15X7 Rally Wheel with FI code
Hi,
I have bought a set of four ralley wheels all coded K-1-7 2 23 FI. The seller said they came on a wagon but I never asked if that wagon was a Chevelle or a full size. When I try to find out more, all listings I find on the internet say that the FI ralleys are 15x6, but these are not 6" wide."Chevrolet by the numbers" by Alan L. Colvin say they are 15x6 and the model is 1969 Chevrolet "B" Wagon Rally. But the ones I have are 1967 wheels aren´t they, and they are 7" wide. Regards Anders

How are you measuring? Bead seat to bead seat, or overall width?
I have a pair of FI wheels and they are 15x6. Mine are riveted. Are yours riveted or spot welded construction? K

I have measured them bead set to bead seat and they are 7" wide, the same as my early 1969 Camaro AD-coded rally wheels. They are welded.
I don´t know how to post pics here anymore otherwise I would do so.

All of the FI wheels I’ve ever seen have been riveted 15x6” as well. I have seen FI wheels with later date codes (picture is of a 1980 wheel). Yours might be 1977 dates, before they added the second digit in the 80s and 90s. 1967 doesn’t make a lot of sense for a 15x7 wheel-they weren’t released and there weren’t really tires wide enough to warrant them.
