Wheels 120-130

Howdy,
I can't remember if it was this board or not but some time back there was a discussion on Shelby wheels. I just picked up 6 along with some other 120 series stuff. Guess the best being two new in the box rear quarter panels and the complete new interior for a coupe.
Now my question is how do I tell if the wheels are the real deal and what's with the not so round holes? They're close to perfect,no curb rash or dings.
The wheels are 14X6" Shelby and 1/2 pos o/s is on the inner casting. If these are authentic what might they worth?

The oval holes might be 'unilugs' (I think that was the buzzword). They allowed use of the wheels on both 4.5 inch Fords (et al) and 4.75 inch GM products. Either special washers or special lugnuts (or both?) are used.

After looking at the photos, I doubt these are "unilug" wheels. Unilugs were meant to take different oval shaped bolt inserts. On your Shelby rims, the holes just look oblong, like they were enlarged on one side with a rattail file. Or suffered from wrong lug nuts being used.
