Can I date a 14x7 YJ wheel from the following:
K19 near hole in center of wheel
5 on one side of valve stem hole
YJ on other side of valve stem hole
K = Kelsey Hayes; 1= Chevrolet
What does the 5 indicate? Is 9 actual year of manufacture or just production year 69?

"9" in the K-1-9 means it was made in calendar year 1969, and the "5" is May.

there should be another number on the other side of the valve stem. that is the day of the week.
-
Sometimes the valve stem hole is stamped over the date in the month.

Yes, now that I look closer at another wheel I have I see a 6 to the left of the valve stem, and a 7 underneath the valve stem on the right if I move it to one side with my finger. To the right of the 7 is the YJ stamp. Also, to the left of the 6 appears to be stamped K 1 9. The K 1 9 is very faint, almost unreadable.
