Restoration / Matching date for wheels
« on: May 12, 2015, 12:11:54 AM »
Hello guys and all Camaro fans !
I'm new here as I'm currently buying a 69 RS Daytona yellow, my first muscle car ever! The car is a matching numbers LM-1, with all the original components, except for the wheels. So I'm looking for original Rally wheels for my RS.
After searching on the web, I realized that the wheels required, are 14x6 Rally, coded XN (drum brakes). Now I'm wondering about the built date for the wheels ? I want the car as original as possible for exposition, so if the car has been built the second week of september 68, what would be the perfect match for the wheel's built date ? Before September of course, but does 5 or 6 months before would preserve the originality of the car ?
