Dave, the JJ you've posted doesn't show up on any list I've found as a "Wheel Code", it does show up as a "Rim Code" on a lot of different rally wheels.

Look on the wheel for a Wheel Code next to the valve stem hole. It should correspond to one of the codes in the left column here...

DA 14X5 B-3 7/8 67 Chevy II RALLY with disc brakes
DG 14X6 67 Camaro & Chevelle with dics brakes
XB 14X6 B-4 3/8 67 Chevelle SS, 68-69 Chevelle with F-70 Tires, 70 Chevelle

This will tell you what the wheels were originally for. This list is not all inclusive by the way.

Good luck... GUSTO

I think that has to do with the bead design and shape.

Are they ralleys or steel wheels? 63-66 Corvette steel wheels are 15x5 1/2 (as were the optional 57-62 wheels). 67 ralleys were the only Corvette wheels ever used in the 15x6 size. 65-66 OEM wheels are "J", and the service replacement ones are "JK"s, I think.

JohnZ

Nope. No Corvette ever used a 15x6 wheel with the "JJ" rim section code.

JohnZ

'65-'66 Corvette 15" x 5-1/2" steel wheels used the "JK" rim section, and so did the '67 6" rally wheel.

Does anyone have a comprehensive list for regular steel wheels?

My 65 had 15x6 rims with the nubs by the valve stem when I got it...they have a code of FL

I've tried to identify these here and on google and have come up empty.

JohnZ

Those might be the old "8080" Service wheels. Corvette steel wheels didn't have any code stamping adjacent to the valve stem until the 1967 "B", "DC", and "DG" rally wheels. The "JJ" and "JK" stampings referenced above are the SAE rim cross-section design codes, and are stamped in the rim area covered by the tire; '66 rim stampings shown in the photo below.

Are you saying the rim pictured is correct for a 66 Corvette?? Dave

JohnZ

Yes, it is; 15x5-1/2 JK, manufactured March '66.

65specialk

My wheels are stamped 15X5 1/2 JK 8 64 .
So these should be correct for my early 65?? Dave

JohnZ

Yup, sounds good to me.
