Turns out I only have three of my original Rally wheels, one has been replaced at some point and the spare is missing. Here's what I know:
- The 3 good ones are stamped DC
- DC decodes to: 67 Corvette or 68-70 Passenger Car (That's us!)

- I do also have "3 11" or maybe "8 11" stamped on the other side of the valve stem
I'm told the dating works like this:
K-1-Y M <hole> D AZ
where:
K - manufacturer (Kelsey-Hayes) 1 - manufacturing plant (Romulus, MI) Y - last digit of year M - one or two digit month (1 thorugh 12) for month of year D - one or two digit day (1 through 31) of month AZ - 15X8 wheel used from 1969 through 1982
I think the K 1 is missing and my wheels are dated Nov 68, which is what a lot of the car is dated, so would make sense.
QUESTION 1: I'm guessing then that if I want date code correct wheel replacements I need DC wheels dated Dec 68?
QUESTION 2: Other than width and offset, is there any difference? like will a 15x6 Wheel Vintiques wheel look the same?
