Re: 65-66 wheels

Here's the two wheels side by side. The riveted wheel is on the right, the welded on the left. Interesting discussion.

Gary,

I believe that this has been discussed in other threads. What is the date code on the riveted 1965 wheel. Is it "12 64"? I once owned a riveted "12 64" wheel and I have heard of others. They are not very common. I mentioned this wheel in my April 8th post.

Bill,

BTW, I have read about 57-62 Corvette owners who have had trouble putting the 3838080 wheels on their cars because the hub holes were too small.

Dave

Yep. I've had to file the hub hole on '68 wheels to install them on the front my '59.
