Rally wheel dating

[gspraggins]

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.

Where are you located?  I know where there are some XG's but I don't know the dates.  I will be flying home for a visit and can go and see what the dates are.  The wheels are in Eastern Kentucky.

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.

Just to let you know, these wheels are November dated and 2 are later replacement wheels.

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?

They are 1970 dated.  After looking again, 2 are 1970, one in November 1967, one is January 1967, one is November 1968.  Just a mixed collection of wheels I guess.

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?

I'm looking for a Nov 30 67 dated wheel. I have 4 and would like a 5th. They are dated K-1-7 11 30 XG, so they're dated by year of manufacture.

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'm have been looking for the same wheel, with the same results, no early 68 dates(04A car) XN code appears to be for drum brakes, XG for disc brakes cars. The Chevrolet by the Number Book doesn't list a code for drum brake rally wheels in 67 that I could find(may be missing something though) DA  code in 67 is for Camaro D/B ex ss, rally. DG code Camaro SS with D/B, rally. I'm guessing the SS wheel would be 6" wide vs 5" for the standard explaining the different codes. I don't see anything about 67 wheels not being dated. The search continues. Paul

"Rally Wheels" did not exist in 1967 nor were they optional. They were included when disc brakes were ordered.

Back then we called them "disc brake wheels".

They are 1970 dated.  After looking again, 2 are 1970, one in November 1967, one is January 1967, one is November 1968.  Just a mixed collection of wheels I guess.

My mistake,  One is January 1968, not January 67.

In 67 if your car had disk brakes it automatically optioned to the "Disk Brake Wheels"?  What did Chevrolet call the wheels?

Have a 12c power Disc car with DG rally's. Question is where is the date code on the DG?
