Hi would like some help with wheel codes for ss wheels. They read 4 9 YA the 4 is on the left side of valve if looking from the top then comes the 9 than the YA. Would like to know what these are for. Thanks

Rick

Thats the Date code.
4=month,April
9=day
YA=Application code for SS Camaro-Nova-Chevelle-Elco.

Look to the left of the 4.You should see a M with a small number next to it.Thats the MFG. code,example M4 for Motorwheel.

Look under it to determine year rim was assembled.
Example=M4/8...8 is for last digit of year,1968.

Full YA assembled code is April 9th,1968 from Motorwheel.

Thanks for the help mr 70. It has M 1 Than a 9 under the m1.
So these wheels should be for a 1969? Thanks again for your help.

DOSE ANYONE KNOW WHEN THE SS WHEELS CAME INTO PRODUCTION AND WAS OFFERED ON CAMAROS

The only year Camaro received these wheels was on the 1969 model.
Colvin says the earliest SS 14X7 YA Magnum wheel found to date is 11/4/68.

When you type in Capitol letters,it means you are yelling.
Can you please not yell so often.

No one has ever come up with a documented Camaro (build sheet, window sticker, shipper copy, or GM of Canada documentation) that shows the SS wheels were installed as an option on a 69 Camaro.
