mstieg Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Found these and want to be sure they're SHP 9s. Despite the seller's assurance they are, they look like 8s to me. I'm asking for pics of the codes inside to verify before going further. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g37/pepepingo54/photo12.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g37/pepepingo54/photo4.jpg Besides the codes & eyeball test, what are the identifying differences? Same goes for 8" rears vs. 8" front SHPs (they have different spacing and aren't really swappable from what I've read). There used to be an old post on this, but I couldn't find it.

89PalermoSHP Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Not SHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Those are not SHP rims. Part of the offset change is the bevel at the hub, look for that also the logo http://www.b2600turbo.com/images/shprear.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstieg Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I didn't buy these. Just found em on an ad last night and talked to him today. He is certain that he has 7s & 9s that he bought for to use on a diff. car but claims they were too wide for his fenders. I'm asking for pics of the code stamped inside before bothering to meet up and see em. Thanks for the good pic Indy. Its easier to tell at an angle but the specifics will help this process since so many people get em confused.

vbrad511 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Look at the gray painted area by the valve stem. See the little icon there? All wheels have them, but SHP wheels have them inset in a little recessed square box. It'll be obvious. No square, no SHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstieg Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks for the help guys. Brad & Indy - I assume the same box around the stamp is an indicator of front 8" SHPs, vs a standard non-SHP rear? How about the recessed center lines? That pic of yours is money btw Indy. FYI - here's the link to the CL ad that brought this up:My linkhttp://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/pts/2276223984.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 All SHP rims, front and back have the box.Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear 8's will rub if put up front. so two of those are shp, the other two are not. You can see the boxes clear as day.

Just look at Robert's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear 8's will rub if put up front. so two of those are shp, the other two are not. You can see the boxes clear as day. You're right. The 2 above look like my standard 8s. Rabbit's right that the other 2 on that listing are SHPs (see below). How can we tell those are SHP 9s, vs. SHP 8s? Do the SHP 8s have the same center bevels near the cap? If these are 9s, I'll want em. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g37/pepepingo54/photo5.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g37/pepepingo54/photo6.jpg Edited March 24, 2011 by mstieg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstieg Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Nevermind, the code on the inside of the rim should tell if 8s or 9s. Still any other indicators of SHP 8s vs SHP 9s would be helpful while checking out ads with front pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) on the back side of the spokes, it'll say 8x16 and ET18 for the SHP 8, for the rear 9... 9x16 and ET0 NON-shp's will say 7x16 ET18 and 8x16 ET-10 Plus the "bow" of the spokes will be much more on the 9's, the 8's will be flatter, here's my SHP set when I was last stripping them of paint (9's are on the right, 8's to the left and rear) http://26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/10030/wheels01.jpg Edited March 26, 2011 by D_Venable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
