Chevelle Wheels

All wheels are 5-lug, 4-3/4" bolt pattern. All should have the size of the wheel and some type of manufacturer's trademark and is usually found on the inside of the wheel along with a series of numbers/letters such as 14x6 JJ. There will be a number stamped below or to the right of this alphanumeric series that represents the month. An example might look like K-1-7 4 DG for a 1967 rally wheel (DG) made at the Romulus, MI. plant in April of 1967 (K-1-7 4).

The workers stamping wheels didn't always follow this "rule" though as shown by this 1967 rally wheel.

Often found on the spider of the outside is the Kelsey-Hayes assembly date of the wheel.  An example would be K-1-0 where K is Kelsey-Hayes, the first 1 is the plant (1=Romulus, MI, 2=Windsor, ON, 3=Philadelphia, PA.) and the last digit is the model year, or 1970 in this case.

Often a Camaro wheel will find its way on a Chevelle. Note the differences in the Chevelle SS wheel in the top photo compared to a Camaro wheel in the bottom photo. The Chevelle wheel has an oblong opening for the valve stem where the Camaro wheel is round.

The 1971 and 1972 YF3 optioned "Heavy Chevy" were equipped with 14 x 6 rally type wheels with bright lug nuts and center cap. Essentially the same wheel was optional under RPO ZJ7 but have a bright trim ring and those (RPO ZJ7) were not available with neither the SS option nor the YF3 option. Other steel wheels with wheel covers were also not an option with either the SS or YF3 option.
