Original wheels for 63

Re: Original wheels for 63

In the backside closeup pic, I see what appears to be "dogbone" style cutouts on the spyder flanges. That isn't a feature of a 63 wheel.

Max,

I can not answer your question regarding wheels, but I could not resist posting as you can see, our cars are twins even down to the KH knockoffs! These are pictures from the showroom where I bought her last December. When was yours built? Mine was mid May with 300HP, 4 speed Muncie and saddle seather seats. Regards,
Jon

Weren't there pictures of early 63's with two bar knockoffs ?

John, I think those were promotional photos. The Paris show car had two bar spinners.

My 63, the LWC had repro KO's for about 25 years. Then the original ones went back on. Dated Feb 63.

Would that Feb. 63 date be an ink stamp?

Dear Jon

I think black corvettes and white corvettes are the nicest ones , just a personal opinion. The white corvette you see in picture is Automatic with Factory air. 50M orig miles. As we speak it is just about ready for next NCRS judging, but I can not use my KH knock offs for judging and I was looking for original 63 steel wheels. I saw some for sale but couldnt tell if they are 63 correct, just by looking at photos.

Max,

I agree! I am partial to the white with the saddle interior and even if I do eventually get my car judged, it will most likely still be with the KO's! Do you know how many points that actually is? I know that it is 100%, but 100% of how much?

Regards,

Jon

Jon, 21. Wheels & wheel covers. Originality 40. Condition 35. Total 75.
Now I don't know what the NCRS Judging Reference Manual says on this. But I know it's not good.
Download the judging sheets. Buy a Corvette Judging Reference Manual, etc. Good luck, JD
