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

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.

They appear to look original and have the larger window opening for Sept YH they went to the smaller windows.

They also have the same date as the misc. pair I have in the basement.

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?
