Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
Gary -- from A.Colvin's '70-75 'Chev by the Numbers' book, FW coded wheels are Chevelle Rally in model year 1974, and both Monte Carlo and Chevelle Rally in model year 1973. So your K-1-4's were probably regular production.
These are a nice 7-inch rim for a C2; no clearance problems with the right rubber; were on my '65 when bought in 1988, and stayed there for 15 years, until upgrading.Comment

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
Help me out here guys,
In viewing this objectively, the first dated entry is Feb. 2, 1967 (B02).
Nothing for production earlier than this, we can now assume that all prior production was of the Large "DC"?
The "DC" entries are:
1st - B23, 1 wheel, Black
2nd - B23, 5 wheels, Black
3-7 are dated after '67 Production and/or indicated for inventory, ie: SR.
3rd - G27, Boss - bGM6, 5 wheels Black
4th - G27, Boss - bGM6, 1 wheel Black
5 - 7 are marked as SR or with an asterisk, perhaps indicating the Small "DC"
5th - I27
6th - K22
7th - K28
"DG" entries are:
1st - B23 - 4 wheels, Black (4 wheels Indicate non-Corvette Application).
Entries 2-4 are after '67 production and/or marked for inventory.
2nd - G03, Boss: bGM6 (Non-Typical Production Code), 5 wheels, Silver.
Possibly appeared in the last week of Production with unusual logistics???
3rd - G27, Boss: bGM6, 5 wheels, Black
4th - G27, INV., Boss: bGM6, 1 wheel, Black.
If this Document is the grail, then,
This would now seem to confirm that all production cars (with the exception of the very early cars with "B" wheels) were produced with the Large DC wheels.

I'll be waiting.Comment

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
I forgot to clarify that Black wheels would indicate production since the Silver was applied in STL.
Thus, indicating the production of Pre-painted Silver wheels would then be intended for inventory.

Here I go again, trying to apply logic to probably the most illogical process ever conceived.Comment

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
Thank you. That clears up the markings on my FW coded wheels. Is there anything in the Colvin book about FI coded wheels (15x6)? Thanks.

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
Gary -- here's what Colvin lists for "FI" stamped wheels; (from his '65-69 and '70-75 C-b-t-N books).
Chevrolet "B" Wagon, Rally; 15 x 6 JK, with 0.06" offset, for production years 1969 and 1970Comment

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
Mike, Correct me if I am wrong but the B23 would be September 66. Thus indicating early build and B or DB wheel.

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
Right, Timothy, this would be important to know.
I don't know, I thought only the body build dating began in August or September and all of the parts and other production dating was on the calendar.
HOPEFULLY SOMEONE CAN CLARIFY.
All of the original cars we have seen have the large "DC' wheels.
The "DG" wheel only seemed to begin showing up a year or so ago.
This would tie in with the information on the document indicating that due to the price and scarcity of the "DC" wheels, people discovered the "DG's" from other applications for use on Corvettes???
Still waiting???

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
Mike,
It's my understanding the chart in this post is refering to build date of the car. There is no way a 1400 or 1500 serial car is built in A=January 67 or B-February etc.
I have serial # 14?? or 15?? (I forget which one) but it's a September build and it has three of it's original wheels and they are two B's and a large DC. The car is at my mothers right now so I can't report on the A or B thing.
I also have a DG wheel with a 2-67 date I can post a picture of if anyone wants. I will check offset of this wheel and the two FI replacement wheels and post results in a day or two.Comment

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
I have 5 original wheels from my March 67 car. All are large DG on the outside and 15X6 JK on the insideComment

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
Am I correct in assuming the offset for DC, DG, B wheel is .060 (1/16")? Can someone tell me + or - offset.
Comment

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
(Again from Colvin's lists) Offsets are:
DC at +0.06"; DG at +0.88"; B at +0.56"
But like earlier posters have mentioned (ie. message # 2 in this thread from Dan Adie) the DG is only listed as a 14 inch wheel (14 x 6JJ).Comment

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
Mike,
B02 would be September 2, 1966 - I think that represents the car build date - body #00148.

Re: 1967 Rally Wheels "DC" vs "DG"
Hi Doug
Please understand that I am not trying to be confrontational, just confused and looking for the right answers.
I didn't make the connection, but, Sept. 2nd production from # 101 thru 201 would include #148.
B02 would be the number stamped onto the trim tag as the BODY BUILD date, not necesarily the car's build date.
The Wheel Code posted, has "Build Date" as the heading above the 2nd column. Are you basing your comments as that being related to the BODY build date?
This makes no sense to me.....
why would GM tie the manufacturing date from an outside wheel supplier, for multiple applications to the Corvette BODY build date.
This would make sense if all the GM production used this nomenclature, but, they didn't.
I can't think of another part on a Mid-Year that uses this nomenclature.
All of the associated bolt-on parts are calendar based.
ie: B02 = February.
I'm still waiting for someone to confirm the date system used and if unique, the psychology behind it.
