DG coded Rally wheels
 
2 Attachment(s)
Need the experts opinions here. Ran across these Rally wheels and I know they made both a DC and DG coded wheel at some point. Does the stamp look more like a DG.? Any help appreciated

I think this is an easy answer.

DG is a 14

DC is a 15

ThanX

Respectfully, I will dissent with this opinion. I understand that in 1967, 15X6 Corvette rally wheels were usually coded DC but that there exists some coded DG (I've had a few myself) - the 14" DG are of a small font and show the other typical stampings by the valve stem - date et cetera - those were full size / wagon rims as I understand it (I have some of these too). The so-called large DG stampings do not have any other stampings by the valve stem hole and are 15X6 - check inside the wheel hoop, you'll see the other markings in addition to "15X6".

That said, the ones shown in the OP are likely 15" and 1967 Corvette rims and I think they're DG based on my experience.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Anthony

Here's a real 67 14 inch stamped wheel. No other markings.

Hey Jim, those look like DG but the stamp was off. DC would be much more abrupt at the lowest side of the C stem
