Default Correct Rims, Opinions Please

My 70 convertible has two rims that are not the proper date code for the vehicle, but they are corvette rims. Just wondering what most people think about the rims not having the right stamps.

The car is for driving and that is what I bought it for. However, is it a big deal for people, when I look at selling the car?

Thanks,
Rich

In NCRS Flight Judging, only the spare wheel is judged for date; you can't see it on the road wheels with the trim rings installed. Even if the spare wheel isn't date-correct, it's only a one-point deduction (out of 4500 for the whole car). If they're 15x8 "AZ" wheels, that's close enough for me.

Thanks for the information.

Also, does the 6 month window for numbers matching also apply to rims?

Yes, it does.
