Re: 68 Yenko wheel
[ QUOTE ]
THEY MOST LIKELY USED A 14X6 68 GTO/FIREBIRD WHEEL WHICH HAS THE CODE [JC] AND I BELIEVE THEY CHANGED THE INSERTS WITH A SPECIALLY MADE ONE.  [/ QUOTE ] While I don't know what the codes were, i was told that the wheels were 7 inches wide, and were selected because it was the cheapest 7 inch wide "mag style" wheels that Yenko could purchase. The center cap was specially made with a red "Y" instead of the PMD logo. No trim rings were used.

Re: 68 Yenko wheel
The JC was for a drum brake car. It would not clear the 4 piston calipers that were on the front of the 68 Yenko's.
The right wheel should have been a JA coded wheel GM# 525708 which also was a 14x6. I don't show a 14x7 Rally-II being available in 1968.
