I was doing some garage cleanup on Friday and pulled out these two old rally rims from a deep dark corner. Not sure what they originally came on and was hoping someone can help decode the numbers.

The first is a 14 x 7 rim marked "K-1-9" in the center by the lug holes. By the valve stem it is marked:

K-1-0 1 (valve stem here) 28 YM

Here's a pic:





The second rim is a 15 x 8. Marked K-1-8 by the lug holes and by the valve stem:

K18 8 (valve stem here) 20 AG

And here's a pic of the second rim:




TIA to whomever can help.

...if I'm remembering correctly, the K-1-9(or 8), should be Kelsey Hayes, Plant #1, 1969. Same thing except 1968 for the second wheel.

First wheel should be Jan 28, 1969. "YM" is the model of the wheel. Not a '69 Corvette wheel which should be "AZ". Maybe Camaro, Monte Carlo, Chevelle SS wheel.


Second wheel should be August 20, 1968. This "AG" is a 1968 ONLY Corvette wheel. It should also be a 15 x 7 inch wheel.

Thanks for your replies.

After a bit of searching online I found that the YM wheel is likely for a Chevelle. As for the AG wheel, I was going to keep it as a spare for my 75 coupe but after finding that it's a 68 only vette wheel and the wrong size, I guess I'll see if anyone wants/needs it for a restoration project.

During my search I found the following info on Rally Wheel codes and thought I'd add it here for someones future reference. FWIW.

Thanks once again for the info guys!

* All the rally wheels made in 1967 have big marking letters, no date code, a little bit different shaped center and slightly bigger holes in the center.
* The 15x7 beauty ring will go on all the 15x6 wheels.
* All the hubcaps interchange with each other.
