    65 Steel wheels

    I am going to look at set of 65 steel wheels, with Silvertown Gold Lines, 7.75 x 15 tires. How do I identify that the wheels are actually 65 wheels? Any stamps buy the valve stems?

    Thanks

    Lawrence

    Lawrence, I would have the seller send you a few pictures of the front and back side of the wheels and post it up here.

              Lawrence,

              They look good to me and I think they will clean up well.

                They could have dates well after 1966, but the dates are hidden by the tires.
                3869156. was the Service PN, as I recall.

                    Didn’t they have stamps next to the valve stem starting in ‘67 or shortly after? If they are 65-66 for disc brakes they will have two little nubs above the valve stem

                      Lawrence - Here's example of '65-6 counter wheel, likely 1969 vintage. Note the familiar stamps for Kelsey Hayes, Romulus plant & date format adjacent the valve stem hole. With tire removed, counter wheel has large GM sticker with p/n ID.
