Thanks.  I've read that the 67 wheels didn't have assembly dates.  Maybe it's the 67 model year wheels didn't have the dates but the 67 assembled wheels for the 68 production year did.

I've asked to question to a few people and no one knows.  How are the Nov 67 wheels dated?  They are for a 68 car, but are the wheels dated for a 68?

Well, that wouldn't work, as they're for 69s I'm guessing because of the start of the 69 build year beginning later in the year.  Thanks for looking.  BTW, how do you know the others are replacement wheels?  Are they dated differently, or just later?

Colorado Springs.  I'll pay whatever shipping is.  I'm just guessing that Feb-May 68 wheels would be the correct date range. I've looked through the site a bit but haven't found a thread that discusses that topic.

I'm looking for a set of XN or XG rally wheels for my 68 Camaro.  It's build date is the 4th week of May, 68.  What would be a good date range to look for for correct dated wheels?  Also any good leads to find any?  I've had a very difficult time finding Feb-May time-frame wheels, which is what I'm guessing would be OK.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for all the info so far.  I still have the question of whether or not Camaro FC wheels were date coded around the valve stem, and if not, where and how were they dated?

My car was assembled in late May 68, and my wheels are dates May 1 (1 wheel), May 6 (1 wheel), May 7 (2 wheels) around the valve stem.  So yes, they were a couple of weeks before car assembly.  I'm was trying to find a fifth for the spare and found an FC wheel that is dated 1968, but no numbers on the lip or around the valve stem.  These are indeed going on a 68 SS car with the orig SS hubcaps.

Decoding/Numbers / 67-69 14x6 FC wheel date codes

I have five FC wheels, which shows 67-69 Camaro in my Colvin's By the Numbers book.  The CRG data shows the FC wheels to have date codes on the lip instead of by the valve stem, but four of my wheels are dated around the valve stem like "K-1-8, 5, valve stem, 7, FC.  I'm trying to put together a set for my 68, but not sure what was correct.  Any help out there?
