67 Ralley wheel ID

[David P.]

Members, I know DC is the code for 67 wheels but I have a set of DG that are also stamped 15x6 with the JK. Chevy by the numbers list DG as Camaro ss 14x6 JJ. Does anyone know if DG is also correct for 67 vette?

Are you sure the wheels actually are 15" wheels (e.g. are 15" tires mounted on them)? If they are, then I'd say the "DG" stamping is some sort of factory mistake.

David,
A fews years back the Restorer had an article specifically about the rally wheel coding. If you or someone here has the that volume I am sure you will find it interesting and helpful.

If I recall correctly, DG stamp was on very early wheels for 1967 model year. DC was used later, and throughout most of the model year. The current 1967 Judging Manual indicates both DG or DC wheels are correct for 1967.

It amazes me that the same wheel code was used for 2 completely different wheels, especially in the same model year. I've got to wonder if the very early wheels were all factory stamping mistakes.

Joe:

I also did some research on this. The very (very) early code was "B". Then "DC".....then some "DG" (around 10,000 VIN).....then the rest "DC". The 2002 and 2003 Restorer articles on this subject were informative, but I remember a later article that explained it even more clearly. But I don't have my later Restorer issues available right now to look. If I remember correctly (not sure anymore at my age) there was a mechanical problem on one of the wheel lines and for a short time the Corvette rally wheels were made on another line. But don't quote me on this part.

I will do a search of our archives to also see if I can get more/additional info. But the latest 1967 Judging Manual clearly shows both DG and DC for that model year.

EDIT: The later articles were also written by Wendel Hans are are Spring 2009 and Winter 2010. Our archives also produced this thread from 2008:

DGs are very common and were not early. They show up well into production and are not rare at all. Why they used both, I dont know, but fact is they did.

Re: 67 Ralley wheel ID

I have a 67 that I bought from the original owner with 5 DG wheels. It's a march car, s/n 14,XXX.

I also have a March car (March 28 build date and VIN 14845), but it came with DC wheels.

Larry,
The later Restorer about the wheels was written by Stan XXX? It was very informative. I'll try and find it.

Ralph:

When I researched the archives, I found this thread and thought it was the one I stated above. https://www.forums.ncrs.org/showthre...7+rally+wheels

If there were other articles, then I missed them.........and apologize to the author (Stan). I have all 2003 Restorer and older ones on a computer disc, but the more recent ones are still paper copies and are filed away where I can't easily get to them.

Re: 67 Ralley wheel ID

Following the discussion of DC 67 wheels here, I looked at some in my collection. I had 3 wheels wsith large DC fonts, but no other markings around the the valve hole. One of them had 66 next to the inside 15X6 JK stamp. Is it normal to find large "DC" wheels without the K 1 and date codes at the valve hole?
