fit various makes of vehicles, not just ford.

of course I would remove the cobra sticker for a firebird one but looks like a GN owner snagged them up. $300 was a good deal. I still have 90lb each steel chrome wheels.

Those actually look pretty close to the late '70s Z28 wheels.
