1967 Camaro Wheels
 
I was wondering if the 1967 Camaro was available with the painted wheels and dog dish caps like the '69? I like that look and I have a '67 Camaro I am restoring but I don't want to do it if it wasn't factory.

Yes, from what I am told, but the Dog Dish caps were a little different than the 68-9's. (I just asked this question recently)

Yes and they look real good. Everybody has rally's or aftermarket wheels but you rarely see painted wheels and dog dish caps on a 1967 Camaro. Here is a picture of my car before I switched back to ...yes rally's.

Great! The only thing I could think of was the full wheel covers. Were these 14" only? Also, does anyone repro these caps or know where I can get a set? I have a set of the small '67 style rally caps if anyone wants to trade.

What about tires? Redline only or could you get white letters? I am doing a Baldwin-Motion clone but nothing says muscle to me than painted wheels.

I did a search for these wheels a little while back. I put discs on my '67 so I put American Racing rims to clear the calipers. I missed the stock look of the dog-dish caps that my car came with (that I stupidly tossed!!) so I got a set of disc brake steel wheels and did a search for the style of hubcaps shown above. Nobody repros them, but you should be able to find in a junkyard or ebay (where I got mine). They came on '14 rims for Camaros, Novas and Chevelles in '67. The '66 dog dish caps are very similar but painted a little different.

The 1966 dog dishes found on Chevelles have a black center with a chrome bowtie. Not correct for the Camaro. As mentioned this style dog dish is not reproduced and if you want a mint or close to mint set they can be pricy. I searched a long time until I found a set that were very close to show quality.

I might be interested in trading my dog dishes for the 67 rally centers if they are GM. I have set of repop center caps right now but want GM. Let me know.

Hey Rick,

I believe these are factory GM caps. I have had them for many years and they are close to perfect. I don't see any scratches or dings. The letter and bow tie paint will need to be redone. I would love to trade if you are interested.
