Not likely to find one at a swap meet, but hope springs eternal! The last one I saw for sale was over 20 years ago.

They were only used on Z16's. Don't be fooled by any of the stories that they were used on some sort of station wagon too.

No codes by the valve stem. GM65 stamp between two of the wheel stud holes. Punched hole between two others.

From the front they look just like a 66 Chevelle SS 6-code 14x6 wheel, and have the same offset. (Not like the deeper dish Impala C-code 14x6 wheel, and not like the "in between" Camaro FC-code 14x6 wheel).

But the outer rim is disc brake clearance shaped, not the 66-68 Chevelle drum brake outer rim. And there is only a small, tapered tire bead catch on the rear bead area, not the big hump you see on disc brake rally wheels.

And the center is riveted to the outer rim with counter sink rivets, not welded.

Good luck!!
