1969 1968 Chevelle SS SS396 14X6 standard steel wheels CODE XE
Hi again Gang, I have three Chevelle disc brake plain steel wheels - the so-called dog dish ones available here.
Just rescued from yet another resto mod of a 1969 convertible. They spin straight and have only a minor rim nick or two as shown. One sat for the longest time face up and rusted a bit in the spider web as also shown. Lug holes good and not wallowed out. I believe these are SS / SS396 plain wheels - they will certainly clear disc calipers - both four and single piston versions of 1968 and 1969. Will fit many other GM cars of the era as well of course. Only three available as shown - the fourth wheel was / is a rally - a YW ralley I believe... that one will be for sale tomorrow and I'll post an ad for it... Priced individually at the beginning of the ad. Not getting any easier to find, these... No dates by the valve stem - just faint "XE" stampings as shown. Clearer in person; takes some imagination through these photos; sorry about that. The inside hoops and beads of the wheels are very nice - I just removed the ancient tires yesterday; two bumps by the valve stem hole as well, of course. These are absolutely as found, and I suspect, original black paint - but, of course, I cannot be totally sure on that - just using context clues. Take a look at the photos again, these are hard to find rims anymore, IMHO. Cheers Friends, Anthony |

BUMP.
Had a recent inquiry asking if these were identical to the (apparently) more popular XF wheels. At first glance, they do look similar... I'd have to research the specs to be sure though. |
