1969 or 1979 rally wheels?

[Joseph H.]

These are being advertised as 1969 wheels, but what do you think? Doesn't the 3rd picture with the 15x8 JJ stamp indicate AZ (corvette) wheel also? These would be perfect for my car if they were 1969. Where is the 15x8 JJ stamp located on the wheel itself?

Opinions please.........

As long as the other three have the stampings near the valve stem hole "right side up" as well as that "TRA" stamping then those are 69 rims all right.

I can't coment on the "JJ" stamping because I think my 84 service replacment rim has that as well. However the TRA stamp in the bottom right corner of the third pic was only used until about 1972, hence 79 rims won't have that stamp.

Good luck with the bidding.

The 15 x 8 JJ is located between the front and back, between the rims. It is hidden by the tire when installed. There is also another "K 1 9" in there as well. Do these rims have the welded "BB" near the rim? This would be another indication of a '69 wheel although it was only early in the production (my Oct. '68 car has them) as I understand it.

Thanks for the info guys. I will try and get even more from the person. The centers and rings are not worth much, but any idea what the rims are worth? I am reluctant to bid much more than what the bid is at now.
