Default Help Identifying Wheels

While cleaning my basement I found 4 - "FC" wheels painted body color w/COPO caps dated K-1-9. They look like 14"x6"? Anyone know what these were used on?

Kelsey-Hayes wheel from the Romulus MI plant in 1969.

FC was the 14x6 wheels for Camaro, All Drum ex. SS's

found on top of Page 321 in Chevy by the Numbers. Should be a smaller number to show the build month to the K-1-9 markings and then on the other side of the stem yet another number that is the day of the month.

(your no fun Rick)

FC wheels are also correct for '67 SS Camaros with drum brakes. Pretty sure '68 SS Camaros used them on both disc and drum cars. Probably more applications too.

They were FC in those years as well but these show a 69 date code

You know, I almost added: "Yes, I know they're '69 codes" to my post but I decided I didn't need to. You guys don't miss a thing!
