Correct style trim rings for 1967 SS396 Chevelle with disc brakes
 
I have a friend who just picked up a nice ‘67 SS396 with the wrong wheels on it. Factory disc brake car so it needs some DG stamped 14x6 Rallys (anyone have a set?), but I see conflicting suggestions over what are the right style of trim rings, mostly in terms of the detail around the valve stem opening. If one of you here who knows ‘67’s well could chime in with descriptions (and hopefully photos) of what you think are the right ones, I’d appreciate it. Its an 03D Kansas car, btw. Thanks!

Really good evidence for U shape during the period in question on DG's for Camaro.

This 375hp car featured in the July ‘67 Motor Trend has factory disc brakes & rally wheels. Those look like the shallower U shaped cutouts to my eye, but its hard to tell for sure. Looks like some gap between the edge of the ring and the inside face of the wheel.

"IF" 14x6 1967 and 1968 are same?

I have run a hodgepodge of rings. Finally Pulled what I believe are the correct 14x6 versions in my attic.
If 67/68 are similar ?? Not sure.

I have ran a set of 14x7 (1969) four clip rings on the red 68 for years and am transitioning to the slotted shallower rings vs- 1969 ellipse deeper rings.

'67 DG wheels on a Chevelle used the 2 1/2" oval hole 4 clip ring whereas Camaro used a slotted ring.

I have a set of 5 DG wheels dated 12/66, if your interested.
