z 10 with ss wheels?

[another kurt s]

My Z10 has SS wheels and not Rally wheels, is that correct?  I read they stopped making them around the first of 69, my car is a 05A build.  The stamp by the valve stem reads:

M1 and has a 9 centered under them,  3, stem hole, 15,  YA  Not sure if they are right but the research on this great site did not have anything like the M1 with the 9 under it.  Also did they start stamping the vin by the oil filter?  Thanks for your help, I have found so much info on here its crazy.  Kurt

Kurt,
Those were made by Motorwheel.
I'd say they were added since they were cancelled 1/8/69.

Do you have any idea what these would have been on from the factory?  And I was not sure how to read the markings as to the date of manufacture.  At first I thought they were pontiac wheels, I have seen a couple of pics of SS cars with them but they are hard to find, special order I guess?  So the Z10 would have come with the regular rally wheels?  Thanks for your help.  Kurt

Never seen a mandatory option list for the Z10s, like there was for the Z11's.  A regular SS would come with dog dish hubcaps unless Rally wheels were ordered.  One would assume the Z10s all came with rally wheels but theres no documentation of what that package included except white paint and oriange rally stripes.

Can anyone tell me if these are factory rivets on my tag?

Tag looks fine.

YA wheels were standard equipment on '69 Chevelle SS.
