Thanks for the pictures Dave.  The font looks the same to me, spacing on the stamping look consistent/the same.  Looks like a match to me.  Anyone else care to comment?

Thanks for the link.  6 weeks to 2 months prior to production seems to be the norm based on what I have read.  From other posts and discussions with Legend Judge a 69 09C production came with 08 04 dated wheels.  What I am seeking to determine is if these are restamps or originals.

Decoding/Numbers / Seeking input to access originality of YH Wheels

« on: December 13, 2023, 04:02:01 PM »

I have been searching for a full set of YH date correct wheels for my Z-28 for a couple of years. I came across this pair (2) so bought them on the spot fearing they wouldnt stick around long. I would like to get some input from the experts about their originality. Additional stampings include the 15 x 7 JJ stamp on the barrel and the K 1 9 stamp near the center of face as well. I know a lot of parts get restamped/fakes of originals produced. Is that the case with these?   If anyone has a known original set of K 1 9  8 hole 4 wheels it would be revealing to compare stampings.
I appreciate any and all input. If there are any specific features that would help identify original YH wheels just ask or PM me and I will take more pictures to share.
Thanks

Badshifter,
Just one check that I thought of after my previous post, you might have already know and have done this.  69 Camaro's were produced in Sept 68, 09C and Sept 69 also 09C.  Your vin should be in the 68X,XXX range to be a 1969 09C car.   The wheels appear to be August 1969 which others have confirmed are correct for their 1969 09C Norwood cars. 
BTW there are vin dates by month on this site that you can use to confirm against your Cowl Tag.

Badshifter, Id say you struck gold.... 
I also have a 09C 69 Z (NOR) and have been looking for a correctly dated set of Rally Wheels for years. 
I will Quote from the Legends Judging Manual
Page 25
"The wheel stamping date should be within two months of the vehicles assembly date"

If you decide you dont want those wheels I have some gold in exchange.
